Today I had the pleasure of guest-blogging over at AliThinks. She said I could do whatever I wanted, so come join me in my mischief.

Go take a look at Ali’s blog. Take one of these with you:

After you’ve read some of her stories, and oohed and aahed at her amazing photos, wrap some TP around her masthead, all over her Flickr, or throw some on the comments. It’s just what you do when someone’s not home, and you have no adult supervision. And if you’re here from AliThinks, thanks for stopping by. After taking a look around, don’t forget to grab a roll to take back to Ali’s.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

I had a lot of fun doing this week’s SPF assignment from Kristine, because I got to try out some cool new stuff with my camera. Goodie gumdrops!

1. Macro: take a picture of something ‘close up’. Don’t use your zoom, make sure you have good lighting and make sure you’re steady. If you have to, set your camera down on something and then take the picture.
2. NO FLASH: try swiching the flash off and taking pictures of your stuff without it. It may take a lot of pictures to get the right shot, but open the windows and find artifical light to get it to work.
3. Perspective: get up high or down low…either way, change the perspective of your picture..tilt the camera sideways. Change the layout of the picture. Instead of having the subject framed perfectly in the middle of the picture…move it to the left or the right.

Macro:

Yeesh, look how dirty my car is. Blame it on the rain. Hey, that’s the name of a Milli Vanilli song. (Random useless information tidbit.)

No flash:

That is a twin-lens reflex camera. It’s not mine–as if I’d know how to use that thing. Gah! Oh, but I do know that not using a flash means you need to set the camera down on something. So I propped it up on a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy book. It’s how all the professionals do it.

Perspective:

That tiny white speck under the park sign? It’s the moon y’all. How cool is that? Cooler still is that today I could go outside and take pictures because the rain finally stopped. For a day.

Didja play?

I hate Duke. And I think you mean Christian Laet… no, I don’t think I want to finish that.

It means good morning, in the most formal sense. I hope that helped.

Immunity idle
Note to self: misspell more or use more puns. Makes for more hits.

Hot mustaches
I think you all know how I feel about this one.

I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night
While I am the authority on this, I’m keeping that secret to myself.

Hermione pole dancing vids
People just assume that after a couple of beers Emma Watson will just don the stilettos and swing around a pole.

Who is Emmer Effer
Anyone can be Emmer Effer, really.

Having sex while sound asleep. Now that’s what I call multi-tasking!

My way hot meat
I have no words for this one.

Random/useless information
Now this one? I understand.

Which of these acts of idiocy did I commit today? (You may select more than one.)
