Customization

After hours of cleaning my room and library yesterday, it seemed to be lending gifts to me like it was Christmas. I found things I had been missing for a long time, including this laptop case. It was probably meant for my old high school laptop, but fits my current laptop like a glove. I decided to elaborate on it for kicks - if I am going to use it, boring and white seemed unacceptable. Sharpie worked like a charm, and I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Before Irene

I took my last vacation not too long ago at Cape Hatteras, down in Hatteras Village, an island off North Carolina. Unfortunately the area got hit pretty hard today, and the island is once again split, but I hope there won't be too much damage in the end.

My boyfriend's grandparents have a vacation house down there with a gorgeous view of the water. Joining him and his friends, we headed down from Baltimore on Friday last week. Surrounded by houses on stilts and sandy beaches, it is a very relaxing place to be. Here is a panorama I stitched together from the view from the deck:

Sunset every night also was gorgeous, and here is another (the colors here look TERRIBLE, goddamn you Blogger):

At 1AM on Wednesday night, we departed, getting around traffic of the next morning's 8AM mandatory evacuation. Driving long hours into the dawn, we were all sad to see our vacation short.

Sorry for the Neglecting of this....

Of course I waste post 100 on something trivial. Only I would do this.

Anyways, entries soon about what I've been up to, I've been so busy I haven't done anything here! I feel bad nothing's been up here for a month, not even pictures of my new shoes! When work is over today or tomorrow, I would like to write posts on the photography I've been doing, both for my jobs and for pleasure.

See you all soon!
