Camera again

Hey this is Kye talking about the camera thing again. if you're like me and you tend to damage yer camera, make sure that you break it within 30 days. then you might be able to swap it out for a new one at the store you bought it from. I got my camera on 7/16/08. now it is 8/15/08. I was so close to having to go though that whole reimbursement thing again. I so Lucked out! So now I don't feel so stressed. But no more rain for me. na ah.

Knew Better

This is to re-enforce what I said yesterday about making rain movies with a consumer's digital camera. NEVER attempt it! All that dirt and water that I was talking about destroyed my camera. the worst part is that I KNEW better than to put that thing in water. Water and camera's don't mix. (duh) I wanted to crawl under a rock and die this morning. As I said, I knew better. Something similar happened to my last camera. But did I learn from that last lesson? NOOOOOOO! I think this one's gonna stick though. Going though two cameras in one year is just not right. *Bangs head on Keyboard* obeiojewiouetk dhf

Stand in the Rain? I think Not

I"m going to say this out right. Don't EVER try to make a movie that happens in the dark and in the rain when all you have is the movie setting on your digital camera. It is NOT a good idea. You know 'Stand in the Rain' by Superchick? Well, I'm trying to use that song and make a music video for it. The problem (besides only having a dinky digital camera) is the fact that when it rains around here, it's a huge storm with lightning and everything. You don't want to be out filming in that. So we have to "make rain" with the hose. After two nights of fruitless filming, I'm about to give up. Besides, I don't like getting soaked to the bone with the hose! I'm gonna give it one more shot and hope it pays off.

Painting Nightmare

K I haven't been doing any posting cuz there isn't really anything interesting to post about. my life has been going along like normal without any Major highlights.

Today, Nathan asked me if he could use my paints so he could paint a picture to enter in the fair in two weeks. I thought this was a good idea so I pulled out my art box and my brushes. (for those of you who don't know, I used to take an art class when I lived in MD and I had quite a few nice brushes, paints and art experience) I sat down with a black piece of paper in front of me and began to paint with reds, yellows and oranges. Also black. Black sometimes does show up on black nicely. Anyway Abby came into the room.

"Can I paint?"

"Not right now Abby. And NOT with these paints"

"Can I paint?"

"No!"

She went to get mom. meanwhile, Rachel came in the room. "I want to paint too!"

Before I knew it, all four of us kids were sitting around the table using my paints and panting with my nice five dollar and up brushes. *cringes*. I got a little stressed because not all of my sibs know how to use the brushes so they don't break the bristles. ok, I was FREAKING OUT! it didn't help that the dogs were running around like mad around the kitchen. Nothing really bad happened to my brushes (luckly) but I don't think I want to go though that again any tine soon. It was a painting Nightmare. I did end up with a nice piece of finished work though.

Rest of the Week

Sunday the 27th: That walk i took with Ruth caught up to me and I could barley stay awake during church. I ended up taking a nap when I got back to my grand parents. It was just me this time. No Friends. Which was nice and annoying at the same time. I didn't really have anything to do. I talked Granny into going back to blockbusters and I found 'Alex Rider: Operation Stormbraker'. it was based on the first book of the Alex Rider series. Cuz the screen play was written by the author of the books, it was a really good movie. I got to sleep in that big sleep number bed again.

Monday the 28th: What did I do on Monday? Oh yeah. I went to the library to see if my card still worked. (I hadn't used it in a year) turns out that I needed to tell the librarian my old phone number and I couldn't remember it. She let me check the book out anyway (even though I was from out of state) because It was just one book and she's seen me often enough that she knows I'll bring the book back. Then I went over the Alyssa's. Guess what we did? We went on a walk. Yes I'm stupid. Feet still have blisters from Friday btw and I made them worse. It a nice walk anyway. I went past the place where I used to live. The ppl that live there now planted a few more trees and the swing set is no longer there. I didn't watch a movie that night.

Tuesday the 29th: I got my hair cut/trimmed and then went to Kmart to get a new hair brush. spent most of the afternoon finishing the library book and on the computer. Then Jen came over at 5:00 PM. We played kings in the corner and I emptied my hand in the first play. Then we went to blockbusters (again) and got Aurthur and the invisibles. Jen and I ended up crying because we were laughing so hard.

Wednesday the 30th: I'm going home tomorrow. Jen and I went on a short walk and then played around with our cameras. We hug them on the clothes line and then sat underneath and tried to get a picture of us both laying on the ground. it didn't really work but it was a lot of fun. I'm going to be going back to Alli's tonight and her mom is going to take me to the airport in the morning. So ends my stay in Maryland.

Week So Far...

k so this is how my week has been so far. (if there are a ton of typos, it's cuz I'm using a strange keyboard)

Tuesday the 22: I had to spend two hours sitting in the air port cuz the flight was delayed and then spend four hours on the plane listening to two ladies talk about babies. When I got to BWI, Alli picked me up and we had ice cream. =) Then we were up till the wee hours of the morning talking. Spent the night in a nice regular bed.

Wednesday the 23: Spent all day at the mall! (we don't have those were I live) We window shopped in various places and bought a few things, went and saw WALL-E. I'd seen it before but Alli hadn't. Spent the night on a couch bed.

Thursday the 24: this is where I switched friends. We met Ruth in the burger king parking lot. I couldn't get the darn door on Alli's van open and when I finely did, Ruth jumped on me with this bear of a hug. I went home with her and said good-bye to Alli. That night, I got to see X-man. ya know that the twin towers are still standing in that movie? I'm guessing it's cuz the movie was made before 9/11. Spent the night in a tent and was a nice feast for little blood-sucking pests.

Friday the 25: Here is something you should NEVER do. Go on a five mile walk right before lunch time without water while wearing flip-flops. You will regret it for the rest of the week! Ruth and I left on a walk to the Laurel reservoir just before lunch and didn't get back until 4:00 PM. We were walking the whole time too. Didn't stop at all. When we finally did get back to her house, we drowned ourselves in glasses of water and then fell asleep on Ruth's bed. Our feet hurt so much it was hard to walk. Ugh. Ow. My Cuz picked me up then. I spent the night with her on a blow up air mattress after watching Fight Plan and listening to Em's hamster run around on it's wheel a million times.

Saturday the 26: I proved to the world that I suck at Minni golf. and regular golf. End of discussion. I'm gonna spend the night at Granny's in a nice, soft, sleep number bed. Heaven!

Leaving!

I am going to get up in the morning and drive for four hours with my family to Albuquerque so I can get on an airplane and fly for a long time until i get to the east coast and Baltimore. I'm really excited. I get to see all my old friends again. but right now, I'm freaking out. I keep thinking that I forgot to put something in my luggage...

I'm going to try to keep the blog updated while I'm there. (that is if ppl are nice enough to let me barrow their computers)

See some of yo peeps when I get back! MD here I come!
