Sunday Boredom
See, this is what happens when consumers buy products equipped with pointless and gratuitous features like Apple’s Photo Booth. Is there a bigger time-waster than this thing? I was hoping to use this Sunday to accomplish the chores I’ve been procrastinating for weeks, and instead I’m engaged in this foolishness:
And this:
Ok, how old am I? Thought I was a grown woman.
The thermal camera special effect is just charming, isn’t it?
Help! I can’t stop.
Guys, I’m sorry. I brewed a kick-ass pot of coffee this morning and now I’m so hopped up on caffeine I can’t focus on laundry or closet sorting or anything of that nature. I’m just so comfy in my sweatshirt, hanging out in my living room, and totally digging my new computer that I’ve reduced my blog to mindless postings. If it’s any consolation, I do have John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme playing in the background. I should get some cred for that.
My profound apologies for this childish display. Can’t believe I’m actually going to press the “publish” button. I’m such an idiot. But it’s not me, it’s the stupid Photo Booth! Get this thing away from me!

Most definitely muse worthy… I enjoyed the energies I found here… as for time wasting, well… look at the memories you have now… the happiness you shared here… that is not a waste of time.

Note to self: get Apple Photo Booth and try thermal effects.
You did some creative work today. Not bad for an end-of-winter Sunday!

Enreal,
You are so sweet! What nice comments. Thank you offering such a sensitive and uplifting interpretation of my snapshot parade!

Jan,
Thanks for your comments as well! I did have fun entertaining myself. By the way, if you liked the thermal effect of Photo Booth, try “pop art”, “glow”, and “comic book”. They’re insane!

LOL! Comic book sounds wonderful. I wonder if there’s a Roy Lichtenstein filter.
Your black and white images make me think you’ve been interviewed for a review with a major art magazine. There’s a little of the cheekiness of Marjane Satrapi (author and illustrator of the graphic novel Persepolis), so it could be a literary interview also.
