Weekend

Friday was spent relaxing at home.

Saturday I ran out to the Minnesota Zoo for a couple hours. The two baby girl tigers are so big! I spent quite a while watching them & taking pictures, both color digital for me and B & W for my class. I sat down in front of the glass to take a picture and was very pleasantly surprised to find that the ground was heated! I saw wolves & lemurs too.
Here's a picture of cub #11144, aka Lana:


and another one:


and I'm pretty sure this one is also Lana, but it's hard to tell w/o a front shot of her face:

That whole stone area is heated both inside & outside the glass! Yay!

The 3 wolves slept the entire time. Boys are lazy. :) All the girl wolves are currently out of there.


Jeanine came over Saturday night & showed us pictures of her trip to Mexico & she brought us back all kinds of cool things! I want to be on a warm beach right now! And of course, all the talk about Mexico got us craving Mexican food so we went on up to El Loro. Yummy!

Today hellbob & I headed on over to genevra & akdar's house to babysit the twins so they could go to a movie. I have the cutest niece & nephew ever! And they crawl now!

After we left their place hellbob & i headed downtown & I took some more pictures for my class. Tomorrow night I get to develop the film to see if I've got anything good for my assignment that's due in a week & a half!

Grr. Cranky Hellziggy!
Aeryn Sun, my iPod, is not wanting to work correctly. Her middle button mostly does nothing, then randomly it will work when I hit it for a couple times then not work again. I took her in for this last week & we thought it was fixed after they cracked her open. But no, today she is not working again. At least I can make my genius bar appointment from work instead of having to wait until I'm at Southdale to get my place in line!

I'm so stupid! I processed my film wrong. Somewhere between shooting it & processing it my brain decided that it was Plus-X 125 instead of T-Max 100. Grr. So I only processed it for 7.5 minutes instead of 10.5. My negs are very light & thin, but I think that with the help of filters I'll be able to get some useable images out of it anyway. I printed one that was kinda light & muddy on the contact sheet w/a #4 filter & it looks pretty good. I think tomorrow will be Darkroom Night here at the HellHouse. :)

Worst case scenario, I go back to the zoo & sit on a nice heated rock in front of the tigers again. :)
