Today started out kinda rough. Nothing horrible, but it was cold, windy, and did I mention it was cold? Also, some craziness started at work right off the bat - never an indication of a truly great day. You totally need that hour or so buffer before you start dealing with crazy, right? Or is that just me? Anyway, after that it just tapered off. However, 2 things made me very, very happy. And because it's the middle of January in Maryland, there's not much to tell you about other than these 2 things.
1. A few weeks ago I decided I was finally going to order myself a Canon Selphy. After months and months of reading about how wonderful they were for scrapbooking, I found a great after-Christmas sale on Amazon, had a gift card and bit the bullet. It arrived a few days ago, but I haven't had any time to use it. Until tonight. After about 3 minutes of figuring the thing out, I was printing pictures that were perfect. I had heard it was kind of slow, but I don't think so at all.
I was not only able to print from my SD card from my camera, but I was also able to download an app and print photos directly from my phone, in the blink of an eye. This little machine is my new best friend. As soon as I started printing I realized 2 things - Project Life is going to be so much easier now and I really should start hoarding ink and paper. I have a feeling I'm going to be needing a lot of it if tonight's printing project is any indication.
2. I know illegal downloading is wrong. I'm also highly against people recording things (or even just using their phones) in theatres. It's distracting to the audience and more importantly, it's distracting to the performers. However, I must admit the entire performance of Next to Normal that's been popping up on my YouTube suggestions for the last week has been quite intriguing. When I decided I needed something to watch while Project Life'ing using the photos I just printed, I determined Next to Normal would be it.
And oh my goodness, that show is just brutally beautiful. I cried 3 separate times (#soggyphotos). But on the other hand, it's just so real and so believable. It had such heart that I couldn't stop watching - what I usually do when things get a little too sad. I can't even imagine seeing that emotion live in a theatre. I would have been sobbing rather than just tearing up every few minutes. Absolutely gorgeous! What I learned while watching it was that apparently there are tons of people illegally downloading shows to YouTube, so if you're wanting to see it too, you shouldn't have too much of a problem...
Oh, and I forgot, there were actually 3 things that made me very happy today. The third was that I bought the winning PowerBall ticket so don't worry about spending your money. The numbers haven't been pulled yet, but I'm most positive I'll be a billionaire tomorrow morning : )
