So I woke up, was so tired and half asleep so I could hardly walk straight, and had to navigate through a crowd of people I didn't know on my way up to the shower. Yea, they were still here at 10:15 this morning, and the house appears to still be in one piece. I was only woken up once, and that was my dad looking for the fart machine in my room. He neglected to notice the full giant glass of water next to my bed, so kicked it over - that's just about dry now... Anyways, we were all tired so didn't do anything until dinner for Mother's Day, except for relatives kept showing up. There wasn't any big thing going on, just different people stopping by all day, which sorta kept the weird party atmosphere alive for most of the day. We went and picked up Olive Garden for dinner since we didn't want to bother with a crowded restaurant (would you want to either if you had just had about 40 high schoolers in your house for an extended period of time?). This afternoon I was just laying on the couch playing with my dad's digital camera and took a whole ton of pictures. I decided that they need to have more consumer-level digital cameras with manual focus - it's too easy to completely confuse auto-focus if you want to do any type of effect. It didn't help that I didn't really want to learn the settings for manually setting the light level on that camera, and I was lazy so would have liked more zoom (it's 10x optical, which works pretty well for most things). I did get one picture which makes a decent background after a bit of touchup (Orig). I did all the work and my local copy are in lossless compression, which looks a bit better (it's not posted here for space reasons, if you want it just ask). It's still based off the original jpg though. I only took about a dozen shots of that one, so I wish I would have been shooting in tiff mode so it wouldn't have all the artifacts. Oh well, maybe if I don't get bored with that background and the weather is right again sometime. Movies of the day were Frequency, which is pretty good, and Redline (not in IMDB), which is pretty bad. The story sounded sorta interesting sci-fi, but by the end of the movie I still hadn't really figured out the point to the plot, and was wondering how they managed to keep it rated R... Anyways, finally getting around to checking the email and IMs for the day. I hardly touched the computer today if you sent me messages and wondered why I hadn't responded. It looks like Dave put up a bunch of pics. Well, the caffeine isn't having much effect anymore, and I have to get up in the morning...
