Day 79 - f o c u s

What I need to do.

I have two college applications due tomorrow and I need to throw together some sort of portfolio website in the next few days.

All I really want to do is sleep and read a book or watch a movie :)

I think I'll be doing at least a few more text-related ones.

also, just fyi - the text WAS on the paper. Not photoshopped in.

haha, it's kind of ironic that you took this picture in the first place, innit?

margolove says:

haha, yeah peter, I was thinking that the whole time.

But... there had to be a photo for today, and this seemed perfect :P

Thanks, kate and leon and others. That was fast!

margolove says:

also, HOLY FUCK I DROPPED MY CAMERA ON THE TILE FLOOR TAKING THIS.

The lens was extended and everything.

I am so, so, so incredibly lucky that only a tiny piece of the battery door got busted off. It doesn't really stay shut but I can fix it with a rubber band. Holy shit it was a five-and-a-half foot drop...

icebar ◕‿◕ says:

haha regarding you dropped camera comment, i'm so sorry you dropped it.
but i've dropped mine oh maybe 5 times. of course it's just a small, silver digital one... but yeah. the louvre in france with the stone floor is not a good place to have that happen. i've been thru it.
lol

icebar ◕‿◕ says:

oh man, i was gonna ask you where you were applying but i know ppl who don't know what the results will be are sometimes hesitant on telling ppl that info. ok so anyway i'm applying to Mount Holyoke, a women's school in Mass. for early decision, due Nov. 15th.
Posted 26 months ago. ( permalink )

margolove says:

haha, yeah, I'm sure it happens to everyone :)

It was on a tripod though and I had forgotten that I hadn't screwed it on... I tried to adjust something and it went crashing down. The floor is basically as hard as stone (and is unever, with concrete in the cracks... yeeek). THAT won't happen again.

ooh, and I know someone that went to Mt. Holyoke! Nice school; good luck :)

I like this one better of yours.. have you decided which one to submit?

I tried to do mine this morning.. and just 5 letters to describe my attempt... F A I L E

margolove says:

thanks, steph!

not quite yet, amelia. I have another idea for tomorrow, so we'll see how that turns out (I'm a huge text nerd, so I was really excited about this one and kind of just want to do a series in general, haha). I think I like this one better, too.

and oh no! I hope that you can work it out :/

Good thing you wrote, cause I was gonna ask otherways ;).

I am asking you for a permission to use this photo in a non-commercial term paper my girlfriend is doing (subject is "text in illustration").
