Coffee Chat-Come on in, it's been a while!

 Good morning everyone, it's been a while since I invited you all in for a coffee at the kitchen table. 

Help yourself to a funny face mug and have a seat. 

Don't sit too close though, I have a bit of a cold, I think.

Though, I've been very busy at work, and most of my job is physical, so I don't know if it's because my body is tired, and needs a rest, or I have that over all feeling like a cold is coming on. 

Anyway, (takes a sip of coffee) Let's have a little catch up. 

Funny face mug and Pizza Dude

He's been a great help around the old place here.

I've kind of organized things a little bit around here. Added a background of a great photo of the highway I took with my holga camera, and have been developing my film myself! Just the negatives.

I have a great place for it, as my basement is so dark that it makes the perfect darkroom as it has no windows. So I have a small amateur little set up in the far corner of it. I was thinking of developing actual pictures other than just negatives, but from what I hear, you need good ventilation for that. 

Anyway, here's a few other photos I took and developed. 

The quirks in the vintage toy camera, with the light leaks, odd over exposures make it kind of fun to use. Also it has this odd thing where it may not roll the film all the way so I end up with three photos kind of over lapping, which leads to cool effects. 

I should really do up a page at the top here with my photos I take. I had it's own area on my old website before moving here. I don't know why I didn't make one.  

Anyway that all aside, the next thing that may seem a little different is that I don't do a daily song shuffle. I have put that sort of thing as it's own little spot on the side here, and just do an album of the week type of thing, where I share what really caught my ear over the weekend. I do love music, but this isn't really what my blog is mostly for, so doing it daily took away from focusing on my daily writing pieces. Oh! Also I do a quick little doodle. 

I've been having to use my TCL nxtpaper phone mostly for work because I have been on the go at job sites for the last while, and trying to type and conference in on my blackberry has been hell, never mind the flip phone I also use. But the TCL phone made me love how good it is for reading books on, as it's an ereader type of phone, and the screen feels like paper. Very similar to my kindle scribe. 
So I added something just called "Sketchbook" on it. Playing with that with the stylus, as I'm waiting in the morning for my coffee to brew has been great fun. It seems to kick start my mind into that creative zone, and makes sitting down to do the morning poem a lot quicker. 

Other than that, everything else has been kind of the same. OH! Other thing I ended up getting rid of the "Bin Child" channel because I don't want to have a billion channels to look after, and so I have been moving videos over to the channel I wanted to create with this blog's name attached. Potato Camera Creations is still as it is, because that's more for sillier comic stuff. Though it would be fun to move it all over here eventually, but that channel has had an abundance of videos on it, so I think it's best to leave it as is, though I may put my favourites on the dystopian channel. I don't know yet. 

OK. That seems to be all I had to get off my chest. So be on the look out for the photography page at the top later today when I've finished some errands I have to run. 

Just a sip of coffee left.

Thanks for stopping by for coffee. Talk to you all again sometime soon. 

Keep breathing in stardust you beautiful creatures.
