Just a quick one as me and Asami want to get back to some of this!

Song Of The Day: Machine Head - Davidian

Reason: One of my personal highlights of my life was being less than a meter away from Machine Head whilst they were making their way to the stage at Sonisphere!

Highlight Of The Day: Kitty cuddles.

Inspiration Of The Day: Game Of Thrones! Everything about it is just amazing! Plot, characters, locations, costumes, make up, special effects, the books! I could go on!

Yesterday I walked into a stack of boxes whilst trying to shut the kitties out whilst my dad came round. He's severely allergic to cats so they're not allowed in the same room as him when he's here. I've ended up with a massive and really sore bruise sadly. We've also officially swapped the contracts for the house and we've officially got our completion date! Starting to get exciting, but not looking forward to packing everything up.

Today we put a reserve on the house we want to buy! So exciting. Next we have to apply for the mortgage and get all of that sorted. I'm trying not to get super excited over it just yet just on the off chance that anything goes wrong as I'd be heartbroken! I've also found about a million things in  the Bodie & Fou catalogue that I really want to buy. Sadly it's all rather expensive but I may purchase the odd piece every now and then.

Bodie & Fou:


Song Of The Day: Machine Head - Elegy
Reason: Amazing song from an awesome band. Plus when I worked at Sonisphere 2009 I was stood a meter away from them in their van heading towards the stage! Robb Flynn is the living definition of masculinity in my eyes.

Highlight Of The Day: More progress!

Today Facebook has bought Instagram (one of my favourite iPhone apps, ever!) for $1billion. That's a pretty hefty sum of money for a little company with just a phone app, so huge congrats to them. I've ready several articles commenting that apps like Instagram and Hipstamatic (another of my personal faves) are killing 'proper' photography. I have to say I disagree. I love film and photography and am interested in anything visual. Although I think of photography as just a fun hobby of mine, I do want to get better at it and am interested in retro cameras, toy cameras, lomography etc. As you may know, I've recently been given a Praktica BCX and this is really the first proper film camera I've ever had so I'm just adoring it at the moment and having fun experimenting. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for my initial interest in photography followed by the fact that I was able to use apps such as Instagram that I may not be the proud owner of that Praktica at this moment. Instagram allows me, and its millions of other users to, experiment super cheaply and is fun to use to make my photos a little different from the norm. So, good luck to Instagram, here's hoping you only change for the better!
