Last night we were drinking tea at 2.30 in the morning and discussing our personal pros and cons. Nevermind that we have an exam on Wednesday morning and quite frankly I have way too much to do before Friday rolls around. As it turns out, it was said that I have an addictive personality. And so I do - I just try to steer it away from computer games and into enjoyable and potentially useful skills such as learning how to knit and photography, which I have thrown myself into with the singlemindedness particularly characteristic of individuals with short attention spans.

In fact, I rememeber that it was this time last year that this obsession started. Generally, during exams, I tend to pick a topic that vaguely interests me and extensively research it in lieu of actually studying. Last year, it was DSLR cameras. This year, it appears to be photography. Next year, I predict that it will be Polariods or Holgas. After all, The Impossible Project is attempting to ressurect instant film.

So, recently, I have discovered the GIMP. Which is the poor-man substitute for Photoshop - but really, it does work quite well. I had also discovered PS actions, and had a little bleah moment when I realised that it was really out of my reach price-wise (we shall ignore the option of downloading illegally off the internet for the moment). But along came GIMP scripts and decent photomanupilation!
