Impulse flying
Feb 24th, 2009 by John
Boredom is dangerous. It has recently led to myself and some housemates booking flights to Denmark. Strangely cheap flights at that, thanks to easyJet and us only taking one hold bag between us. So I’m going to Copenhagen for two nights next week! And the flights cost about the same as a night out on the town so it’s all good.
Life in Cambridge plods along. The brolly hop still hasn’t been booked and all my lectures seem to have ceased for the year. Hopefully my complainy emails will get somewhere! I went to FOCUS today, a big photo convention at the NEC. ‘Twas quite reasonable, although once you’ve seen one company that makes photo albums you’ve sort of seen them all. Why there were bunny-girls selling camera insurance and 40 year old ‘school girls’ demonstrating green-screen photography, I have no idea. I was disappointed to find that the new Hasselblads were not being given away as freebies, although they were giving out 2Gb memory cards… show offs!
Nothing else has happened really! I have the new Photoshop, which apparently can deal with 3d and video, so I’m trying to get to grips with those concepts without my head falling off. My housemates spend all day playing computer games so it’s impossible to escape the sounds of war echoing around the place! Otherwise I’m trying to get nosy-grindstones again with the photography.
Hope everyone else is perfectly cromulent, ttfn :]
^ Insert joke above “The only thing I ended up buying from the convention was camera insurance”. Or something to that effect.
You’re not the only one going away for a couple of days this week. I too am off to Paris on Saturday! I’m very excited even though it’s only for the weekend. Hope you have an equally marvellous time in Denmark. I’ve always wanted to go since I have a few Danish friends. Be sure to sample a real Danish pastry on my behalf!
Ooh pastry, a very good point. It will be my pleasure.
