it's been a while

I'll try to update this with what I've been up to/ done, since last time.

I've lost my house keys, which is annoying cos that means I've also lost my locker key(luckily we have a spare) and my bike lock key(luckily I have a spare). But I have to pay the landlord some extortionate money for a new key, so I'm putting it off for as long as I can, just incase I find them.

When searching for my keys I came across one of the best things I have ever found, even better than the time I found £50. My colour film which I shot at Reading '09. I was certain I lost it and I was distraught for aaaaaages. I never really got over it. But then I found it under my bed!

here's some of them;



I noticed how there's none of people haha. But I'm chuffed to bits about finding these.

also I bought myself a little Olympus Trip point and shoot camera for like £1.50 and it worked well and looked cool.
Me and Erin went on a bike-ride to Boscombe in the pissing-down rain, stupidly, and I thought 'yeah I'll take my new camera!'. and we were cycling for about 3 minutes and I though Icould get a decent photo of Erin cycling so I was tryna sort out my camera to take a photo. So I was like cycling one-handed looking through the viewfinder and then I went to take it and 'BANG!'. Turns out I blew the flash up on the 2nd photo I took with it. I didn't get an electric shock or anything. It was pretty stupid of me to take a photo in the rain with an electronic flash camera haha. But now the flash like charges every time I go to take a photo, but sadly it doesn't fire. Here's the photo that it blew up on;


Also, my dad found me 5 rolls of 35mm film, 3 Truprint ones and 2 Konica films. All expired about 15 years ago. oh and 1 Truprint 110 film, but I gave that to Erin.

I shot 2 rolls of the Truprint stuff through my new Olympus. Pretty cool, the colours are all saturated and stuff.

We were doing a different trick over each piece of wood and they got higher the further you got. It was such a hot day so we were jusy messing around doing stupid stuff like this. well fun though.
yeah I thought I'd take this sort of not expecting it to come out especially without flash. But it did, pretty cool.

oh yeah I also got this one, I really like it.

I also got a new board that is now pretty much old ha. I bought from 5050 by accident. I follow their blog and they had a post that was like a discount code for 10% off so I thought I'd have a look, knowing that I can't afford anything anyway, and I found an A Third Foot deck that I thought was cool.So I clicked the right sized one and stuff and then tried the discount code but it didn't work so I was like 'oh well, can;t really afford it anyway'. But then as I went to click off the site it said I had to pay for it 'cos I'd gone through some of the checkout bits. Although I never typed my name or card details etc. so I was like 'fucks sake now I gotta get one'. so I did it and paid for it, then I got a phone call from one the guys that worked there and he was like ' we haven't got that board in stock...' and I was thinking 'yes! thank fuck', 'but we have got another 8" board by them that's exactly the same shape' so I couldn't say no. they also chucked in a free boxset of all their DVDs.
it's actually a real nice board too. and I'm keeping it British which is the only type of patriotism I'll take part in, skateboarding.

I'll leave with this funny photo I found quite serendipitously in Winton, when I just happened to have my new camer with me. Not the Olympus but my Canon EOS 10, so nice.

anyway,
