I get in my car this morning and realize I’m tired of hearing the music I’ve had in the CD player for over a month. I decide to listen to the radio. I have a few favorite stations but I was in the mood for something different. I don’t keep any other CDs in my car so I had to scan the radio stations. I don’t think I’ve listened to the radio in my car for any length of time since I bought the car. Since it had a 6 CD changer built in, I haven’t really had a need to listen to the radio. I just burn CDs with songs I like and listen to them over and over again. I have no idea what stations are available these days. I hit scan and couldn’t pick one I liked. I only have about a 10 minute commute to work so by the time I got to work, I had not chosen a station. On the way home this afternoon I listened to one of the tired CDs I already had in the changer. This evening I decided to pick out some new CDs to listen to. I picked Bruce Springsteen’s Greatest Hits and The River. I also chose Shania Twian’s UP. Then I also burned 2 CDs with various titles from my iTunes library. So on my short trip to and from work tomorrow, I’ll have something new to listen to. Oh the joy!

I was also fooling with my camera this evening and decided to see if it would take night shots. I quickly snaped off a shot and it came out shaky (hence, the first picture). Then I read the book a little and figured out the settings and took another picture (hence, the second picture). The photos are of the skyline of Tysons Corner off my balcony. Doesn’t look too bad. I actually like the artistic look of the first shaky picture. And with the basic lens the camera came with, I couldn’t get too close to the subject. Maybe it’s time to get a telephoto lens or zoom lens. I’ll have to check to see how much they are for my camera. I shouldn’t be spending any more money but it would be nice to have either one of those lens to get closer to subjects I want to photograph. I’ll have to experiment more with night shots. I would love to go into the city some night and take some amazing shots of different buildings. That would cool. I’ll have to talk Brad into going downtown with me sometime to do that. It would be fun.
