I took these pictures just outside of Tesco in Clitheroe, I have often seen blue beaks here but never had a camera, but now I have my camera on me at all times and I have got these great pictures of these strange ducks which few people believe in. There were two there at the same time which was a bonus, I will continue to collect pictures of blue beaked ducks and continue to post them, and please anybody who has their own pictures please send them to me (contact information to the right).
Lost my apple earphones about 2 weeks ago and found them today. I thought I had lost them outside my house so I would not see them again, but they appeared in my bed today, I must have fallen asleep listening to a podcast and not retrieved my earphones. But I had given up on finding them so it came to me as a surprise , but the weird thing was that I did not think of buying a new pair.
Well the thought was in the back of my head to buy some new ones, obviously not apple ones cause they not worth the £25, but maybe some Sonys. But I would probably have never got round to it, which is weird. Because I have my Shures, it was only a mild hindrance upon my daily routine, but a definite one which nagged, so I don’t know why I would have not bought some new earphones. It was not like me at all.
But how bad are the apple earphones? They are not horrible but they are only worth around £7 in my opinion. I have only had this pair for less than a year and they are already showing signs of wear and tear, but my Shures are around 2 years old and no signs of wear are shown. Joe always seems to be buying new earphones cause his break, and I have always been happy that I have never bought a new pair through need, I have either wanted some quality ones or got a new pair with a new iPod. But looking at the latest apple earphones I am surmised they have lasted this long, they do look quite cheap indeed, in comparison to my Shures anyway. As you can see below with the comparisons of high wear points my Shures scream touch and the apple just look bad. But of course my apples have their pros, the main thing is that they are quick to use where my Shures need a bit of fiddling, but that is about it.
So yes, my earphones reappeared a few minutes ago, yay.
I have finally figured out my super human ability, the ability to see things in pictures that are not meant to be there! I have always has this gift, seeing things in patterns and what not, more recently you may have seen the shirt of two pandas, where if you look at the shirt t a different angle there is a different panda which I don’t think the designers meant to put there. And even more recently I saw this picture.
I have been in Blackpool since Monday for my brother’s 18th birthday, stayed in a nice hotel for a few days and had rather a good time. But in the hotel they had pictures all over similar to the one shown above, some sort of angular party. Walking down the stairs oen day I saw a cat in one of the pictures, I have given you a bit of help above, so then I realised this is my talent which I am quite happy with, the ability to see the unseen, sounds amazing!
Finally got a picture of a near blue beak duck (thankyou new camera). Now I am carrying my camera wherever I go I can now go on the hunt of these blue beaked ducks which nobody believes in. I know the one shown above looks more grey, but right at the tip it is turning blue and I have seen some full blue beaks in my time of looking for them. Joe Pennock has seen one when he was with me so you can ask him if they are real, because they are. So I am one step closer to proving their existence to the non-believers. If anybody out there has a picture of a full blue beak duck please send it me at leebialecki@gmail.com so I can convince my Dad of their existence.
I was in Tesco around a week ago and was stricken with glee when I saw Coke Cherry bottles right next to the Coke bottles; I bought a bottle straight away and put it in the fridge. I do not know how long they have been selling it in 2 litre bottles, but it was the first time I had seen it, so I hope some time recently. As you may already know, the only Coke which tastes good out of a 500ml bottle is Coke Cherry, and because they only sold it in 500ml bottles I always drank it out of the bottle, so I was interested to see what it tasted like out of my glass.
So I have just bought two more bottles today and making my way through one right now, I actually prefer tit o regular coke from my glass just for in my room and at night, but of course when I am eating at home a tall glass of regular Coke with a straw can’t be beaten. So yes, I thought I would just let you know you that they are selling Coke cherry in 2 litre bottles now, so go buy a bottle now and see how you like it. (Bellow is a picture of my Coke glass)
Here are some tips on how to eat carrot and cucumber. Most people will eat cucumber in slices, those people are idiots! In slices they are just water in vegetable form with a ring of not so nice skin, but in my way you actually taste the cucumber and don’t just use it as a salad filler. What you do is eat it in chunks, then you are a step closer to cucumber sanity, but if you want to add that bit more taste you nibble the skin off and eat the soft centre with all its tasty greatness! Most people say that cucumber is tasteless water in vegetable form, but they have not tried eating it my way so they have a chunk of their lives missing (a cucumber chunk)
Now on to carrots. Carrots are ok in their regular form, slices or chunks both get the same taste, which is not a bad taste at all. But there is a better way to eat them to make them much sweeter. What you want to do is nibble the outer layer off first (most carrot eaters wont even realise there are two layers, three if you include the skin). IT is quite tricky to just eat the outside but I have developed a method I cannot explain, but once you get a bit of the core showing you can easily pry the rest from the core, its just biting the first bit off correctly which is quite difficult.
So I hope you have learnt something from me today and you enjoy these vegetables more in the future (because of me). So go forth and eat carrots and cucumbers.
I like eyes, but mine seem to have changed a few times through my life. I know it sounds impossible, but I am just going off what people have said to me. Of course I started blue like most people, then the earliest I can remember after blue people said green, then I have had people say hazel and grey, and now finally people on the bus a few days ago said they were green. The picture above does not show much green really, but that could just be my camera. I often think it might be cool to have purple eyes, like if somebody asks what colour eyes I have I could be like “purple” and they would be like “you sure? *person looks at my eyes*. WOW! They ARE purple!” eye think that would be quite good (bit of a pun there for you).
But people’s feelings on eyes seem to differ a lot from person to person. I like eyes in every way, look, feel or anything about them. Some like the look of them but can’t stand thinking about anything touching them or eye injuries and stuff like that, but each to their own. Looking back at my youth I can remember always wanting contact lenses so I could have some weird coloured eyes, but I wouldn’t want contacts now because I enjoy wearing glasses.
I actually quite enjoy wearing Glasses, it’s like I can change shooting mode from sharp to softfocus. I always forget that wearing glasses is not the norm, but I don’t think I would ever get eye surgery or contacts or anything because I like my glasses too much. I would enjoy some contacts which did not alter sight though, so I could have little pictures in my eyes to freak people out, like I could have a picture of myself in my eye (if you can order custom contacts) or I could just have like a multicoloured eye and love it forever more. (I like how you can see the reflection of the camera in my pupil)
How I love Frubes. Yogurt without the need of spoon, it is genius! Best of all they don’t have bits, how I loathe bits. Bits are one of my most hated things in this world, in yogurts or juice, I can’t stand them, they make we wretch. I love fresh orange juice but if it has bits it is the worst feeling in your mouth I can imagine, I don’t see how anybody can drink it. I just thought I would see people’s thoughts on bits in juices and yogurts. So please comment.
This has to be the best necklace I have seen in a while. How great would it be? It’s like somebody carrying a picture of somebody around your neck, but the website maintenance is lazy and hasn’t spotted the image is broken! Sadly I cannot find any uk sites selling this, only US so the postage would cost more than the product. Oh well, if anybody would like to thank me for my quality writing then please feel free to buy me this as a gift (ha ha, I joke).
So my new camera arrived today and I could not be happier with it (a few minor issues which I do not care about much at all). So I will just go through he good and the bad for you. But first I will tell you why I chose it over all the other cameras in my price range. What I was looking for was anything better than what I had (a horrible Olympus Camedia D-435 which my Mum bought a few years ago) The Olympus could take a picture, so my family would not buy a new camera if the one they had worked, but of course I have started using it more for blog pictures and its poor quality was beginning to annoy me. I had been after a new camera for a few years but something else I wanted came up around my birthday or Christmas so I never got one. So with my left over Christmas money and money in my bank I decided to buy a decent camera. I set my guide price to £100 and anything up to £150 if I found a really good deal.
There are a lot of good cameras out there in my price range, so I went for a brand I really liked, so I went in Sony’s direction because they have really quality products in the market and I imagine much effort has gone into he deign of their cameras. My first choice was the DSC-W70 which cost £99 from amazons, the W70 is a 7.2 megapixel camera but that is about it. The W80 was around £130 from Amazon which had double anti-blur (which actually works) and face recognition and all those little extras which the D70 didn’t have, I wanted a camera I would be happy with so I went for the W80 and I am very happy with it. So let’s talk about the good:
There is little I can fault in this camera but here are a few things that aggravate me a little bit:
That is about all I have to say really, it is truly a great camera for any point and shoot camera user, great for holidays or taking any general pictures.
