I am baking cake right now. This lovely chocolate cake (but with substitutions: balsamic vinegar in place of white vinegar and melted butter in place of oil). Seeing (smelling) as how the cake has turned my apartment into a den of chocolate-scented bliss, it doesn't even matter if the cake turns out. Its work here is done.
Though I've been neglecting my own site (to the extent of forgetting to renew my domain, hence this weekend's outage), I still read a lot of blogs. Some of them are connected in mysterious ways. I've seen announcements for the same birth popping up all over in places I never would have expected.
I have been trying to acquire a wide angle zoom lens (trials, tribulations). My requirements are apparently too stringent. I insist that the lens be capable of focussing. Out-of-focus shots resulting from photographer error I can accept, and do rather more often than I'd like, but the lens ought to have better optical properties than I do. I've already exchanged this lens once and tomorrow I'm shipping the replacement back to the shop. Will the third time be the charm? Eh. I think I'll put this project on hold for a while.
