Hrm,

You'd think that with all of the free time on my hands I'd at least post to this a little bit more often. Nope!

But in the mean time, here's a shot from the cottage last week:

To be fair...

...I did warn that some of these would come without a real explanation.




I really oughta move.

Fail, continued!

Alright so I'm looking into getting this blog's name changed from "Every Day Through A Lens" to "Every 30-60 Days or so Through A Lens When Ben Has Free Time Or Something To Talk About". Let me know how that title works for you.

Anyways, I've spent most of the last week in Montreal and Toronto, which was fantastic. I hadn't left Ottawa in over a year until this last week. I even got to see PETERBOROUGH. Imagine that!

I'm now officially torn between either moving to Toronto or Montreal. Both have some pretty great job prospects and sweet people.

I guess it comes down to:

Montreal



or Toronto:





Cast your ballots today!

Told You So.

Alrighty so I guess one blog every three weeks is closer to one a day than a couple of months? I'm great at this.

Anyways, I don't have much to say, but Kristal has been pestering me to post a photo of her on my blog. "Make me famous Ben! You're so popular and you're pretty much my idol!" I know, I know. Well here you go Kristal, you owe me big time.




Glad I could snag such a flattering shot of you.

Failure

I basically didn't even make it through one week of doing this every day. Oops. I actually didn't think anyone would notice, but people have threatened to end their friendships with me if I don't keep this thing up, so this is all for them. I'm so selfless that this blog will include TWO (2) photos. Anyways, I know how my lack of posting has the potential to send ripples of sadness through the blogging community, so I'd better keep this up.

Yesterday was my birthday so we had a party. I brought my camera and took maybe a total of 4 shots, one of which actually turned out well:




You probably squinted a little bit and thought to yourself: "one of those cupcakes sure looks like there's a tampon in it". And you would be right. Some other cupcake design winners: zombies, robots, "a fucking tit", and my name. Other gifts included more cupcakes, a little music box, and a very large knife that I almost stabbed my eye out with while trying to hold it while playing with said music box. Thank you to my friends who suggested I put the knife away before I hurt myself. You were right.

This is the only shot of me from the night, which I found in my shirt pocket this morning:





More to come, I promise*!




*Not an actual promise.

Hangover Averted

I didn't think that I'd manage to fail at doing one of these a day already, but in my drunk stupor last night after the No Bunny show, I decided that my highest priority was to drink more water than I thought humanly possible, and pass out in bed.

In an attempt to reconcile my forgetfulness, I'll try to re-create what I would have probably typed around 2:30am last night after the show:

"WHOA holy shit, don't even know. Wicked show holy shti tonight, fuck my head hruts. NO BUNNY. Sleeepppppppp!"

Head Brain Ow

I had been saving up my last awesome pain killer from getting my wisdom teeth out in case of getting a really bad migraine.

This was the last I saw of it:




Actually that's not true. First I cut it into four and then choked on one of the tiny pieces, because I apparently have no idea how to swallow pills properly. Oops.

Either way, my head still hurts. Goddamnit.

Culinary Breakthroughs

I suppose today was one of those days where you almost feel ripped off with how little you made out of it. When you really have nothing to show for having gotten out of bed other than maybe some finished school work, and spending your free time on the internet or searching feverishly for your magic card collection (not me...). Then you start to panic a little bit, I mean think of how many days just like these ones you've had before, where you had enough free time to really make something of your day, but opted to watch the almost an entire season of Battlestar Galactica (again, not me...obviously). How you could have spent all of that time planning a trip, or looking for work for after you graduate, or hanging out with friends.

And you start to get a little stir crazy and feel like you need to get out of the house, but where would you go? What would you do? Who would you see? The day is almost over, there isn't much time to salvage what's left of the day, the sheer number of opportunities that a single day presents should be totally staggering, but what have I done with mine?? What have I proven to myself????

...

But then a stroke of genius sweeps over you and suddenly it all becomes very clear, and only one question really becomes important while everything else begins to pale in comparison...

How would one combine a grilled cheese sandwich with both chicken and bacon?


















Day two.

Overall success, I'd say.

Monday night decisions.

So I figure that I'd like to keep a little something to remember each day by, and I'd also like a good excuse to use my camera more often. My solution is to (do my best to) take (at least) one photo every day that will be reflective of what I was thinking of, what I was up to, where I had gone, who I had seen, etc.

Due to my lack of actual motivation, this is probably going to come out in the form of photos of things that are inside my apartment/bedroom, and don't involve me having to actually get any form of exercise/fresh air. These will most likely also be put off all day and will be photos of things that I thought were interesting while either A: Exhausted at three in the morning, B: Drunk, C: Exhausted and drunk at three in the morning. I have more or less no idea how this going to go, but I guess we're about to find out.

Anyways, here's day one:

















Still deciding...
