Great idea tonight: going out in Paris to make a few night pictures. Nevermind that half of them are blurred, because the whole point of a digital camera is shooting everything three times. What’s more of a problem is I was that close to having both of my thumbs amputated. Which wouldn’t be convenient for photography (or for many other things: thumbs are important to press the Space key). Do you think someone would have warned me it was—literally—freezing tonight?

The pictures are not ready for publication yet, they need some editing. And I’m not sure I’ll be able to make much of them anyway: G3 reviews showed that the 400 ISO mode was hardly usable at all because of the noise levels, and I must say I do understand why the automatic mode never goes into 400, even if it implies more motion blurs. Anyhow, I’m not in the mood for Photoshopping tonight. I think I’m more interested in my libido these days. And then, I need to make some room on my hard disk. It’s the first time in a year I’m using my CD burner; first time ever I can reach the old drive’s 6x speed (which I could never use on my former computer); first time in months I have more than 600MB free on my drive. I still have exactly ten CDs to burn. Times two, because I’m completely paranoid about my data. I hate spending hours watching the Nero progress indicator move…
