So a couple weekends ago, while staying with my friend and soon-to-be roommate in London, I got to try my hand at the wonderfully imprecise art of lomography.  I suppose this lo-fi photography is naturally my next step to hipster-dom, following my love and collection of LPs.

The Lomography Store at Carnaby Street does these group projects called ‘Lomomissions’, where, for an entry fee, you get a free roll of film, the opportunity to borrow a lomography camera, and go around London with a group of equally-excited lomographers on a specific subject mission.  The one we went on focused on looking at London from a tourist’s perspective.  It was great getting the opportunity to try different film cameras.  Ever since getting my nice digital 5 years ago, I’ve abandoned film.  And now that my nice digital has died an unexplained death, I may have to fork out money for a lomography L-CA or a Holga.  I’ve got a few pictures here, but the rest of the decent pictures are on my lomohome.

In other news- Albums that I have finally went and purchased:

She & Him, Volumes 1 & 2

Neko Case, Middle Tornado

The new She & Him is as low-key and lovely as the first, while my love-affair with Neko Case’s music is undying.

In the few months that I’ve been living in the English Countryside (excluding the two months I was back in America), the only real problem I’ve encountered is the constant poor internet connection. Right now I’m sitting in a pub with my boyfriend at 4 in the afternoon on a saturday purely for the use of their wifi. Job hunting in this modern age, when you don’t yet live in the area you’re looking to work, is utterly impossible without internet. Perhaps that’s why people were so much less mobile before the advent of internet job sites? Unless you got transferred or knew somebody who knew someone you rarely left a place with a job already waiting for you in the new place. Though, to be honest, it’s unlikely I’ll have a job waiting for me when my boyfriend and I finally move to a tiny rental somewhere in London. And it will likely be the depressingly new Docklands. Which I’ve never been to. And am expecting to hate.
So who in London wants to give me a job?
