Day 2 – starlight*

Day 2 - starlight

Since the 7 Days theme for Day 2 is LIGHT, I decided to play with the Color Flashlight app on my phone. It does all kinds of trippy things like strobe light, police light, disco, even a photo of a flickering lighter for holding up at concerts. For this photo, I used the rainbow effect and a slow shutter speed. I drew a star because stars are one of my favorite things to doodle, in any medium.

You can just see that I’m wearing my TeeFury WHOVIAN t-shirt. That’s the one that I accidentally ordered two of, thanks to a glitch with the first order. Rather than returning it, I decided that was the universe’s way of telling me that it wanted Bonnie to have a WHOVIAN t-shirt, too. And she wore it to Disneyland on her birthday and it got her a free extra ride on Star Tours thanks to the Time Lord in disguise who was working there.

Can anyone tell where in my house I’m sitting? Clues: this location has featured in one of Annalie’s 7 Days photos before. It’s one of the darkest spots in our house during daytime, and a rather unique thing to find in a residential home.

*Suggested music for reading this post: “Starlight” by Muse. Coincidentally, Bonnie introduced me to this song when she gave me a mix CD a while back. This has been a very Bonnie-tastic post.

Day 2 – BLACK keys only

June 19th, 2011

The Day 2 theme for 7 Days is BLACK. So I played a song on the black keys only. “Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater” is one of the very first songs I learned how to play on the piano, even before I started taking lessons. My older cousins taught me on the piano at their house.

And here is Annalie, in the BLACK phonebooth.

Brenda got to go to Lilith Fair recently to review the concert and the fancy-schmancy bathrooms. Yes, really! It’s amazing what kinds of opportunities blogging can bring a person…and her readers, because she has a $100 Visa gift card to give away! I can’t win it myself, since I’m Brenda’s friend and unofficial blog editor, but if you’d like a chance to win, just go read her excellent review and leave a comment!
