It's been one week since I dusted off this little profile of mine. It has given me the chance to go back through past projects. For the most part, doing this has made me realize that I have, let's say, matured creatively... if that's possible.

The scanning of the contact prints was a bit of a flop, sadly. Not only because they aren't that big to begin with, but I guess that being black and white pics doesn't help much either. Ah, the agony. However, some did turn out... decent. And, if all that fails, I have the big ones, which scanned marvelously. So, I'll be uploading photos in a not so distant future. I'll try and see if I can patch up the tiny ones, because there are some that make me grin from ear to ear due to the memories they bring back... and because they're good (at least for my standards). Last year was the first time ever I took photos with all the fancy schmancy makings of the f-stop and shutter speed, which was both overwhelming and thrilling. But I digress.

So, the photos are on the go. What else? I'll keep uploading stories while they're still on stock. I'm pretty sure that I will translate them. Not because it would be easier for me to write them in English. Now that I think of it, either way would be the same. I'm a bit (and by 'a bit', I mean 'a constant') Spanglish speaker, so sometimes the word I'm thinking about will pop into my head in the wrong language. But... yeah. Stories are headed your way.

Not sure who's way that is. I get the feeling that perhaps all this rambling is just a written soliloquy on my behalf. But oh well. At least it keeps my mind busy.

Actually, that is not quite true. I've got plenty of photographs: only problem is most of them are on contact prints. I have about 10 pictures on letter size paper, which is good, don't get me wrong, but I'm a bit concerned about the quality the tiny ones will have if I decide to scan them all to upload here. It might turn out to be a bit of a hassle (curse you, photo gods!). Then again, I do have some photos I'm quite proud of, so I'll probably scan just those if I get a bit lazy.

On another note, I'm considering translating the stories I've uploaded so far. To be honest, I would have been more comfortable writing them in English, but they were assignments for college, so that was out of the question. This is something else I'll have to ponder.

So... yeah. Stay tuned to see how this turns out.

P.S. Def Leppard for the win!

Well, clearly I paid no attention to Simple Minds and I forgot about my profile here at the gathering place of all deviant cyber citizens. Then again, I had just uploaded one thing: one upload in the past two years. Shame, shame.

I believe I will upload several, if not all, past college projects of the past two years. These have been filled with new experiences and I've been able to let my imagination run wild and free (to a certain degree). So, shorts stories and photos are possibly coming your way in a not so distant future.

This being my first journal, I'm not quite sure what else to write. So I'll either a) start interacting with an imaginary person through here ("how about this crazy weather, huh?") or b) end it in a semi abrupt way. I'm quite sure I'll go with the latter one.
