Tumblr?

I've been neglecting my camera lately. I've only touched it a few times since moving back to Victoria, and that makes me a little sad. Victoria is really quite a pretty place, and there are plenty of places I could take my camera. I'm going to try to start taking more photos, and I started today.
One of my favorite things about living in Victoria is that I'm so close to the water. In North Van I live "close" to the ocean, but here I'm really close. There are a handful of beaches nearby, and I love it. While Cadboro Bay is still my favorite place in Victoria, I'm going to try to find a few other beach-type areas. Today I walked off the end of Gordon Head road and followed a little path towards the water. While it didn't lead to a beach, it opened up to a grassy rock place that overlooked the ocean. It was dead quiet, except the sound of a few birds and the waves. It was really peaceful. It was kind of cold and awkward lighting (I'm still not used to it getting dark so early) so I didn't get very many pictures, and the ones I did get weren't very good (I didn't set up my tripod). I edited them (quite a bit), and I think they look alright. Here they are:

There's actually quite a drop off before the ocean here.

Also, I am not exactly proud of this, but I have joined yet another popular internet social-network-type-thing. Yep, I got tumblr (she said, slightly ashamed). I got it so I can micro-blog and share single photos/songs/other peoples gifs and pictures that I enjoy. I'm going to see how it goes. So yeah... that's a thing. If you're interested, check it out at www.zoe-click.tumblr.com Cheers!

P.S. It's my mom's birthday today. She's pretty great. Happy birthday mumsie!

Twitter-twat.

So, I know that I've already mentioned the increasing number of blogs, twitters, tumblrs, etc that seem to be popping up all over the place. In addition to the fact that just about everyone has both a facebook page and at least one e-mail address, it seems like every person alive and over the age of 10 is online. Of course, I am among the guilty. These things don't really bother me, EXCEPT....
Twitter. I was thinking about it a few days ago and it is really just about the most self-absorbed thing ever. "Tweeting" every few minutes I'm eating a sandwich, I love sandwiches!, watching a moviee, etc... really? It's essentially the same as updating your facebook status multiple times a day and hoping that people will be so enthralled in your life that they will find themselves drawn to you, making you famous (...virtually)! Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't get this whole twitter-craze.








Having hated on twitter, I don't have a problem with tumblr, or tumblr-ee's (?), as long as it isn't "lyfeee omg." Not gunna lie, I even enjoy looking at some of my friends tumblr's from time to time.

..but MAN, did I laugh when I saw this picture (on someone's tumblr... ironic?)
