it was a good day today, followed by one of the most horrible evenings i've ever had in my life.
earlier today though, i went with my roomate kieron for a walk down the laines of brighton, on our way to the open market for some fresh vegetables. we saw a plywood house that was a camera obscura.. and we got organic ginger beers and checked out the camera. inside.. there was a lens, with a wheel you could spin to face the camera/lens a certain way, and then using little discs you could get the imagery of people walking down the street, live, into focus. amazing.
i want to build one in our backyard and be a peeping tom. ha.
then we got to the open market after awhile's walk, and i got oranges for 60p and he got tons of veggies and a bit of ginger for about a pound.
then we just bummed around a few charity shops on our way home. went by sainsburys and bought more jamaican ginger beer. ginger beer is soooo much better than ginger ale. i was talking to a friend in iraq and he told me that ginger ale was supposed to be like ginger beer but it went terribly wrong. i agree.
tonight i'm watching the top 100 sexiest people with some girl friends, and it's been a pretty good day, except a heartbreaking email i received. it was the worst. but i will jsut be selfish for awhile and everything should turn out alright.
ps if you wanna learn more about camera obscura. click the first pic.

the other pics are of a really tall church in the middle of town, you can see the tiny seats at the bottom of the pic, and also the street musicians on stilts. i felt like i was at a carnival today.
also old buildings & ribbons at the open market.
