What Have I Been Up To!
Online activity has dwindled a bit, and has been reduced to looking at YouTube videos, cleaning out my Google Reader and reblogging Things That Make Me Cry. My Macbook Pro’s in the laptop hospital, see. It’s been there for the past few days, maybe a week now? But I’m just glad that it started having problems while it was still under warranty, and not after it had expired. That’s some stroke of luck, at least, isn’t it?
Anyway, so things I have been up to:

Trying to get back into film photography!
This is the FM-2 I used in high school. I remember close to nothing about using it.
That’s kind of sad, but the important thing is that I am determined.

Tried Perfect Binding!
Success, mostly. I have two new blank journals right now. I will not sell them,
because they look really handmade, but I understand the binding process more now, so yay.
More photos of the journals and the process (sort of) under the cut, if that interests you at all.

Re-reading Harry Potter in between everything!
I finished “Chamber of Secrets” today, which is exciting, because “Prisoner of Azkaban” is my favorite.

Getting the most mileage out of this fantastic cup.
This is currently my favorite cup and has aided me in keeping hydrated.
It’s by Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, featuring a double-walled ceramic body and a silicone cover.
I’ve since used it for coffee, water, hot chocolate, tea lattes. I’m thinking of using it for soup next.
In other news, I have been employed. (!) I will talk about it more in the next post, although I haven’t exactly really been working-working yet. (I start on Monday.) Still, it’s pretty exciting.
In other other news, my mother has been admitted to the hospital and has been there for the past three days. I think she’s on the mend now, so thanks to everyone who has shared a thought and a prayer for her. It really means a lot.

Back of the journals.

Heavy books on the journal paper while the glue on the spine dries!

Pretty tape I used to keep the cover attached to the paper. Hahaha.

From the side. I used corrugated board (LOL) for one of them. I kinda like it.

Goodjob on the binding! I love homemade/custom binding :D
Oh oh oh! I wish I had your DIY skillz =( I wanna bind stuff, even stuff that don’t belong to me!!!
I just want to say that I super super love your new layout for nothingspaces. :)
Camille Z, thanks! Trying to figure out how to be better at it. :)
Helga, right?! I decided to try it out with blank paper first. And, thank goodness, it worked!
Aziel, thank you so much, that means a lot to me. :D
Hi! :) Nice job on the binding, and I love that you used corrugated board on the other one. It’s so nostalgic of grocery trips and tetra packs. ♥ I’m attempting binding some blank paper as well, but I wasn’t sure what to use for the cover. Good thing I found this on your blog. :) Thanks, Carina. You’re really inspiring!
Jenine, thank you! I think you should go right ahead and do it. :)
