I might never have to do English again, but somehow the drilling of what an alliteration is sticks with you. Hence the title.

So my great plan to get underway (at least on DA) is sort of failing. Not only do I have limited opportunities to take photos, but I never have my camera when I want it. Typical.

One thing I did want to do was do a photo shoot of my cat. In writing, that looks bizarre (Photo shoot? Cat?), but it seemed to make perfect sense to me. Sadly, she died yesterday before I got a chance. I suppose I should have known better - she was going more senile by the day. But because I've had her since before I can remember, I've sort of taken it for granted that she'd always be there.

I don't know if a cat can be photogenic, but she was never intimidated/crazily curious when a camera was shoved in her face. In the last month I'd seen the two most loveliest photo opportunities, but by the time I ran and got the camera, she'd wandered away somewhere. I've got a couple of random shots of her but the quality isn't very good - I might submit one if I ever feel like it.

More over, I keep seeing these really awesome potential shots while sitting on the train on the way home in the evenings. Of course, even if I DID have my camera (and I'm really hesitant to take it to uni... will never know what will happen) it would be near impossible to take anything - the train is moving too fast, and I've learnt that taking photos out of windows - unless it's intentional - never works out well.

Meanwhile, my city is getting more and more chaotic with next week's Commonwealth Games, but perhaps there's a few hidden gems in there. I'm going to a few of the events, so we'll see. Plus, this is the only time I'll be able to walk around the city with a camera without the fear of looking like a tourist - because chances are, everyone around me will be!

In the meantime, I'm off to bed - I've heard it's a good cure of being sleep-deprived, as I am. Leaving the house every day before 7am and getting home after 8pm is taking its toll.
