Thanks, Sayoko!

I don’t know why I haven’t really played with this before, but I finally messed around with Photo Booth on my laptop. Creepiness ensued:

A video I can’t seem to embed.

I am paralyzed with indecision.

I really want to make a photo booth, and I really want the term “photo booth” to be loosely interpreted here and not necessarily confined to a big box in which one stands, smiles, and has his photo snapped. It might be something else. It might be a glass elevator.

It might be a peep show (also loosely defined)?

Seriously though, the very thought of thesis, and deadlines, and papers, and research, comes at a strange part in my life, and I’m slowly and steadily beginning to freak out. I want to be in flow, I want to want to make a photo booth and not just want to think about making one, and I want to actually do it already. A (partially) working prototype for the first day of class? Groan.
