It came!! It came!!! It came!!!!
This was my birthday present from my parents...an analogue camera well known in the lomography world of photography. I have been wanting to get into a new type of photography because I am tied of this digital world and instant satisfaction. I feel for myself I need to get back to basics for good photos, and so I have chosen this Diana Mini 35mm film camera. I love it and can not wait to get the photos developed!!

Today was Chinese New Year...so HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
~ We played this game where you were to bet on the new year animal which you thought the dice would end up as...there were 3 dice if your animal chosen was one of the dice then you received the amount you put down...if 2 dice were the animal you bet you doubled your money and if all 3 dice were your animal then you win 3x the amount you placed...we played with quarters, but at one point in the game dollar bills were being thrown down, so needless to say the game got pretty intense :)
