Well... camera control sucks...

my lovely smartphone (water proof, scratch proof, virtually child proof)... recently updated from old android to new android.  and during the update, i lost the ability to automatically control my camera's flash settings.  i mean, the control is still there... but if you try to use it, it yells at you and says "nope, you cannot use this anymore, we're smarter than you!".

the downside to this is that my apartment has somewhat minimal lighting (my kinect yells at me about it all the time too... but the wiring is crappy, and bulbs are expensive, and when they burn out within 10 minutes of being put in, you eventually stop buying them) -- especially in my son's room. (his eyes are super sensitive to light, because of the lack of pigment in them... yeah, i'll blog about that in some post some day.)  and the only mirror that would work for the picture i was attempting to take was... in my son's room!

anyway, starting over weight - 257.5 pounds.  starting over picture below.
