I just went outside for maybe five minutes to try to take photos, because the sky was an unusual yellow color. The shots looked great in the viewfinder. The flash came on autoidiotically and ruined them all. I tried to turn off the flash, but the best I could do was switch from "automatic mode" to "scene mode" using the "Night Landscape" scene. But this had a long exposure time, and I couldn't hold the camera still enough, so those shots came out blurry. Either the long exposure time or the flash ruined every picture I took, save one, which might have come out okay.

While taking pictures didn't go so well, I was much more successful at getting bitten by mosquitoes. In those five minutes I was out there, I got five mosquito bites. Two on each leg and one on my left arm.

I hate life.
