Got my iPhone replaced today, but this shot was still taken with my old Samsung flip phone in the morning. With better image quality, this would have made a nice calligraphic piece. Hopefully, things will be back to normal tomorrow - I mean the photo quality, of course.
My regular iPhone camera continued to show signs of problems (magenta discolouration, shutter freeze) so I took a shot of this morning's dump on my old Samsung flip phone. The quality, as you can imagine, wasn't very good. And that applied to the shit as well. But you may notice that the shape is a bit like the intestines (or a happy clown face, with some vivid imagination).
When was the last time you had a dump without making a big mess? Since this was one of those rare occasions for me, I decided to upload not one, but two photos.
Today is World Toilet Day and the World Toilet Organisation has teamed up with Domestos to create the Flush Tracker, a site that shows your poop's progress from the toilet to the sewer to its final destination on Google Map. So, like everything else social these days, you can soon follow your shit (although Flush Tracker currently works only in a few locations). I wonder where the pile below will end up, but I sure hope it won't tweet when it has checked in.
I thought "decorating" the dump with toilet paper is a natural thing, as long as the paper doesn't obstruct the main subject matter. So I lined today's contributions with some 3-ply recycled stuff. The result was pretty good, although I must admit that one wrong toss will probably ruin the shot.
Perhaps I should create a stock market-like chart to track the firmness of the shit and you can use technical analysis to predict the condition of the next delivery.
Hopes of a more concrete dump were dashed this morning by mushy stools with ragged edges. Incidentally, the photo was taken using the Korean camera app as it seemed to be working fine again.
The Korean camera app seemed to conflict with the built-in camera app, so today's shot was taken with the latter. Is this an early sign to raise the threat level to "constipation" tomorrow?
This morning's dump seemed to be a cross between Type 4 and Type 5. It's snake-like, soft, but with fluffy edges. So I'm not really sure how to classify it based on the Bristol Stool Chart.
This morning's dump was done a hurry so I didn't have my usual camera with me. Instead, I took these with my old Nokia Communicator (was reading an e-book with it). But the quality (of the photo, not the shit) was worse than I thought.
This morning's dump feels good again. It was, however, hard to focus the camera when the shit is not near the water surface. And you can't use flash or go too near for a macro shot (at least you won't want to anyway). I'll have to dig up some photography tricks for this. Any suggestions?
But alas! The second delivery was almost like an avalanche.
And here's another with a strategically placed paper:
But the second dump turned soft. Compare:
Was it because of anything I ate in between? Breakfast of coffee and bread?
