What I'm doing...

[MJS]

Call customer service and send the tripod back, I hate busted new stuff.

[swmdrayfan]

Perusing the board, checking out various threads, and contemplating sleep. Also wondering if I'm ever going to 'get it' with my photography. Nothing I do seems to be working right now, and as I go thru everyone else's submissions, all I can do is bang my head against a brick wall. Quite frankly, I'm lost.

I just ate the most orgasmic walnut brownie on Earth.

Oh yeah baby!

[adina]

Contemplating a donut with my latte. Crap morning so far. I don't see my day getting better, either.

Oh well.

I'm looking at the fauxtograpy on www.snopes.com.

[adina]

Cooking. Potato salad and brats for tonight, inlaws will be here. I have to work, so I was going for something dh would just be able to pop on the grill. Mexican lasagna for tomorrow, again, I will be out, inlaws here, so I can make it tonight, they can cook it tomorrow. And some fruit and cake dessert thing, can't remember what it's called, but got the recipe from my gramma.

... copying my 2x200G, 2x250G, and 2x300G disks over to the 2TB NAS
Then I'm going to crash Lightroom by telling it to load everything on the NAS into the
library all in one go

Waiting for Paul's computer to explode

Just got back from my son's EOY concert, kid blows a mean trombone, Symphonic and jazz band sounded fantastic. Finished editing my daughters concert, she was brass player of the year for intermediate middle school band. It's fun in the all tile and hardwood floor house during practice time. The dog hates the trombone and my daughter's cat hates her trumpet. They both run to the middle of the house and try to hide under each other. Pretty funny stuff. Just finished a 19 hour day, I need a shower, bed and some serious sleep.

Catch you all tomorrow, today actually I guess.

I'm compiling a new list of all the Salsa moves that I want to bring out when really dancing.

The courses are relatively easy, you just copy the teacher and the girl knows what's coming too so you don't have to give too much guidance. Out on the dancefloor the man has to decide what to do next, remember the move, guide the girl clearly, avoid the other couples - and look like he's having fun. I stick to the stuff I know well and I try to add other stuff progressively.

My Fuji F10 has been VERY useful. For the last 6 months I've been filming the courses with it - just a 20 second clip of the move at the end of the course. The high-ISO ability of the sensor means that my videos come out really well. I've put them up on my web site so that the others can see - which also means we got a network going between course members.

The videos are very useful for understanding and revision - I've put them on my Smartphone and I revise on the train. But for memorising, nothing beats text and paper, so I'm doing yet another version of my course notes to learn.

Drinking Mountain Dew, Eating M&m's, Writing A Paper, And Studying For My Finals!!! Ahahahaha It's 2:30 Am, College Rocks

Hoping canon's trade up program will work with a current generation camera, and hoping that the trade up program continues (Last year, they had a program that let customers send them an old busted up camera in return for a huge discount on a newer camera)

My 2 week old A570IS is in worse shape than it looks after taking a nasty fall. The LCD wasnt even scratched...still had the protective plastic on it!

Either way, I'm gonna get another A570 IS, even if I have to sell something.


PS. Anyone wanna buy a kidney? I have a spare. (I was planning on buying an underwater housing too)

Eating Raisin Bran while I wait for my new computer to come to life as I install Windows XP.

[Mr Yuck]

Waving goodbye to the cost of a replacement Canon A570IS.

At least the price dropped from $240 to $212.

2 weeks after ordering the first one, the shipped price dropped from $253 to $230 (this time I paid the extra $13 for 2 day shipping)

Sitting here at work, waiting for someone from the Help Desk to call me back. My account is locked, and I can't access anything. Would have been a good day to stay home.

[adina]

Staying home. Mostly. I might leave for coffee. My neighbor had thier baby about a week ago and finally got to come home. They asked yesterday if they could bring him over for some photos. He was early, so tiny tiny.

[MJS]

Spent all yesterday mastering DVD's of the concerts for reproduction and delivery. Have 3 dance recitals and 2 more concerts to shoot, edit, sell and reproduce this week alone. Glad the school year is coming to an end. Actually going to try and be lights out by 11 tonight instead of 1:30 AM like this morning. Wouldn't have been so bad were it not for the 5 AM daily wake up.

How do you take your coffee Adina? I'm a large, sorry, Venti, strong brew with a little room for cream and the pink stuff. I can't even repeat a multi syllable concoction in the morning, never mind drink one.

[adina]

nonfat vanilla latte. 16 oz usually, because that's the size of my travel mug. I was out once with my girls and I said "hey I'm just going to stop here and get a cup of coffee quick" So my oldest says "mom, I thought you didn't prefer coffee" And my youngest says "she doesn't. she prefers a nonfat banilla latte"

did I mention we have a good time when we are out? they are just soo funny, just their regular conversations sometimes strike me as laugh out loud funny.

[almo]

Eating sunflower seeds, and looking up the definition of 'pimento'.

[Skyman]

waiting for time to die so i can leave work for today. trying to work out how to position a gradient in illustrator so i can make a river on a new logo.

[almo]

Interestingly enough, I found out that a pimento is just a bit of red bell pepper.

I feel cheated.

[almo]

Hey, you're going to beat me to 4000 aren't you.

Oh yeah baby!

[walterick]

Of course, the only correct answer to this thread is "posting in this thread." But it's okay you all won't get banned for lying

[adina]

I just dropped my dog off for an overnight to the vet. The poor thing is having her girl parts removed today. Then I have to shower and go to work, and I might go to the bookstore.

[SmartWombat]

Fixing the **** commissions system again.
But at least I get to shoot some motorsport this weekend.
