No water bottles ... been trying to learn still-lifes with a homemade lightbox. It's kickin' my arse, this lighting stuff. :/ In-camera white balance is annoying to configure. And I need a taller table, this hunching over thing is killing my back, which makes me feel like this:

Standard single, dual-wield I don't like purple or green that much, otherwise don't care. Dark, but Light is easier on the eyes... Atton/Disciple toss up, T3 runner up because he's so cute. The jungle looking one 8/10, mostly because of the unsatisfying ending

@ Sand - August huh? Well, it's usually clear and warm then, so maybe so. That'd be cool. Maybe I'll have a bigger lens or two by then.

Poseidan - as bad as I'd heard, although not so bad I couldn't sit through it to mock it along the way. Wolfgang...I'm disappointed in thee. I've never seen the original one all the way through, but comparing what I have seen to the new one...they're both equally boring. Although there was one bit toward the end of the new one that I wasn't expecting.

I really like Gorth's #3...

Well, I missed it. It was partly sunny most of the day then clouded up by evening. Thus I had to rely on photo forums to get my "look." Of course someone had to do one of these:

Yeah, the photog forums are all abuzz with that... If I had a good telephoto I'd try to take a picture, assuming it wasn't cloudy. It's been rainy of and all week. If it's not cloudy tonight, I could try anyway...hehe. Wish we had the telescope properly set up for the camera.

Excellent series, IMO. His Mordant's Need 2-book novel/series is pretty good too.

I Ran - Flock of Over-Teased-Bad-Hair Dudes (Seagulls...)

Pale Rider. I've always liked this movie for some reason. Going to the zoo, then will watch Full Metal Jacket, which I recorded last night. Unless I try watching Poseidon on HD-HBO. I heard it's terrible but I'm curious.

I find my cable co.'s hard drive recording capability more than adequate to get around that. No extra charge for it beyond the cable fees, of course. Although recording hi-def does hog up the HD space a lot more and I usually delete those at the end of the week.

Something the Lord Made, HBO movie from a few years ago or so. Alan Rickman was great, as always, but Mos Def makes the bigger impression. Not a bad cable movie.

Closed by request. I believe this is the other thread referred to.

Walsh, that was a really funny post. :D If the battery is wearing down that fast, especially if you're barely using the phone during that time, then yeah, I'd try another battery before giving up on the phone entirely. I don't know much about cells, but maybe it's possible some feature you like to use a lot sucks up more juice than average, too? I've been irritated via camera battery for the same reason. Charges fast and can last reasonably long if all I do is click the shutter, but use the tiny built-in flash 20 times or view the LCD screen too much and it's gone very rapidly. I have 2 spares with me at all times.

I know I said I'd add them all on Monday; changed my mind. I've been having so much fun w/the new lens, I think I'll just post them as I get them. Which means there might be more than one for each thing on that 'list' up there. List, flist, who's counting...they're both less thn Plum trees in blossom. Colorful, if not very exciting, but it's...y'know...trees. 130kb I tried to take some of an abadonded farm area shack on the way home today, but they came out really boring, so instead I'll post this one, because I like it. Honey bee on flower - 70kb

Dead Zone/Stephen King. I'm so pedestrian re: books. :D

I'm trying a new sig pic. It's a tad less tall but a bit longer...it's from a picture of a farm area that I drove by earlier today. For some reason I liked it, with the truck and houses in the background.

I wonder what it would look like on our 50" TV?

I don't remember exactly, but probably the longest was around 30-40 hours, w/occasional bathroom and mt dew breaks. I don't remember eating much over that time, but I probably had a small sandwich or something. I know I've had marathons with Diablo2, and probably some early single-player games...like DungeonKeeper and Baldurs Gate1. During the most manic gaming phase, it was probably more average for me to game 6-8 hours every day, sometimes up to 10. That doesn't happen too much anymore.

Interesting. I may check that out tomorrow just to have a looksee. I wonder if the image file itself can be accessed in the folders somewhere...ach, too tired to look this second.

lol...yes, I believe it is. Probably not as much as one might initialy think, but definitely not cheap.

I thought I had already stated that it's likely, and does, harm the message's ability to be heard, because of how humans - including myself - percieve these situations. It doesn't mean I can't think it's a shame that this is so. Unless I'm misreading, I sense a bit of animosity here - which I find a little surprising. Usually my occasional and generalistic statements are ignored for being/seeming irrelevant to the debate, probably rightly so. :D *shrug* It is true, however, that I very rarely involve myself in political or religious debates, here or anywhere else for that matter - there's no arguing that, nor would I want to. This is mostly because I don't enjoy such debates - I find them depressing more than invigorating and thus, for someone who battles depression, usually something to avoid - but also partly because I'm usually not informed enough to make any relevant contributions. Sometimes I'm in the mood to say something, sometimes not - and when I do, it's usually more of a general nature than specific. So if the fact I don't feel a desire or have the energy to parrot "all humans are hypocrites sometimes" in every thread where it might relate, makes me a hypocrite, well, I don't know if I'd agree with it, but I can understand why one might think so. Yes, yes, I am. As a friend of mine once said - "there's many things about our society that I loathe, while also being aware I'm part of the problem."

I like the purple mountain majestic pic. :D

Oh, I wasn't feeling slighted. It's just an interesting topic to me. I've been jabbering away at my hubby about it the past week; how there's so many photos and so many amateuer photographers that it's diluting the appreciation of the artform. Not that I have any hooty-tooty attitude about it, really - people have said that about other hobbies all through history - but I think it is occuring. For me it's not so much only the results itself, but knowing how much work goes into some of them is what really makes me admire. So a picture of a penny might be kind of boring, but when I know they use rigs like the one below, or even more extravagant, + all the patience required, the boring suddenly becomes really...cool, and I go "I want to do that."

I don't like hypocrisy, but imo one can take the hypocrisy bludgeoning stick a little too far sometimes. I've yet to meet anyone who couldn't be called a hypocrite in some area/fashion or another - including myself.
