Good enough to defeat bad photographers :)
Sounds like my cat… I can never get a good pic of him either :(

This seems like this has been trend for sometime among the youth here in urban Southern California but um…what's the deal with when someone calls your name or asks them a question, the response is, "What happened?" - Actually, that's the stock response for ANY question if the other person didn't hear you.
For instance:
Me, the teacher: "Jack is your worked finished?"
Jack: "What happened?"
-OR-
Me, the teacher: "Isabelle your missing pages out of Unit 7 in your economics packet"
Isabelle: "What happened?"
Its pretty interestinng when some of our teachers pick up that habit too.

Although I'm going into El Camino this year, hopefully this phase hasn't spread there. Hopefully it's just a phase.

so there I was, walking back from the bx (base exchange) when an f22's takes off. well it was cool…then I heard another one…so I flipped on my camera…well it got ready too late…then I hear another rev up. so I point my camera and shoot. took a second one as well. when I got back to my room I wanted to look at the pictures.but the f22's weren't in any of the photos
Jets flying are very hard to get a picture of, unless the camera is already up and you lead the plane as if you were gonna shoot it down. I used to get buzzed a lot when I was in the field. An F-16 or A-10 in a mock bombing run is a neat picture. Like I'm gonna shoot one down with that fifty cal on the cupola. ;)
John Lennon is dead.
So is George Harrison.
And Mitch Hedberg.
And debatably Paul McCartney.
Oh yeah, and I hardly have any family left. But I hated them all anyways. A**holes.
I live in a 9-month-winter, mosquito-ridden, god-forsaken, white trash city.
And my dad found my pipe. Yikes, that was awkward.
Stuff sucks.
John Lennon is dead.You should move in with me. We could live so happy and free!

Extremely hard to hit the plane at all though. :(

Likely he didn't have a fast enough shutter speed too. You can lead the plane all you want, but unless your shutter speed is right and you're using a high enough ISO film you aren't likely to come out with anything more than a funny looking blur. It takes a lot of practice to get anything moving fast. I learned that trying to get some photo reference of cars for a short story I wanted to do.
And as long as we're on cameras, my trusty old Minolta XG-A just bit the big one. It's got a nasty light leak which will cost me $120 to repair. The only thing is, I can buy another camera body and two lenses ( Which I don't need any more lenses. ) for that much. Problem being with either route, the closest place to buy or repair my camera is in Chicago, almost 200 miles away.
I could, but this is a 30 year old camera we're talking about. Not only does the company who made it not exist any more, but it's incredibly hard to check the quality of a used camera over the internet and a lot of times they seem to conveniently forget little details like the leather wrapping falling off or the shutter needing major adjustment, which means it still has to be taken in to a repair shop. The last camera I bought to supplement my XG-A, I ended up having to get rid of almost as soon as I got it because it was in such crappy shape. There are places to buy old film cameras here, but they're exorbitantly expensive. About 1.5 times more expensive than anywhere else on average.
It's mostly that I'm on a tiny budget and I don't like the idea of buying a 30 year old camera, which is expensive to repair, without being able to see if it's in usable condition.
One of my comp's is doing that :(
I suspect it is the new ram though, rather than the motherboard. I'll take it out and see if that helps. STill… that's wasted ram I can't use anywhere else now. Grr! Could be the Motherboard though. That damn comp has gone through one already, 2 power systems, and two video cards… And one processor fan!
Ugh… I think I'll just get a laptop for my bedroom PC… It's not like a I the power of a desktop there.

512 to play video!!!
in respects for everyone talking about the f22 moving fast, it was moving realitivly slow as it was on take off. also I adjusted ahead for slow shutter speed and all.
also, I was in hennasy bar on fremont st. (the orignal casino street in vegas) and this three person band was playing. spectacular by the way. the guitarist looked like wayne from static x. when they gave their names when they were playing he said one name. but when I was talking to him on one of their breaks, he introduced himself as wayne. coincidence???????
John Lennon is dead.
So is George Harrison.

Apparently so is Ringo Starr, according to Marvel:
A Sad Link
This is the sort of thing they are writing these days! huh!?
:whistling: "You say you want a Skrull Invasion/ Well, you know/ We all want to invade the world"

Or maybe he's also a Skrull!
okay time for me to rant with my own material. My wrist is killing me, and I'm only a quarter done with my next comic and it is horribly stuffy in my workroom! Drawing with the brace on is cumbersome and the callous on my middle finger from drawing is throbbing and has turned red, I daresay it's becoming a blister, so it's being cushioned with a Hello-Kitty bandaid (if I gotta have a bandaid it may as well be a cute one) and a wad of cotton because the work must go on! (Except for this rant break to relieve my hand for a bit!) Warm weather is a mixed blessing because whilst I loathe the cold, my wrist hurts the most in the summer, which is when it started hurting to begin with and if I knew what the problem was I'd probably feel better about it. It sucks to be in pain and not know why (and we spent a fair deal of money to find out nothing about it)And on the rare occasion I bring it up, people dismiss me as "making excuses so no one criticizes" my art! I have excuses for why my comic is late, but never for why the art is weak. And I found out my digital coloring methods kinda suck lately too, I think it's because I'm starting to enjoy markers more and becoming disenchanted with digital methods. I'm also getting coloring envy!
I want to play with my ferret, but I can't trust him not to poop on my stuff! The other ferret is litter-trained, but this one seems downright determined to go wherever he pleases. He also doesn't believe in gravity. How can he be a proper minion if he can't even perch on my shoulder? Again, the other one does, but that's because she's smart too. And stinks less! (but they're both equally cute)
As for computer stuff, we are in debt because we helped out a guy to get rid of one of his computers while he was moving away and he promised us 4 gigs (which is what sold us on it because I needed a new work computer) and then held out on 2 of them. My current computer has 2, it defeated the point of us buying this computer when we had to borrow money from our parents to buy it! We've been eating ramen noodles for dinner, for goodness sakes! He said he'd order us some more, but why not order them for himself and give us the ones he promised? It's so frustrating!
And that's it(but not all I have)for now. Venting about the petty stuff kinda lets me forget the bigger stuff.
If it's a Windows machine, and it's a normal 32 bit operating system your comp can only really use 3 gigs anyway. :(
Windows reserves the rest of the memory space for the ram on video cards and whatever else.
…
No. 32-bit architecture can't address more than 3.34gb of RAM. On a Mac, PC or otherwise.
Also, killersteak is a retard.
edit: you're half right, there are some addressing faults though. It's 2am, and I'm tired. Expect a rant about tech journalists later.

Who's idea was it to link that blog?
[17:52] I'm starting to lose my respect for this dude.

[17:56] righto
It's 2:20a.m.
I'm seriously thinking about waking my mom up and having her make me a hamburger.
I just stayed awake from 24hrs straight after getting my first laptop(fast but hurts my head) and I took medicine for my toothache and forgot my skinny ass can't handle anything more than ibuprofen. so that gave me he headache of a lifetime.
I'm still 'filtering' it out now…
Also TDishness keeps seeping into the normal forums.
God I want a hamburger.
Yesterday I stood in gale force winds and rain from 7 till 5, then got to come home to find out my dog had gone to the bathroom all over the kitchen floor because nobody let her out before they left, then I got to sit around without anything to do in an empty house for 5 hours because everyone in my family is out of town and the power was off.
Today I worked in gale force winds and ran from 7 to 1 then got to stand inside for an hour dripping and shivering until I finally convinced them to let me go home. I get home and start getting stuff ready for someone to come over and help me photograph a sculpture I'm putting in my portfolio that I've been working on for weeks and I need to submit to scholarships and galleries soon. They were supposed to show up at three and five hours later they weren't there. So I head to the grocery store to get some stuff for dinner hoping to make my mood better with a decent meal. I go in, get a steak and some stuff to make dinner with, chat with a couple of people I know from school and I'm starting to feel a little better. A couple minutes later I'm heading out of the store, and a extremely drunk fellow decides to try and help me with a few words of advice about something I couldn't understand. When I walk by him, not really paying attention, thinking about dinner, he gets mad and decides to throw his cup of crappy beer at the back of my head. Rather than start a fight and make my day worse, I just get into my car and left. I get home and try to wash it off with a shower but it just won't come out and my clothes are pretty much ruined too.
So now, I've been soaked to the point of catching a cold, still don't have a portfolio of work I can send out, and I smell like cheap stale beer and I still have nothing to do with myself.
What a great vacation / break from the family and work this weekend has been.
