Well, my hard drive bit the dust late last weekend. It was NOT a good weekend for me. I’m so very grateful that Aaron was genius enough to buy me a system that mirrors – if it wasn’t for that, I would have lost EVERYTHING. But I’m still bummed. Now, I’m waiting for my new system to come in, so my editing has come to a bit of a halt. If you are waiting on your pictures, I apologize. At least it came towards the end of wedding season for me instead of smack dab in the middle of it. I should be up and running next week.
Sooooo … in an effort not to bum anyone out (because I’m sure you’re taking this news just as hard as I am), I’m going to post a few interesting/random/weird/funny to me only things to lighten the mood.
1. Saw Inception last week. Loved it. Would go back and see it again. And if you know me, you know I HATE the movie theater. The only other movie I willingly saw twice in the theater was Ocean’s 13. And it wasn’t for the popcorn … ifyouknowwhatimean. Was it for George? Matt? Brad? No, baby … all 3.
2. Aaron & I just watched the series premiere of The Colony on the Discovery Channel. Some of you may find it very interesting, but it’s pretty brutal for me to watch. This ain’t no wimpy Survivor with TV drama. 7 strangers dumped in a 4-block area in abandoned, devastated Louisiana. The premise? They just survived a global epidemic, and they have to work together to survive against the elements and other survivors who want to steal their food and supplies. No cash prize. No limits or boundaries. Just cameramen and medical personnel in case they are in real danger. And apparently, getting pepper sprayed in the eyes does not constitute real danger. It’s very interesting if you are into human survival and instinct since they concocted this show after Hurricane Katrina. And it’s peppered with commentary from survival and disaster experts. Let’s just say I’m glad there are no cute animals on that show. They would not last very long. Crap, that just bummed me out. Okay, something fun, something fun …
3. What does it take to become a test chef for the Food Network? If you know the answer, call me. How much freaking fun would that be?! You get to cook all day long using other people’s recipes and critique them! Aaron likened it to being asked to test The Edge’s guitars and amps … AND provide feedback. Not too shabby!
4. I am now 20 weeks. Halfway there. Yep, that’s about it. I’ll bet you wish there was more to report on, but there really isn’t. Just getting bigger.
5. Anybody else sick of Lindsay Lohan? Yeah, me too. This is why the rest of the world makes fun of us. Sweetheart, I know your life is over, and you’ve compared your well-deserved jail sentence to the possible stoning of an innocent Iranian woman (WTF?!?!?!). But guess what, this emotional roller coaster you’re on is a repeat from Paris Hilton. That’s right, all that fake crying has been done before. So suck it up, go to rehab and be a responsible citizen. #spoiledpeopleshouldbeonthecolony
6. Yay for hashtags! I love them!!!!
Happy Thursday!
The higher caliber SLRs can handle low-light situations well, and so can the more expensive lenses. If you’re struggling with shooting in a dark environment, I would consider re-evaluating your equipment choices.
