Took pics of the moon, and some stars, the other night... though I couldn't get a single detail of the moon's surface and the camera was slow so the stars left trails due to the Earth's rotation.

Moon:


Orion:
Orion's Belt

Betelgeuse

The stars wouldn't have left trails due to the rotation, as I've seen clear pics through telescopes before. In other words, you didn't use a remote, you just pushed the shutter button on the camera and caused it to move. You know how to get a better pic of the moon? Tripod + shutter delay + telephoto lens + high res + photoshop to make it fill the frame better.

Anyway, as long as I'm talking photography... I decided it was finally time to purchase my own DSLR and stop stealing my dad's. So I went out and picked up a Canon Rebel XS last Friday, and I've already put it through its paces to come up with a list of more stuff to buy.

Camera:


Some of the 2500-odd shots I've taken in the past few days, for your enjoyment:








Current list of equipment needed:
Polarizing filter
Camera bag
External flash (preferably a strobe)
Spare battery

I didn't mention a THING about taking a camera through the telescope lens, on that post.

My camcorder was on night mode and the capturing was slow.

You had talked about it before, so I assumed.

Regardless, taking stills through a camcorder is worse. Seriously, just spend the money on an SLR. Take it from someone who's done it, you'll never look back.

I regret installing Windows 7 on my laptop. Now its internet connectivity is dead.

you think that's bad. I installed windows XP on my macbook. Now I have to partition it

I got tipsy after ONE mug of beer -___-;;;

I had the strangest school-girl giggles, talked slow and fobby, and was pretty affectionate with the b/f >___<
Apparently, I was pretty fun too hahaha.

I'm guessing by mug you mean a 20oz mug?

It was only this much ;___;

Awsomeness has splashed down me and missed. But I did get a renewal phone today. I'll post it in the phone thread.

I also got a better TA on NBLCW.

I'll post it on the Journal Thread.

I'll think about it.

That's all right. I usually assumed stuff, also.

Such as I assumed that 98% of WME are males.

ROFLMAOSMIC XD


::sigh::

i miss my gf =.=

night wme =)

So there's this girl at the college I attended last semester who's totally into me. Well, I went and hung out there yesterday, and she needed a ride home, so naturally, she asked me. So in the car, she asked about repaying me for the ride, and I responded "Well, how about you let me take you to dinner some time?" She looked at me with this huge smile and said "Sure, dinner sounds great."

Also, the new Prince album is AWESOME.

Hahaha........
I hope it stays here in WME

cmspaz- Congrats!! xD xD

Today was a b*tch.

I finally got my tag for my van. I went to QuikTrip to fill up the tank, and then I saw it... A FLAT f**kIN TIRE!

On the right rear wheel, I saw the b*tch tire. Going flat, but not all the way. Good thing there was a free air pump 200m away from me. After I pumped it full, I decided to go to Kuffman Tire, since they're loyal to me and my family, and had them check it out. As a matter of fact, ALL f**kING TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, WERE DRY-RODDED!!!!!!

We try to decide to see if my mom can do anything(i.e. using credit card) but she didn't want to use so much money for a new tire, since their cheapest one was $88. I decided to start heading to a used tire shop. WELL...[deep sigh] the same tire is now flat-out flat. I decided to leave with caution, by going 20 under(the speed limit was 35/56 mph/kph and a Racetrac was only 1000m away. The van wobbled all the way to the gas station.

30 minutes later, my mom decided to have me go back to Kuffman, she also sent my sister to help me.

Long story, shorter, I'm here and my van is running fine, though I need new brake pads, soon.

As for good news this week...

I'VE SAW FAST AND FURIOUS!!!!

FTMFW!!!

ntg realli interestin happened more to toward stupid..went to college on the third day...(had oni started..)went thr..10 minute later lecturer come in say.." sry class thr no class today..due to certain problem..so all class is cancelled..." so...epic...i went to college for 30 minute..and back...wtf....

Let's see... I've been hanging out more with my best friend; borrowing his Dreamcast, playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2.

Saw Taken and Dragonball: Evolution, last Friday.

I've completed TXR2 and now have these completely modified:

A Class
Nissan Skyline GT-R [R32]
Nissan Fairlady Z [S30ZX]
Mazda RX-7 [FD3RS]
Porche 911 Carrera [964C2]

B Class
Nissan 180SX [PS13X]

C Class
Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX [AE86T3]


Obviously, the only way I fully modified all of these cars came from doing the "Keep Garage", which starts you over, from the beginning, but you keep your cars and get 1000000CP.

I also have a R34 and R30, but they haven't been worked on, yet.



Oh, yeah, the carburator, on my van, is dirty. Full of junk, so I have to clean it. Making the van stall.


I've also applied as an extra for the shooting of Five Killers, starring Aston Kutcher, which filming would start at the end of the month.

The movie should come out summer 2010.

So near yet so far... I'm but a hairline away from my first real estate sale and my client backs out...

Geoffrey wants more money. Work sucks but at least I'm making something..

Just studying a bit for an upcoming test... Dunnow how it'll work out, I'm not so sure if I did enough

My mom bought a used 2001 Kia Sportage. It drives pretty good.


Wonder how well it'll drift...


Though I get self-conscious when I drive it, now. Mom put Tinker Bell stuff inside it.

I wish I had more time to play Wangan. T_T

My week...

Monday: Work, Life Drawing sessions then afterwards play Wangan.
Tuesday: Work
Wednesday: Day off, usually time for Wangan when in city. Regular Belgian Beer night cause they have half price mussels. mmm.
Thursday: Work, Piano lesson.
Friday: Work, Get drunk at a party.
Saturday: Work/Weekend off depending on the week.
Sunday: Ditto. Recover from night before.

this pasts days I have been helping on a construction on the side of the house. Floor is going to be on cement, and from there is going to be a wood house.
Tiring.... yes, but I'm taking a break since it's raining HARD.

ETA for cement: 2 days. Cost: I don't want to think about it, because (I hope not) it's going to be mixed my hand (no machines ) and it's tiring.
