NowPlaying: Cream – SWLABR
Yeah… I’ve been eyein that camera for way too long now… (since before Japan). I really wanna just get it now, but I know that once the update to it comes out, the price’ll keep droppin’ (or I might just go cutting edge). But man its hard. I look at that page everday, subconciously hoping that I’ll break and put in the order.
Why the lust?
Well, my old “trusty” Sony cam just ain’t cuttin it no more. Waaaaaay to much lag: with flash, it creates about a 7 second interval in which the camera is COMPLETELY unusable— no preview (screen turns off for some weird reason), no nuthin. And that’s when the flash is usable. 80% of the time, it just ends up making the pictures darker. Along with the lack of an audio-only mode (I use my cam as a ghetto tape recorder for concerts and conversation, when its too dark for movies), I’ve pretty much stopped taking pictures “in the moment”, now strictly using it for documentation. Now while I’m definately an advocate of picture sharing among friends (is it REALLY necessary to use 15 different cameras for the same group photo? c’mon, we’re in the internet age!), it sucks not being able to capture those moments which only your own imagination sees.
Damn… I’m such a technocrat! (at least I’m not this fiend)
Ah well, I layed low this weekend. Went to language table, and chilled with Takashi, Daniel, Baby (Andrew), Eric and Stephanie. Talked about a lotta interesting stuff, ghost stories, Equilibrium, Death Metal, Equilibrium, Geography (Baby draws crazy detailed country maps from memory), Progressive Metal, Yatta, religion, and bubble-like alien crafts. I think I infect people with randomness!
On Saturday, I went to APSA talent show to watch Zandi and Arash perform. They kicked ASS. I had never heard Zandi sing (live), and I must say I was blown away. She deserves her diva status fasho!
And Angry Black Man Props to Arash on his drummin’. You could really see that he felt the music… aww my hero.
I was supposed to watch… haha… Equilibrium with the crew after the show, but I had to return that damned half full keg from the party. Stupid broken tap ruined EVERYTHING (not the party tho! shit was hot! thanks to all those who came out!). Karen also invited me out to a black & white party @ Lorelai’s old pad, but I decided to just stay home and do work nothing really (she actually ended up not goin at all).
Well, there’s my stream of conciousness. I should keep this up and get all the shit still in my head out, so I can move on to more productive posts eh?
This week’s Pix:
They were servin some cake and punch too… a kinda pointless event, but neat nonetheless.
Clockwise from left: Takashi, Eric, Stephanie, Danie & Baby (this guy knows everything)
I hate my camera… shaky cuz it was hella delayed… Anyone got better pics?
