First post in the month of August, in the Gregorian year of 2009 (date will be different in different calendars obviously). I'm currently watching Tivo'd VH1 music videos at like 2:30 in the morning and decided to ramble on here a bit. Music video shows are definitely something that I like, but at least in the US, it's only tolerable if you've Tivo'd it. When overseas where they actually have multiple music channels that play lots of good (and a mix of old and new) songs, you don't have to fast forward near as much through crappy songs or annoying commercials. It's actually one of my favorite things about non-US-ian TV. Even MTV Europe plays lots of music.
Last weekend we had a family reunion on my Dad's side, here in Austin none-the-less, at my Uncle's house. It was nice to see that side of the family, and my parents came up to stay at my place, so I got the privilege of sleeping on the couch. Hence why when I bought aforementioned couch, I specially made sure it was comfy while laying down on it, since I figured that would probably happen.
Unsurprisingly, there are still crazy people who, a year later, are trying to maintain that Obama was born in Kenya instead of Hawaii, despite objective proof that he was born in Hawaii. But to them, the exact same document that the state of Hawaii gives you when you say "Hey, I lost my birth certificate, can I get a replacement?" just doesn't count if your name is Barack Obama, despite that it's used as legal proof of US citizenship for a passport, for a driver's license, for being hired for a job, or for any other purpose that a birth certificate is needed. Considering people still think we faked the moon landing or that Elvis is alive, it's to be expected though I guess. They wont' believe it until they get the birth certificate they're looking for. Obviously he had to be born in Kenyatown, Kenya.
I had broken the case of my 50mm f/1.8 lens on the trip to New Zealand back in June, and now it's completely falling apart. I literally have to hold it together as I shoot with it. It still takes great photos, but it's kind of funny when it comes apart if I'm not squeezing it together.
My phone is acting all weird tonight, it keeps buzzing at me to say I have new email, but when I check it, I don't have any new email. Come on phone, you can do it!
3 more weeks until I see Kara again! Doing long distance over 8000 miles apart sucks.
