half-assed update

blustockinghuh. guess I've been absent from this here internets-space for awhile now.
For those of you who emailed me, I WILL respond soon, promise.
This semester I will: get internets at home, along with a new computer (making the PC-to-Mac leap) and....drum roll....A NEW CAMERA. Yes, yes, my Sony has served me well for 5 years now, but with 5mp becoming the norm, it's time to take a giant leap. I was thinking the Canon 30D or the Nikon D200 (so spendy), but...I think I've decided to stick with Sony since they just introduced a new, very affordable for what it is, DSLR, which seems to be giving Nikon and Canon a run for their money. Plus, it's 10.2mp.
So, enough of that. I can't concentrate properly since I'm doing a radio show right now, and playing a CD I picked up in Beijing. The guy told me he mixed it himeself, but there was either some miscommunication or it's just a bootleg. It's still good.
Contrary to plans for future purchases, I'm poor and I've foolishly decided to quit my job. Borders has fallen over the corporate ledge, officially, and too many good people have JUST left. It's not the same and the money isn't good enough to keep me there.
I'm not the most responsible person in the world sometimes, yet it usually works out. I'm beginning to think if it weren't for my wonderful parents, I would be destitute.
I have much to tell, between Europe and China this year, I've been overwhelmed and it's taking a long time to process, both pictures and memories.
I miss China.

Date: 2006-08-01 02:03 pm (UTC)You're used to Sony optics at work, so I imagine it'll be what you want it to be - even when making that big a jump (I went from a 3MP powershot to the Rebel) it still has a distinctive look to the photos, so it'll probably be well within your expectations. Enjoy the camera and the full hard drive from all the photos [grin]...

I am so going for the Sony, they haven't done me wrong yet.

Date: 2006-08-08 04:19 am (UTC)So yeah, yay for realizing that I should have gone to another school when I only have about a year left anyway. heheh. :}
Oh well, here's hoping self-teaching, workshops, grad school, and sheer talent will get me where I want to go.
