Rather Die in Boredom than Live in It

A snippet of one of my recent AIM convos:

Ryan: imma die of boredom

Chris: yea...you'll live. that's the worst part about it.

Oh man...

A New Day Off

I thought it'd be different to take a picture in a different place with a Coke can in focus and location blurred in bacground.  Or maybe a "where's Waldo?"-type photo with the Coke can somewhere in the scene. hmm..anyway, took the above picture at grandma's. We dropped in on her today and had lunch there.

Smile! We went and saw the horsies also.

I don't know the significance of this picture, but...

Sony HVLF42AM Flash Unit

I had bought this flash at full price at BestBuy only because I needed it for a jazz competition I had to shoot on short notice, and since BestBuy was the only place open after I got off work, at 6.  $300 plus $20 tax, it was such a drain of money just because it's a Sony-branded accessory "designed specifically for use with the Alpha".  

I returned it today, will be getting a nice check in the mail in a few days, and since I did like the addition of a flash...I'll be investing in a nice Sigma EF-530 Super DG Flash which I like more and it's half the price of the Sony. Sigma's site says it retails for around $410, lol, probably when it first came out, but I saw on eBay new for about 160.  (My 17-70 Sigma lens "retailed" for over $600, but i got it for a mere $300)

Back in the Day
