Hey kids, today is homework

Hey kids, today is homework day. I’m gonna sit down and finish some work for Digital class. But, just so you guys don’t feel left out. I figured I’d upload a few pictures for you to take a look at. They’re linked to bigger images, so just click on’em to see the bigger version. I also stuck a “copyright” on them so no one desides to steal them. It’s kinda sad that I have to do that, but we won’t get into it. Also note, each of the “larger” images is very large, at least 200k+, just to let you know incase you’re on a slow connection. Ok, all three of the pictures were taken in the span of a week when I was still up in NH. The first one is down a dirt road in the middle of no where. It’s been “split-toned” which means it’s been run through about 30 chemicals to get it to have such a drastic color shift. It was originally B&W!! Both the second and third ones were taken in Merrimack NH, in and around Silver Lake. Ok, take a peak. Enjoy.

Well, today I’m tired as

Well, today I’m tired as heck. I didn’t get much sleep last night, but for good reasons. Anyway, I spent the morning trying to help my roommate find some coax cable so he could run tv to his room. We got that done but then he never got his cable/video card in his computer to work right so it was kinda pointless.

He’s blaiming Windows 2000 for his problems but I think it’s sorta misdirected. I mean, it isn’t really the operating systems fault that a tv tuner card you bought in highschool doesn’t work anymore, the company that makes it went out of buisness and you can’t find drivers. Oh well. He saying that he “hates” windows 2k, like he hates a lot of things and is vowing to uninstall it when he gets home from work. Good for him, some times it doesn’t work out for everyone. I know that personally I had more problems in 98 so I tried Linux, which was just as un-user-friendly. So, with Chris‘ urging, I finally made the jump to 2k, and I’m very pleased with it. But, I guess it’s not for everyone.

Other than that, this morning was rather uneventful. I’m being lazy and not working on the projects I have. Bad Matt, bad! I’ve gotta cut that out. I’ve got 11 collages due on monday and film to be shooting. As for the moment, since the sun has disappeared behind a giant black storm cloud, I don’t really feel like going outside and taking pictures, that’ll be tomorrows project. I’m gonna head downtown and see Lauren and get some dinner. Living on my own is great, but I don’t “remember” to eat. In the dorms it was different, there was a “meal time”. Here I can eat “whenever” so I always figure that I’ll eat later, but I never get around to it. Oh well, food is good, so I’m going to go have some. Later.

Well, that was easy. I

Well, that was easy. I called B&H and talked to a customer service guy about my package. He said to stick it back in the box it came from, with the invoice, write “Attn: Return Dept” on it and they would send me a new one and refund my shipping. How nice. I knew there was a reason I liked these guys.

The cable guy also came today. Now I have 80 channels and nothing to watch instead of 6. We had “basic” cable over the summer and now that all the roommates are back, we wanted a few more. Basically, Pete wanted Nickaloden, Jason wanted Cartoon Network and I wanted Comdey Central. So we upgraded. It’s going to cost an arm and a leg but at least I have basic things like the Weather Channel or CNN incase anything else happens or we get a hurricain.

Other than that, I’ve got 3D Design at 3:00 today and then I work on photo projects all weekend. Oh, almost forgot… I got a roll of Kodak EIR yesterday. It’s Kodak’s Infared film. I’ve been told that it’s really cool. I can’t wait to try it out. I guess that if you take pictures in normal conditions (outdoors, daylight etc) it shifts the entire color spectrum. ie: red trees, dark blue/purple sky, orange grass, stuff like that. Sounds like the perfect thing for a color photo class. hehe. Ok, time for some lunch. Later.

I was just about to get to that. I actually overrode that the other night when I was playing with stuff. I was writing a newer one anyway, so look for that in the coming days.

Ok, much randomness around. First, I got my copy of Grim Fandango in the mail today. Yippee. It’s one of my favorite adventure/puzzle games of all time. A big thanks to Nick for letting me borrow this way back in the day. I also got a copy of “Spanish Culture: 1400-1600.” I didn’t order this. I wasn’t charged for it. It was simply in my package. Odd.

Also, Counter-Strike 1.3 and HalfLife 1.1.0.8 updates are out. Go grab’em!

What else? Oh ya, we get cable tomorrow! Huzah! That and I get to call and yell at B&H photo for sending beat-up photo supplies. Maybe I can wrangle something free out of’em. We’ll see.

Other than that, there’s not much goin’ on. I feel really sick at the moment, so I’m going to go to bed. Night.
