Drive-by Camera Nerding...
...I got a new camera yesterday!
It's a Canon 5D mark II with the kit lens. It's my first camera body update since getting a digital SLR back in 2003 - spent a fair penny on nice glass (lenses) in the meantime, so I've got a decent lineup now ( Read more... ) -
Life, things, and a question.
Soo....yeah. I'm like, awesomely great at keeping up to date on Livejournal and all that. Did you know you can only go so far back on your friends page before it stops showing you posts? Ahem ( Read more... ) -
Farscape: Yay or Nay?
Settle the argument!
Poll Farscape, GOOD or BAD
So...yeah. Reason for this: Amazon's selling the Farscape Ultimate Collection (all four seasons, plus Peacekeeper Wars) for a reasonable sum. But Rachel's now mocking me for she believes it's cheesy nonsense.

Amazon.com's selling the first two seasons for the low low price of 14.99.
Really. Stupidly cheap.
If I didn't have them already, I'd buy 'em. -

Valenteguitars.com is consistently offline because a) I'm busy and b) Fuitadnet are sort of fuckwitted about allowing me to update credit card details (ergo, I've never managed to have an automatic payment succeed despite entering all details correctly, checking with bank, etc ( Read more... ) -
I made a shiny thing...
...for immortalradical's guitar. Been slow, like all the building stuff, but I've got this feeling the body's going to be together by this weekend. Perhaps hopeless optimism, but at the very least I should have a bent rimset and some braced plates; whether I get the top glued down depends on how the voicing/tuning process goes. And then it's off to bind two ( Read more... ) -
