I wish i could catchup on sleep :lol: Maybe this weekend?

Yes we need to get on CS! How much knitting do you need to do?

I wish netflix added movies quicker to their streaming service! Always feels so sloooow with the new adds.

I have to knit 20 swatches (test blocks of stitches) and eventually FOURTY SWEATERS, YES I JUST SAID 40 SWEATERS BY SEPTEMBER. HOLY ****. I'm going to need help.

I heard netflix created a new "low" bandwidth for canadians worried about hitting bandwidth limits. Didn't read it tho, heard about it from my husband today.

I just wish it wasn't so expensive for me to knit, I always need something to watch and regular TV seems to suck. I've re-watched all the seasons of buffy, entourage amungst others... need to find a new series I think. And I like to surf here, and online etc but can't when I knit. Plus the quicker I get these bad boys knit, the quicker I get to the fun part of photographing them all!

I can see your bringing in some back up for it!

Hmm the black oxide rubs off?:confused: I would end up just taking it all off if i noticed that.

Well, I think it's just a bit of excess that rubs off. Can't be sure until I use it for awhile.

Absolutely :lol:

Top Gun was one of the first movies I bought on blu-ray though to test out my new sound system. It's quite humorous.

Well, congrats on the publishing, very cool! I got put into an online government site once with a bird shot, that's the one and only thing of mine "out there" (that I know of:)). It's a nice thing, though.

Keep trying, it is really nice when they are used! I got into it by taking photos for my own patterns, so people saw my photography a decent bit, then I just included photography in with the book proposal, I am sure I would not have gotten the chance if it was not "my" book, but I am hoping with this book completed next year, I can get jobs photographing OTHER people's books, I would LOVE that!

The air to air photography in Top Gun though is epic! The camera housings they used were actually developed by the late George Hall who is still regarded as the "Grand Daddy" of aviation shooters.

Back then, the subject had to stay in the frame but today's version allows for remote pan, tilt, zoom and focus as well!

:shock: Thats a lot! Might need an assistant of sorts!

You should look into the series: Boardwalk Empire. Really good! It should help with the knitting time as each episode is an hour.

Sweet man! What was their reaction to realizing the velcro?

I actually tapped the hand trying to lift the wallet, two girls, and they walked away without looking, my left hand was on the 5D2 slung ala tactical sling with the black rapid strap.

They say we get some good swag, a cool velcro thingy that sticks to the flash without adhesive, and a cool rosco gel pack, and what I want, the think tank CF card case! YAY!!!!! I am so excited, all day no kids, my camera and my flash! They say if you dress up in a costume they may pick you to be photographed... I keep considering it lol.

Sounds fun! I'll get a taste of Joe McNally in June when he speaks at an aviation photography symposium I'm attending.
