Random catchup for March 27, 2006

I'm stoked because I have items I'd like to write about; I have 33 links on my desktop waiting to be written about. However, they're mostly meant for my main blog, All Narfed Up. So, onto the randomness, right?

  • It was tough last week because I was sick, but also because our division leader couldn't get official permission to use a field at Rio Hondo School. We didn't have a good practice because we weren't using our sized field. Today, we just decided to use the field at Rio Hondo School. The principal wouldn't call back, the secretary didn't seem to pass the message and/or phone number, and the fields didn't seem to be occupied when we needed to use them.
  • I thought Saturday was going to be a bad day, due to the workload stemming from the "I Kare For Youth" dinner. Fortunately, we had great help cleaning up afterwards so setting up all the chairs for church was a cinch.
  • It's great when you and a group of friends work together to try and overcome a problem. In this case, I'm talking about our band, the garage, and lack of insulation. Sunday, we basically finished the door. It was awesome to work on it together, and then eat pizza and buffalo wings for dinner. (Thanks for picking that stuff up for us, Dave.) We'll see how that all helps next week.

About that last item, I was sort of annoyed of the discussions that took place after we finished eating. Basically, it sounded like there were arguments flying around, because people were getting cut off or not allowed to get a word in. I'm all up for a good hearty discussion, but if you're not listening more than talking, you're going to waste everyone else's time

Don't misconstrue my opinion with grumpiness, because for the most part, I'll only want to talk if I can help empower someone and improve their life.

With the guys in our band, we each have our strengths. I guess I contribute logical thinking, huh?

  • Depends how you look at it November 16, 2009
    Silas and I were supposed to meet up with other photography classmates for long exposure photos from Cow Canyon Saddle by Mt. Baldy Village1. That didn’t happen. Once we got to the turnout on Glendora Ridge Rd, we just saw a sign and a road leading into an RV park. There wasn’t a mention of Cow Canyon [...]

  • Rx Bandits at The Glass House November 13, 2009
    November 12, 2009 — A photo I took of the Rx Bandits rocking out at The Glass House (Pomona, CA). More to come, of course. Thanks to Cathy and Chase from Sargent House for the photo pass (again)! View on Flickr

  • Bill November 10, 2009
    I didn’t ask Bill to pose or smile. I liked his second portrait, but that wasn’t as sharp. Boo me. Reflections of myself and Bill’s dad (upper left) was deliberate. Taken inside his dad’s garage, and hopefully soon to be his recording studio. View on Flickr

  • A gift of film November 10, 2009
    Jon Swanson emailed me last Friday and asked if I wanted any color Fuji 35mm film. He didn’t tell me how many rolls he had in his possession. Most importantly, he didn’t want a dime. I asked him how much he had, but he persisted that I give him a number. I requested eight rolls of 200 film1. [...]

  • One of my first prints November 5, 2009
    I tried to get this scanned print as close to the real thing as possible. I cropped out the white borders since they weren’t clean. I didn’t write down how I exposed this in the enlarger – shame on me, I guess. Lastly, since this was our first assignment, our teacher hadn’t shown us contrast filters [...]
