Anxious to get things rolling

Published November 28, 2006 Awesome , Life , School 2 Comments

I met with a counselor at Citrus College a few weeks ago. I found out that I have to retake only two classes and get a “C” to get my GPA above 2.0. I register for those classes on December 4th. I’m so stoked it wasn’t more than that!

What’s on my radar now?

I’m trying to catch up any outstanding “issues” I have with people. I have projects with a some people that I need to tend to, and I just have to get those completed so I don’t tick them off.

Update 12/5/2006: From the request of a Primerica attorney, I’ve removed references to them until further notice. No biggie.

Hi Twitter

I’m on Twitter now, partially because I wanted to grab “bryan” for my username. (Sweet!) Add me!

Unfortunately, Verizon Wireless doesn’t have any unlimited text messaging plans, so I’ll probably just turn off alerts unless I’m away from the computer. Pretty nifty, but I’m not sure what I can really use it for yet. I’m not even sure if any of you (who I know personally) will even try it out. You know what I mean. At least you can delete your account if you don’t care for it.

Movie theater prices too high?

Published November 18, 2006 Argh , Money , Movies 9 Comments

I’m not sure why I keep going to movie theaters, but I do. Tonight, I went to see a movie at the AMC Santa Anita 16. How much is the student price? $9.00! What happened?

I didn’t notice any improvements in the theaters. I have lots of TV shows to catch up on at home, and I think I’ll just wait until those movies come out on DVD.

What do I miss out on? At the moment, a big screen, surround sound, lines, and parking. I’ll be retiring my MovieWatcher card until ticket prices ease up – unless peer pressure from friends force me to go. ;)

This whole “issue” hit me because the price was $8.50 a few weeks ago, and I didn’t see any reason for the price hike. Do any of you feel the same way?

Call from Maine?

Did anyone call me from Maine yesterday at 1:11pm PST? They didn’t leave a voicemail message, and it got me curious.

“Office Space” Recut

Have you seen “Office Space“? If so, you’ll get a kick out of this – it doesn’t even look anything close to being a comedy!

  • 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 [...]

  • Sneak peek: Ginger and Joe October 27, 2009
    I wanted to share a few shots from Ginger and Joe’s wedding on October 18th, 2009. Even though I wasn’t feeling 100%, I’m stoked with the images we were able to create. Oh, and a Damon D’Amato sighting!1 Actually, Damon offered to be a second shooter. It was very generous of him. Thanks! ↩

Futile existence

Not the chill spot

The deafening silence

Reflection is the only thing left

All talk, no hustle
