Yay! Vacation!

But even better? Yay! I’m almost done baking! And yay! I’m being bought breakfast in half an hour!

How've I been? In a word? Awesome. In five? Awesome and full of booze.

Is arguably the most anti-festive thing one can do during the Holidays

The mass commercialization of holidays and other special days is a disturbing trend.

I started hearing Christmas commercials on the radio on Nov 1st much to my chagrin which quickly turned to anger. I’ve been hearing the same shitty Koodoo christmas carol commercials for almost 2 months now!!!

Does a weekly family dinner already, only difference with Christmas is that we might throw in a turkey in there, other then that it’s fairly routine

I would probably appreciate it more if it didn’t happen more often

I’ve got the makings of a shepherds pie bubbling on the stove in prep for Christmas Eve Dinner…my mother in-law has a Turkey and a ham ready to go for the 25th, my kids are getting ready to put on a little Christmas play with their nanny in about 30 minutes, our tree looks ideal as there’s a big string of burned out lights right in the freakin’ middle of it, I have 400 Christmas songs on the iPod and all our shopping is done.

I LOVE this time of year.

oh man....

how’s this for awkward. My wife’s former room mate and best friend is coming to town and she’s going to spend the night at our house on Friday.

here’s the thing. I met my wife because i had a huge crush on her best friend. i don’t any longer, in fact, i can’t stand her, which is what makes it awkward. she turned out to be like all those other psycho girls i dated. far as i know, she’s till uber-nuts.

i am going to need to be SO drunk Friday night…

Have at it

Do whatever you want. All I was trying to suggest is that perhaps it would be better for you, your mental health and your wife if you just let it be.

But if you really feel the need to tear down someone who is so obviously unhappy, then by all means, do.

As someone who has had the “You’re not married, so what is wrong with you?” thrown at them, I resent that you’d choose that to attack her with, considering there are so many better options. And yes, women are held up as damaged if they aren’t married (don’t know if it holds true for guys) so I think that you shouldn’t do anything to perpetuate that old tripe.

I’m disappointed, but sadly, not surprised.

I know we're not

my point is that if people continue to use the “you’re not married? what is wrong with you?” on anyone, it is because it still means something insulting, and as a member of the gender that will get that thrown in my face, it does have to do with me. And my little cousin, and any other girls who don’t get married at an early enough age. So it does have to do with me.

And I don’t empathize with her. I just figured you’d be better off being a better role model for your daughter and trying to move past her issues.

I can’t stop you, and I see that trying to reason is futile, so I’ll stop that too.

i think the point was that you attack anyone at their weakest point, not just necessarily women. The target was a women so they obvious points of attack were explored. Had it been a man it would have been about being good in bed, or being a wuss, or something.

it’s a much better wound when it applies to the individual and is clever, rather than a generality that they probably hear from people who don’t know them all the time.

Asking someone why they’re not married is a rediculous question, almost up there with asking a couple why they don’t have kids. It’s not clever, it’s rude.

nah I’m not a gamer really… I just like playing video games now and then.

It’s really that weird. He’s played NHL 07 the past two years, and absolutely loves the interface. If we had the XBOX 360, we’d have NHL 09 and he’d constantly be playing it. But the controls for 2K9 really annoy him, and the whole game is so far behind what 07 was, he hates it.

by Karina on Dec 23, 2008 12:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

well...

NHL08 and 09 controls are way different than 07.

part of the reason i didn’t like 08 was due to the change in controls. with 09, it’s the same control set up, but it seems to work a little better than it used to.

that said, the changing of players you control sucks on 09. 9 times out of 10, it’ll pick a guy further away from the puck than it should, and i end up having to reorient myself as my instinct is that i should be controlling a different guy (iif that makes any sense…)

Is the D700 the really spendy one?

by LeafFanInVan on Dec 23, 2008 2:33 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

It is a full frame body, the body alone costs $3000CDN before taxes…

Those two lenses I am eyeing are currently each priced at $1700 brand new…

Still saving up…

I have a D60 newb camera that I got back last May but have long since out grown it and I need some real gear now.

I personally prefer Nikon over Canon, Nikon has better stuff in general but tend to be pricier… but for a casual user, both are good choices and there is little difference unless you start getting into the pro-category

Ya I was going by the consumer reports and dpreview.com stuff, and it seems like the Canon may be a better fit.. Will probably goto a camera store and try out both though, just to get an idea on usability. Going after Xmas for the better deals, hopefully!

by LeafFanInVan on Dec 23, 2008 2:40 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yup

Always try out the camera, the ergonomics are a bit different between Canon and Nikon bodies… some people find one or the other more comfortable to hold in their hands.

Again either brand is good to get started with, and not a whole lot will end up going semi-pro with the more expensive gear… the pro-sumer stuff like the Rebel XSi will cover about 99% of your needs.

For sure. The one thing that pushed me to the Canon over the Nikon D40 was the auto-clean it has.. That just sounds cool how it cleans the reflector using ultrasound or something. Perhaps the D60 has that too, not sure.

by LeafFanInVan on Dec 23, 2008 2:45 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

D60 has it

D60 is really just the D40 with the sensor cleaning feature, the eye-sensor underneath the eye-piece so the LCD screen turns off automatically when you bring the camera up to your face and a 10.4 megapixel sensor over the 6 MP sensor on the D40.

Otherwise they’re identical.

Every brand, including Sony, Olympus and Pentax has the sensor cleaning feature in their DSLRs released from 2007 and beyond.

Neat feature, beats getting in there with the brush + air squeeze thing I recall seeing my dad use on his (non-D) SLR..

by LeafFanInVan on Dec 23, 2008 2:54 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Well

The sensor-cleaning thing only cleans the sensor, not the mirror, I have gotten dust on my mirror and it took me about 15 minutes with the air squeeze to clean it off because I didn’t dare touch my mirror with a cloth or anything.

I’ve been told it’s not overly critical, and its more of a marketing feature, most pros say they have never gotten dust on their sensors even after years of use and constantly changing lenses… and I agree, it’s not easy… it’s always covered by the mirror and only exposed for frictions of a second at a time.

Not overly necessary no

Actually I imagine it wouldn’t be of much use for us amateurs who don’t change lenses that often… especially if you’re just starting out, the most you might use are 2 lenses, a wide lenses and a telephoto and typically your wide lens will cover about 75% of your needs.

Even the pro-guys won’t change lens that often, they’ll carry like 4 or 5 lenses on them, but generally they’ll carry 2 to 3 cameras with them because changing lenses usually take too long and is too much of a hassle.

he’s on a weird health kick and for some reason we weren’t allowed to eat real bacon.

It was the most disgusting stuff… they even put some “fat” on it in an attempt to make it look like bacon.

It had no taste and the consistency of rubber. Thankfully, once I pointed out the amount of processing that had to be done to the chicken to make it look like bacon probably made up for the less fat, he realized that it was a mistake and it shall never be bought again.

But still, it was disgusting. And a blaspheme.

I am a bit of a museum addict (not galleries though, good lordy I hate galleries).

well...

i was wearing a hoodie (naturally…) on Sunday to the movies (last time i remember having it.) my assumption is it fell out of my hoodie pocket at the movies, or at the restaurant we ate at afterwords.

i called both places and, shockingly, no one’s turned in an iphone.

No way

If I picked up an iPhone and kept it, the first thing I would do is wipe the memory and turn it off, unlock the thing and then sell it

I read a funny story about a guy who managed to track down his stolen xbox 360 by using one of the wireless controllers that was already “paired” with it that the thieves didn’t take.. It was someone else in his dorm building and he managed to track them down to the exact room and bring in campus security.

Dumb

First rule of stealing electronics, always turn it off and keep it off and do not use it unless it has been wiped of all traces of its previous ownership… actually that goes for almost anything you steal.

With the 360 I think the serial # is non-wipeable and if you’ve registered with MS they can tell if it signs onto the interwebs someplace else..

Whether or not they actually do anything about it is another kettle o fish.

well...

up until 15 minutes ago, they had a perfectly functional phone.

AT&T is actually prretty good about this kind of thing. all calls after 12 noon on sunday have been deemed “suspicious” and we won’t get billed if they happen to go over our plan.

however, now, they have a shiny brick…
