There is a cute Chinese girl in my class, one of a total of 3 cute girls in all of the compsci department. I usually sit next to her in class. Well today we both rode the elevator together, alone, and i couldn't even work up the courage to talk to her. We stood in awkward silence.

Spent the last 11 hours helping my Dad with my sisters stratus. The rear drivers side brake assembly shit the bed but when we took the drum off to get to it we found out it was worse than we had thought. Apparently the whole brake assembly was in shambles, it literally fell apart when the wheel drum was taken out. After the brakes were replaced we had to bleed the brake fluid which caused the old brake line to rupture, so thats what took up a lot of the time. I got some nice photos out of it though...

*Here is the wheel mount. You can see that the whole thing is caked with brake fluid that was spewing out. The parts on the towel below are parts of the brake assembly that just fell apart

*Here's how it looks with everything installed correctly. You can see the retainer springs in place, the two brake pads installed and a new piston (forget its technical name) that replaced the one that had ruptured.

God your camera is sexy

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #2621 on:** July 30, 2010, 11:25:39 PM »

Whats crazy is that my camera goes (on the used market) for around $300 now (without a lens, I glanced at Keh.com and there's an XT going for $360 with a zoom lens). I had originally bought it for $800 2 1/2 years ago. I have to admit though, I have a lovely lens paired with my Canon (a Zeiss, German optics <3) and its one of their lower end lenses too. I'm going to end up buying their modern Zeiss Distagon 28mm f/2 lens at some point but it costs around $1,200.

full-frame or bust.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #2625 on:** July 30, 2010, 11:56:41 PM »

I plan on building a new desktop for that stuff, Blue. I want to funnel a couple thousand into that project.

... I guess if you plan on outdoing me in still photography, the 5D Mark II is a better camera, but worth almost $1,400 more? I don't think so - not for my means.

TEEEPO · « **Reply #2626 on:** July 31, 2010, 12:01:55 AM »

i prefer to shoot only in 50mm and stay entirely away from zoom lenses.

so... it's important for me.

it's going to be nice not being limited to shooting only with film.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #2627 on:** July 31, 2010, 12:14:18 AM »

Teeepo, my man. 50mm

My Zeiss is actually a 50mm (50mm f/1.7) from the 80's film photography era (part of the Contax/Yashica line). Love it to bits, such a great little lens.

Here it is...

The Rebels are definitely great but I see myself gravitating towards their upper line of cameras (and definitely want Full Frame for the expanded Field of View for my 50mm). Its a chunk of change though but the build quality and size of the body is top notch. Though I'm not sure if I'll get the original 5D (which can be had, used, for around $1200-1500) or the MKII.

You couldn't talk to a girl from your Comp Sci class? I guess they can be pretty intimidating, especially if they're smarter than you, though there always seems to be a reasonable amount of first year girls giving it a shot that are always needing help with the basics, you should show them your prowess and charm. You have a nice smile too, look awkward and do that as a last resort

Yeah, I still regret not making the moves on the cute Serbian chick who was in my first year CS class... unfortunately she dropped the program after the first class

She was cute and we talked a lot... plus yeah, Serbian, aka E.Euro.

Right now I'm fucking pissed... supposed to be at a wedding in 15 min, but my g/fs train got delayed. She's working a shitty job for a bunch of ungrateful people who don't nearly pay her enough cash, she can't afford a car (nor does she want one), yet she's so lazy and doesn't seem to want to better herself.
