The Power of the Babysitter

· Comment

So, my cousin is on her sec­ond year now at UCB. I have been assigned to be the Paci­fi­er and look over her by my aunt. I just want to share how’s it going, and show a lit­tle bit of what Jedi pow­er I have. Here’s a lit­tle some­thing that just occurred a while ago when I was ready to go to bed. I was about to close down IM when I saw her login and just decid­ed to say the fol­low­ing…

[00:22] me: go to sleep
[00:22] me: gnite
[00:22] me: lates

Mistaken Identity

So, it was a busy Mon­day morn­ing. Lots of stuff to do and get done before I head on out for LA this upcom­ing Fri­day night. Not to men­tion, what a looong dri­ve it’ll be as I’m going with the one, the only… Ms. Jenn V. (soon to be “G”).

Mean­while Cy IMed me about some fun­ny, ran­dom thoughts. This is what ensued (I’ll hide the iden­ti­ty of the per­son being talked about till I get their (i.e. “Y”) okay haha):

Cat, Kancho and Japan

· Comment

So, Joe­ma­ma had to back out of our Japan Dis­cov­ery Tour in Novem­ber. How­ev­er, we were for­tunte enough to have Cat come along and join in on the fun. Mean­while, I guess she was talk­ing to Ryan about it and I guess they had a con­ver­sa­tion about “kan­cho”. She did­n’t know what it was… till now:

[15:06] cat: ryan said i can’t play kanchu? w/the big boys yet
[15:06] me: haha
[15:06] cat: what’s it called?
[15:06] me: kan­cho
[15:06] cat: oh yeah, i’m gonna look that up right now
… (sec­onds lat­er)
[15:07] cat: ewww! i don’t want to play, i just looked it up on wikipedia!

The 70–200 Conversation

· Comment

So, I haven’t done one of these in a while. I was con­vers­ing with Juan about what gear to pack for my Big Island trip next week. Com­ing up with at least these:

  • 20D + SD400
  • 17–35/2.8–4
  • 28–75/2.8
  • bat­ter­ies + charg­ers

He then sug­gest­ed to bring the 70–200 as well. Now, for those non-shut­ter­bug geeks, this lens is huge and heavy but it packs a wal­lop.

Any­ways, here’s how it end­ed:

juan: (-) addi­tion­al weight w/ the above pack
juan: ?!?!?!?!?!?
juan: what good is work­ing out if you can’t car­ry an extra 10 pounds?!
juan: wuss
juan: I’ll fight you
