  1. the guy already shipped it. fuck. and after that incident a few months ago i am not inclined to cancel orders anymore. fuck man thats a nice deal too anyone want a bnib nex5?
  2. mother fucker
  3. i wish grahame, i wish. just want one lady really. she unfortunately doesnt want to flock towards me =/ oh well. time to continue reading mein kampf. interesting read so far. good night all.
  4. august(trip to ireland) cant come fast enough. even after a reasonably good afternoon/evening, i still feel like crap (the same i did this morning). really hoping some time away from everything will help my general state of mind...
  5. after 2 exceptionally shitty days, i decided to burn through a hundred bucks playing poker. figured it might provide a change of scenery. mostly just wanted to get my head away from life and feel a little jolt of adrenaline. poker has a way of giving that to me. makes me feel alive, even if for just a few minutes. 12:43pm - sat down at a 1-2 with $100. around 3pm - got up from the 1-2 with $1591 which is unheard of for such a low limit table. around 3pm - saw a few people at a 2-5 i used to play with a very long time ago. figured i could stay for another hour. not like i had anything else to do. 9:21pm - walked away with $5800 after a $100 tip to the dealer. massive headache right now but at least i dont have to work in the summer anymore and can maybe buy a nice lens for the nex 5 without feeling guilty. still in a shitty mood but whatever. bank account looks a little prettier.
  6. Happy bday shelly!
  7. sony nex 5 with 18-55 kit lens.
  8. nex 5 it is then. thanks for the help everyone. just picked up a bnib from fredmiranda.com for $40 less than amazon/bhphoto/ebay. should be here next week. fun
  9. Was reading some more and found that the nex 5 doesnt have in body in body image stabilization. There are some is lenses though. My hands do shake a lot which is not a terrible bad problem for very short exposure times but it gets worse very fast. It would be a reasonable assumption that buying non is lenses as great as they might be wouldn't be terribly smart. I sort of just took the is of the s95 for granted and never tried to shoot without it to see what differences I got. Would it be better to just stick to something that does in body is or just go with this? Are the 18-55 and the voightlander lens you suggested Dan fairly close? Could I get away with the pancake and that lens from eBay? If I am walking around with 3 lenses I might as well just get a Dslr as it will probably take as much space. This stuff is so much worse than headphones. Infinitely more options. With adapters this shit gets even crazier.
  10. Thanks dan, kd. So nex 5 with the kit 18-55 then? I dont think I can stomach a $2k lens right now. There are one or two used nex5s floating around. Would it be cheaper to buy just the body used and then get the lenses elsewhere? Or should I just spring for the kit? How is the culture like on fredmiranda.com for newbies? I sent very polite emails to a few people but no response.
  11. heh. that lens alone costs more than my whole budget. might look into it seriously if this nex5 really is the cats shit.
  12. bleh this is driving me nuts. heading to ireland at the end of the summer. wanted something nicer than the s95 for the trip. as of right now im considering panasonic gf2, gh2 and sony nex5 with some sort of wide angle lens. id like to buy this sooner than later so i have time to play with the camera and figure things out before i leave. suggestions? budget is ~$1300 +/- a little (little being subjective ) but thats for both body + lens. used would obviously be preferred.
  13. God damn Laxx. I usually don't like ink but that's a very well done tattoo. Take picture once the inflammation is gone.
  14. That I don't get.
  15. I was trying to act smart. Stop stealing my thunder
  16. Least common denominator.
  17. Like how to fucking add fractions in a calculus course. Learn that shit in 2nd grade you dumasses
  18. Dude how can one misspell "Chris" 6 or 7 times I forgot of your connections to those in the legal profession.
  19. Our entire families' paperwork was meticulously done by my mom. She said if you spend time with the paperwork you will save time later. The test itself is cake. I looked over the book on thd way to the test. You should have no trouble chris. That said good luck.
  20. happy bday sir.
  21. Summoning the anti Christ?
  22. "it's not gambling when you know you are going to win," said my friend just before he won with 3 9 offsuit. Everyone at the table got pissy lol.
  23. i did that last year. didnt go to any of the talks. spent the entire weekend with another grad student playing poker. first night i lost $1700 and he wont $800. second night i made $2300 and he lost $1500. third night we both made ~$2000 each. excellent trip overall just before we were about to leave, on a whim, we both put $100 each on black and lost our money but still came out on top. the flight and the stay was paid for so a good time it was. on the way back we both laughed to ourselves that i had just made the same amount of money in about 20 hours that i normally take a month to make as a grad student.
  24. Will run malware bites when I get to school. Forgot to mention that my laptop was turned off last night when emails were supposedly sent out.
