So why did you give up bartending ... gotta be easier than your professorship?

For a second there I thought you meant Highlander . until I read your description.

Loved Highlander!

A Ubor Super Cool movie

there can only be ONE !!

Never watch Highlander either. I thought Outlander and Highlander were vehicles.

Most of the Tv I watch is news, sports and Netflix.

I know you'd like a X100S or X100T. But it's a fixed lens ... as your first digital I think you'd be happier with an ILC.

I guess it would depend on what I plan to use it for and how it would fit. I think I'd be pickier about having a viewfinder.

I just might be going back to it! The place where I was working didn't make me enough money to continue giving up my Saturday nights, but I would seriously consider it as a side gig if I could get into a pricier joint.

There's a bunch of things in flux at the college right now and I can't quite tell if any of them might mean something good for me if I just hang in there for a couple of more years, or if there's still no chance and I should cut my losses and throw all my energy into finding a job with my new Paralegal certificate.

A Hasselblad will make you King of Appleton.

Well, considering I've never seen another person use one around here, I think ANYTHING 6x6 or larger would.

Big story in The Times about the chili pepper situation in New Mexico. It is quite interesting. We almost went to the the Hatch Chili Festival this year.

Wait. What's the chili pepper situation? I like my chili peppers!
Of course, I grow my own...along with habaneros and various other varieties, but still...I'm concerned about the safety and welfare of chili peppers everywhere.

All the better Fuji have viewfinders. All the better Fuji have EVF. The X-Pro1, X-100, X-100S and X-100T have optical and electronic viewfinders. The Fuji line is one of the better cameras for legacy glass, you have choices of an electronic split image, one-touch magnification or focus peaking.

Hence my very appropriate remark.

So, whassup? I see I've fallen further behind Mr. Whippy. I don't expect to ever catch back up again because:

1. It's too big a gap
2. I have a busy day today and a busy week
3. Charlie has a LOT of time off coming
4. I just don't care.

Mostly, you could replace all the other reasons with #4.

That's not to say I won't come and do a little postwhoring when I can.

 

[sm4him]

Oh wait.

You can't do a LITTLE postwhoring.

 

[Gary A.]

I've always wanted to open up a Beer/Wine/Coffee type shoppe. Near a college, limited but mouthwatering menu and local entertainment.

 

[sm4him]

On top of the fact that I had a busy day planned today, my body has decided to attack me--started with a sneezing fit this morning and it's gone WAY downhill since then.

 

[sm4him]

I think I have contracted PWV.
PostWhoring Virus.

I feel like...Jam.
