another 10-15 inches of snow tonight/tomorrow. Geez, i am really getting practice in snow shooting. I think sometimes i could use more though as designer posted about shooting in the snow i can relate, and a lot of my snow pics look horrible. Too dark and i don't want to use the flash. Or it is just landscape so the flash is useless.

.. as designer said a lot of my snow pics look horrible.

I don't recall having written that.

I said KITTEN Bowl.

I suppose I should be rooting for New England, but Tom Brady is a massive tool, so I really don't give a crap who wins this one. I'm only watching it to get one last football fix until August.

At least there's still hockey for a while.

Last time I was self-employed, I fired myself.

Hell... I almost didn't hire myself!

Love him but I can see how a NY'er would feel differently!

I adore my K1000. I bought in new in 1993 from Service Merchandise and it has been with me ever since, though 2 ex-boyfriends, 6 countries, and a whole bunch of states. You'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands to ever get it away from me. The thing is a tank. It took a tumble off a stone wall and landed on concrete on the top plate and this didn't affect the operation at all. It feels balanced in the hand, just a solid camera. Oh and that mirror thwap

It's bare bones. There is nothing automated about it. It does have a light meter that runs on a battery, but the camera works without the battery. And the Pentax 50mm f1.7 is a fantastic lens.

The K1000 is without a doubt the best non "pro" 35mm body ever built.

since i am from new england . i have to go with the patriots. Not that i really care much but it is a regional thing. If i had money on the game i would probably care more. i might watch for the commercials.

i am just really wanting a new toy. I keep resisting because i haven't had a income in like eight months and am living off savings. So technically i am poor. But it is really tempting to not be responsible and just buy stuff anyway.

We in this household still call the coach by his nickname: Bill Belicheat.

 

[bribrius]

we all know who is going to win. Lets cut to the chase...

i might watch for the commercials.

Many people do. It's almost considered mandatory viewing by some.

Personally, I think it's about 50/50 between winners and losers in the commercials. Any by "winners" I don't mean that I actually LIKE them, just that they're not completely obnoxious.

We regularly DON'T watch the halftime show because it's just more dumbness piled on top of dumbness.

And the level of football is not always great either. My son calls it the "Stupid Bowl".

 

[tirediron]

That's the game with the brown, pointy ball?

Ahhh the lovely flavor of sour grapes.

For the record, my dislike of Tom Brady has nothing to do with me being from NY. He's got a very unattractive personality. Like I said, he's a tool.
