Well, I asked a few of my other fan friends about the shaky camera work in ST, and a few of them actually thought it added realism to the scenes that had a lot of explosions in them.

what about shaky cameras during the non-action scenes and close ups? when I took a film class we were told to use a tripod to keep the camera steady during close ups to prevent the viewers from getting dizzy or sick

having money is ****ing great. bought a new pair of shoes, and a 2 terabyte hard drive. and still have money in the bank and getting paid tomorrow. hell yeah.

so far the cool things i bought here:

xbox 360 -$300
hdmi cable for it $40
metal gear solid hd collection $30
nikon digital camera $150
helmet camcorder $100
2 terabyte hard drive $120
new pair of running shoes $120

god knows what else i'll buy when im here. so far i dont need anything else that costs money!

plus...all my bills are gonna be paid off by may, only stuff i gotta pay is my student loan, car insurance, and rent. rent is hardly anything lol. then i just gotta save my money for when i get home, going on a week vacation with my friends and then either back to college or onto the better life; active duty. we'll see about the active duty though since they freezed hiring, but since im already on active duty orders, it may be easier to get in. im really hoping so cause this is what i really want to do, though i can get away with my little apartment and getting paid to go to school, i just dont see the point when i can do better for myself and my country. but eh, national guard does have many options for active duty status, but my fear is not being able to do my mos scout stuff, or having to reclass.

you lost it?It expired on my birthday last June... and I apparently never took it out and looked carefully at it since long before that, because I've been driving around on it this whole time.

It took a TSA agent at Logan airport to actually point these facts out to me. Of course, I was leaving for 10 days in Florida at the time, so there was little I could do about it until after I returned.

EDIT:
It looks like I've suddenly stopped getting any email notifications about activity on this thread. Anybody else having this problem?

back to my workout routine with n.o. explode 2.0 advanced strength. pushups/situps/run haha gonna own the pt test when i get home.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier is ****ing brilliant. lots of stealth killing and action. watched my buddy play it for a few he's playing it on easy mode and there are many missions. i'm on elite mode and it is challenging enough for me but enjoyable at the same time. i'm stuck on halo 4, haven't played in about a week. almost beat the old republic's main story with my agent. that game is addicting too. :) need more advanced armor so i can be competitive in pvp..i really miss pvp.

making alot of changes to my mentality of life this month...making myself a better person, better soldier, and going to follow my dreams and fight for what I want in life, it got me this far and so far it was way more than worth the fight. (talking about what I had to go through to get back in the military, and back onto the dmd list for this deployment) active duty is more physically demanding, so going to spend alot of time in the gym and hardcore dieting, also listening and taking initiative so I can end up running some of these missions we're doing.

Did you ever have braces? I did, but it seems the bottom teeth are shifting back a bit, and he wants me to get invisiline or a retainer or something and wear it for life. That sounds terrible, though.

Did you ever have braces?No.

I did have both my baby teeth and adult growing in at the same time. A double row of teeth, like a shark. But somehow everything grew in straight. My impacted wisdom tooth pushed everything together before I got it out, but it didn't seem to have a permanent effect.

I dunno... as far as my teeth go, I was pretty blessed and lucky. I never even had a cavity... and I used to take pretty lousy care of them.

My cat has caught cabin fever.

When I came home from work and if he is normally in the garage he escapes out the back cat door. It was frozen shut, so he ran up the opposite side of my 2-door garage and went back out. I had to call to him from the back porch and he was over in the neighbors yard and came romping in a hurry through the 12 inch deep snow we have.

After a bit to eat (he had not been fed since 2pm and it was now 930pm) he started attacking his scratching chair, and went over to his toy box to complain. Yes, Daddy had to play with him. So i got one of his toys out (the Felt cat-o-nine tails) and played with him. after a 5 minutes of that I had to play hide and seek with him. After giving chase he would hide, and a few minutes later he would come out and wait for me to give chase again.

Finally let him out again after he realized there was no door to summer

update: just let him back in and he is now curled up and purring in my lap. makes being a cat owner worth it

Snow is coming. They seem very reluctant to cancel all the weekend shows despite the fact we are supposed to get hammered. At the very least a foot everywhere. 2 feet in a lot of places. Maybe even 3 feet in a couple of spots.

Power outages, 50-60 mph winds, and and coastal flooding are expected.

So of course I'm going to make it to work! Why wouldn't I?

Should be a fun weekend...

My winter boots are crappy. Gonna run out this morning and buy a new pair before we are all buried alive. Maybe another bag of ice melt... if I can actually find any.

College is closed today and the show tomorrow was postponed. They still want to try to do the Sunday show. I think that's optimistic. The city was shut down for about 4 days in '78's blizzard... and this one is predicted to be worse.
