They say Han shot first. The backstory is that Han is a criminal and kind of a douchebag, and I guess him shooting first is supposed to illustrate that. I think the lesson here is that good people do bad things. Or… bad people do good things. Maybe it’s that people can change? I sometimes suck with subtleties.
St. Patty’s day (set me straight here, is it Patty’s, or Paddy’s?) comes and goes once again. I can’t say it was anything special for me… not to sound cynical or anything, I think I just didn’t make the most of it. But I am starting to warm to the idea of celebrating for the sake of it, in general. I hope that doesn’t piss off any green-beer enthusiasts. Tomorrow is Thursday.
Nikon school is coming to town. Many people say it’s well worth the $120 or whatever it is, but I’m not sure it holds that kind of value for me at this point. Don’t get me wrong, I expect there’s a thing or two I could learn just not… necessarily that much. I looked at battery grips today too. Turns out the D80/D90 version includes an extra on/off switch, ‘firing release’ (the universal ‘take-a-picture’ button), and 2 command dials (std. aperture/shutter speed rotators) all specifically for vertical shooting. People claim it balances the weight of the camera too. More crap I don’t need, I know, but it’s nice to dream about. The Zeikos version scored about the same as the Nikon oem and costs half… fyi.
Cheers, Guiness drinkers. Happy Leprechaun day.
That would be Happy Leppy Day to you.
