  1. You should be happy. We pay $65 + tax for a 3 mbit line. I say a silent prayer every time I can get a 2 mbit burst.
  2. Happy birthday sir
  3. Happy birthday
  4. I walked past it numerous times during the two days I was there however I was full at all times. Looked like you needed fancy pants to go in.
  5. Can't pain walls at penn state but I'm suited up and ready to go. Sister graduating in an hour. Congratulations mike and Greg.
  6. Yesterday blew horse cock, to say the least. Woke up sick as hell to miserable weather. Got into the city pretty early and wasn't dressed for the wind/cold incessant rain throughout the day. Then some asshole shoved me into a street corner pole and trashed my new leica 50mm lens. Police officer looked at it and said it looked too shitty to be worth 2k and walked away. Today, I slept in a bit hoping to rest and try to kick whatever I am afflicted with. Met up with Colin for lunch at Jackson Hole which was quite pleasant. Caught the subway down to the World Trade Center which was a little underwhelming. No passes were available for the memorial so I wasn't able to go inside which was disappointing. Walked around the financial district for a bit and then continued on the bus tour I had purchased yesterday. Took me back north of Rockefeller Plaza and walked around there for a bit. Met up with parents at Times Square and then went to Grand Central Terminal to catch the subway back south to the Staten Island Ferry. Took the Ferry to and from Staten Island after walking about the terminal on the Staten Island side for bit. The fog was so thick, I couldn't see anything beyond a 200 feet. Things were fairly dead - either due to the weather (which seemed gloomy to me) or maybe it was just too early in the evening (8pm). Got to listen and watch some amazing musicians who were all told to leave the premises at some point or another, which was also unfortunate. There was one guy playing the drums on a plastic bucket and was varying the sound by holding it between his legs and raising them off the floor at different angles. Now back at dad's apt in NJ. Seem to have something going on under my right foot. Painful mass which isn't blistering. Just to the right of my big toe on the ball of my foot. Won't be home for a few days. Praying that it doesn't get any worse. Weather website said the sun was going to be out today. It lied. Only difference between today and yesterday was that it wasn't raining. Now off to bed. Leaving for Penn State to visit with my sister super early tomorrow morning. She graduates day after so have to help her pack and what not.
  7. Just got to my dad's place a little while ago. He got back from China day before yesterday after a month and a half. We didn't get to talk for long as he was already asleep when we arrived. Am not feeling well - allergies or smog or something is bothering the piss out of my throat and nose. Hopefully I'll be better tomorrow. However, I just got checked the grades and all A's so far. Only this morning's grade remains so quite pleased with the way the vacation has started. Couple of days walking around and then will head down to University Park to attend my sister's graduation. I will probably do the outdoors tomorrow. Day after the weather is supposed to be yucky so will probably take the buses/trains around to various museums, libraries, burger joints etc and keep things indoors.
  8. Thanks for all the suggestions. Sitting on my couch for the past hour waiting for our ride because my mom refuses to take a cab or park the car at te airport for a week. Excited but getting in late so don't know how early ill be able to get out tomorrow morning but I think I'll do the trail you suggested ari. Still need to figure out how to get home once I take the ferry to staten island. Probably just take it back and retrace my steps through other parts of manhattan. If a more efficient route is available im all ears.
  9. Extra credit - find a way to make the proofs converge onto a compact space (scantron). have fun Shelly. Good luck to all the dads.
  10. ...Things/Stuff/Places to photograph? I shall be in nyc on the 2nd and 3rd of May. There are all those bus tours one could take and absent suggestions I might just do that. However, if the locals feel my time might be better spent not doing that, I am open to suggestion. If anyone would like to walk around during the day or perhaps meet up for lunch let me know. Any company would be much appreciated. The last time I was in the city was in 3rd grade so I am looking forward to spending the 2 days walking around. Not into the whole club/bar scene (I don't drink or party). Will be at the mercy of public transportation for getting back to dad's apt in little ferry, nj so kindly suggest time appropriate activities/things to do.
  11. Took 3 back to back 2.5 hours finals. One more on Tuesday but that one is cake and I got plenty of time to study for. Non take home final exams are so undergraduate... ps. congratulations to you and yours larry.
  12. that pentax camera color makes me angry.
  13. A different kind of waterfall...
  14. I don't know how much different the s95 is from the s90 but I'll have it with me in nyc in a few days if you want to play with that also.
  15. I'm going to throw in a vote for a fuji x10. While a wee bit thicker than the s95, it focuses closer than the s95, shoots faster, better iq, slightly better dr. You could shoehorn it into a really big pocket...

  17. That must be one bitchin' laptop, Steve. Congratulations Mike.
  18. ISTP. Took the same test in 2004 for an intro psych class. Just pulled up my paper from back then and had the same results back then too. 89% for introverted lol.

    Girls

    Haven't seen it but its on the box. Might give it a look see.
  20. Lovely image Peter. Would you mind sharing how you did that? Just a slow shutter speed or was some filter magic involved? I am guessing maybe some processing too?
  21. saw obama in person give a speech on economic reform at my school. man has swagger.
  22. Signed up for the mcat for August 17th. Dug out my old study plan and tweaked it for 3 months. I don't have the stamina I used to when I was younger. Purchased a bunch of review books. Finished my physics problem set. Read a little further into Michael crichtons micro. Made a salmon in bbq sauce sandwich with sautéed onions and honey wheat bread. It came out absurdly well. I haven't cooked fish much but it seems like a cast iron pan makes everything cook evenly and better. Did laundry and vaccuumed the entire house and wet mopped after. Did the dishes and fixed a leaking faucet in the kitchen. Mom is happy. Not about to enjoy some potato and French beans and a side of lentil from our home town in India (mom just came back from India). Busy day but I have the day off tomorrow to spend with Julie. She has a lot of studying to do so will probably end up reading ahead but really just staring at her the entire time.
  23. happy birthday zach
  24. happy birthday tyler
