Contrastique Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Holidays count-down? Berlin or Bust in a week? Btw, I have a hunch that the ATP-RLC is a scam by RoVo, the shit is defective or the combination doesn't work. If so I'm not surprised that fotohuis stays quiet also looks like he's been semi-banned. I got the ATP & RLC straight from Maco so Rovo has nothing to do with that. It appears he's not able to post about the ATP no more as he's been sort of acused of shilling. I sent some sample negs to Rollei 2 weeks ago and they said they were overexposed. Well, they were not really, one even underexposed but they contained a white spot as the contrast when shot was too high. In that too light part the "solarization" became appearant. The film-develop combo seems to be overly sensitive to this and therefor reacting the way it did. They sent me a test kit containing 4 ATP's and Rollei DC developer. Have to give that a go...The Berlin films were developed in HC110 as I know the results from that combo is what I'm after and just to be sure they don't get screwed up again by the RLC..
Salt Peanuts Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Spent 2.5 hours washing and drying a big comforter at a laundromat. Now trying to write a letter of interest for a position I'm applying for at my work.
jinp6301 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 woke up, checked email, ate, called UPS, got pissed off at UPS, shouted at UPS, read a bit of Ulysses, did some practice GRE questions and will prob do more practice sets later on and go on a run sometime at night
JBLoudG20 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks. I'm not sure where things are going right now, so I try my best not to think about it. Got a busy weekend planned with bbq after bbq and some UFC, so I think I'll be good at least until next week.

laxx Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Going to stop by B&H since I'm getting off soon and it's one of the only days I have time to go. Hoping I won't fall in love when I ask to try out the 70-200 f2.8 IS. =T Well, I'm primarily going to pick up either a Sto-fen or a Lumiquest, not entirely sure which I want as of now, but probably leaning towards the Sto-fen as it's not as pronounced (awkward looking). Then hitting up Seaport to grab some drinks with friends. Not sure what after though as some of them are going to party and I'm not down with paying $75 for 1 bottle of Grey Goose ($75 a person per 5 person group). Last time I did that it ended up being close to $200 a person. I hate the party scene.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 I get up at 7, yeah, ...and I go to work at 9. I got no time for livin', I'm workin' all the time. I get home at five o'clock And I take myself out a nice, cold beer Always seem to be wonderin' Why there's nothin' goin' down here. Seems to me I could live my life much better than I think I am. I guess I'm a workin' man.
aardvark baguette Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Arrived at work at 6:30. Probably get home at 5:00. Fuck I'm tired.
Contrastique Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Sigh, just had my first working day today...ow well, pretty nice day though. When I got home the man who's gonna paint and fix my darkroom walls had arrived to check things out. He's starting coming monday yeay!!!! Cooked some dinner and at 9 the guy arrived who was gonna talk to me about my retirement fundings (as in, do you wanna stop working earlier...uhmmm YEAHHH! so how do you plan to pay for that....like that kind of stuff)...always something that makes you happy Good conversation though, pretty clarifying the things I unconciously already knew. The rest of the evening will be tunes and wine, not too bad
riceboy Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Did a bunch of work today since we have the day off on the 4th. Ordered a bunch of stuff for everyone in the dept from Cyberguys yesterday. First time I'm ordering things from them. I can't wait to get all my goodies . Watched some of the Matrix Reloaded on HD-DVD, but noticed that the disc had a hard time reading sometimes and would stop during certain parts of the movie. I'm going to try and contact Amazon and see if they could help me exchange it. I never had this type of issue before with a HD-DVD. It is practically brand new since it was the first time I've watched it. Other than that just getting ready for the 4th holiday.
randerson3024 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 The real question is what to do tomorrow, my "day off" at sea, other than reading, listening to music, and eating shitty food, I suppose I could see how many times I can jerk off without any nutrients or water.............................God, I need a vacation, my car, and my fucking Magnepans!
Contrastique Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Jeezz I actually got scammed at work today The guy bought an album of
MrSlacker Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 I have seen that done in movies many times... sucks that it happened to you
riceboy Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Posted July 5, 2008 I have seen that done in movies many times... sucks that it happened to you Yeah it does suck, but I'm hoping that I can at least just get that one disc exchanged or I'll do some research and see what others have done in my situation. Have a Happy 4th.
grawk Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Drove to carlisle to visit wife's relatives. Not a bad day, but a long one.
aardvark baguette Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Caught up on some much needed sleep.
tyrion Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Beach with wife, lunch and some beers at the Mellow Mushroom, mall to buy daughter some clothes to send to college, home for a couple and then dinner. Back home, putting on a bit of a buzz listening to Bitches Brew.
Absorbine_Sr Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Continued work on a landscaping project that I need to finish before I can move out.
boomana Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Got up, went to the gym and worked out, came home and ate, then accidentally took a 6-hour nap. Can't remember the last time I did that. Woke up cranky like a little kid. Now, I can't sleep. This doesn't bode well for tomorrow.
grawk Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Took my kids fishing with my father in law. Going to go with them down to the apple store later and get them a pair of macbooks.
tyrion Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Downloading music, assisting my wife in cleaning up my sons reptile area, bathed the bearded dragon and hung out with the snake. I also did a 1/3 water change in my aquarium.
tyrion Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 "bathed the bearded dragon" just has to be a euphemism for something... Nope, this is Nibbler:
