too many things to update!
ahhh...the world is too connected! between facebook, twitter, and a general lack of enthusiasm, its hard to keep up with posts. im essentially posting about the same topics repeatedly through too many different medias, each less well-written than the last. the obviously preferred medium now is twitter, where laziness is actually encouraged. then again, everybody and their sister is now a twitterer...heh, i guess like a few years ago, when everybody and their sister had a livejournal. i stick with all of them however, since its fun being an early adopter (tho the main motivator for being an early adopter is really so i get to reserve my preferred usernames).
but whatever...this year, which i had pretty much written off as total shit early on, is shaping up to be a pretty good year. it could even be as rockin' as last year...which by all accounts, was pretty damn rockin'. in the last few weeks or so, ive agreed to shoot my friends wedding, planned a prague trip in september with a friend, picked up a new canon 5d mark II (oh noes, im a traitor!), and am flying off to atlanta to visit g+r over the 4th of july weekend...whew.
BAI BAI NIKON
first and foremost, yep...i have bailed on the nikon camp and am now firmly on the canon team. this is in no part a fault of nikons...i still <3 nikon. but most of my friends use canon, and i wouldnt mind terribly borrowing their vast array of lens. it was also a good time to switch (if i needed to) since i only had digital lens, and with the purchase of my first full-frame...its a good a time as any to start fresh. so my first official canon lens is the spanky canon 17-40mm...woot. i dont have it yet however, tho i have the body. its a pretty nice and expensive paper-weight til the lens arrive.
HELLO PRAGUE
and then theres prague...word...prague...woot. id never been, and honestly hadnt thought about visiting til a friend recommended it. and then it was an instant "fuck yes" in my head. its still a ways away tho...september, sigh...

more ideas...
yay, its getting nice out again. although shitty weather will occasionally roll thru with little to no warning. mother natures being a dill. but we did have brunch this past sunday at mogador with anna and sally, then an afternoon stroll around east village with a pit stop at alphabet scoop for some ice cream. later at night was dumpling night at my place with di and caroline, where i taught them the fine art of dumpling wrapping. they of course ignored most of my instruction, and just made whatever shape and form they wanted...blargh. we ate the whole batch tho...yum. and now its monday again. tho i woke up thinking it was sunday. that was suck.
oh, but i did make more revisions to my planned wall coloring. ive decided to also add some custom graphics! which will ideally be printed and sent to me because fuck if im going to paint those.
oh...and since id expect the same of people using my work, the living room tree design is by dragon artz.

what to do...
the good thing about doing architectural 3d viz for a living is...hey, when it comes time to figuring out ur own apartment, you can just render it! which is actually what i shouldve done when i first got my apartment...i mightve actually figured out way beforehand that my kitchen "workstation" was retardedly oversized (its now my computer desk). but hey...springs sort of here, and i said that id paint my walls when that happened. so now its time to pick a color. ive got friends for and against the various colors im looking at (orange, dull blue, hunter green, chocolate, striped variants, etc). the grayish neutral colors kind of say "hey...im an adult, and ive got a mortgage, and im totally responsible" while the bright orange says "fuck, im 30??". and lets be honest...we know which camp im in. but i need input eh. im currently leaning towards the "30-something denying" orange, but could be convinced in any direction really...

haruhi s2
the second season of haruhi is in full effect...word! they secretly snuck it into the 're-airing' of the first season. the marketing team behind haruhi is admittedly a little fucked in the head, with all their retarded antics, but whatever...season 2 is on. the first episode can be found if you hunt a bit for iso's....
and for those wondering what the fuck is up with something like haruhi, id say its a choice example of the heights an anime can achieve...original, intelligent, well-written, funny, and not full of robots and/or panty shots...yea. tho they do stuff asahina into bunny/maid/nurse outfits...

lengthy recap, and star trek!
bi-monthly recall...heh. well ive given myself over to keeping my runabouts in my iphone, so its alot easier to recall what ive done now as a result...woot! there were various din meetups with various people...brunch with sean and anna in the upper east side after their baptism, mediterranean din with kayako in the upper west side, din with jess, m's bday at shebeen, belgian beer with the korean posse at vol de nuit, mal's going-away drinky's at dba, belated bday din with m at oh taisho!, and finally....star trek! whew. oh, and ya...house (warming) party at saras in bklyn. it just sounded more dramatic with that long recap ending on star trek and all. and hrmm...yea, that was a long recap. i guess theyre usually shorter because i forget nearly everything and don't bother noting 50% of the things i do. ah well.
STAR TREK
yea, it rocked. thats my review. i just dont feel like writing any kind of lengthy exposition about its strengths, weaknesses, whatever. what i will say is that the fine art of getting to the theaters hours before the showing during premiere weekend seems like a dead/dying art. i was the first in line! thats just wrong...especially since i got there "late" only an hour and a half before the showtime. tsk tsk...lost art....

Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable'
the onion gave the new star trek movie a pretty scathing write-up, saying it makes too much sense and isnt shit enough for die-hard trekkies. sad...=(
