707 music night

music nights at 707 are always fun. all three bands were great; most of these are the guys from Jazz to Moon Base 2, since Scott requested some pictures.

I've been busy (as I told a friend today) trying to have a real job and a real summer. My motorcycle is definitely helping... it lets me live in Champaign and work in Danville, as long as there are no rainstorms. Today there was a rainstorm, so I fixed every little indicator light and turn signal on the motorcycle. Next I fixed my little brother's crazy crazy computer so that I could do this.

I applied for a new loan today, too. Loans make my chest feel heavy. Honestly, I really really don't like debt. Unless I'm a freak, other people must feel the same way... which means a lot of people have built an immunity or resistance to it. I hope I never do that.

So, the pictures are from my phone, and did not touch Photoshop. They did, however, make great friends with one of my pals, the GIMP - GNU Image Manipulation Program. http://www.gimp.org/ Its not from Adobe, but when you are using your little brother's crazy computer, its hard to beat the totally free, open-source alternative.

The boat is Andrew's. I helped a little with installing the the wakeboarding tower, which makes the boat at least 10000000x as fun as it was without it. If you want to go with us, call me. We go a lot, and he's a "more the merrier" kind of guy.

Hi! Oh, my camera is broken again.

Sunscreen + Picture - Careful Hands = Shattered LCD

@#$%@#$%@#$%@#$%@!#$%!@#$@#$%@#$#$%@#$%

So now, either (a) Canon is super cool and it's cheap to fix, or (b) I use it on auto-mode with no LCD for perilous photo-ops, and finally jump into SLR.

when you break your camera, you go back through old pictures
