BOOK JUNKIE RETURNS

Image is located here.

I have a confession to make. I am excited to say that hey I am a BOOK JUNKIE! I have been one for quite some while. Let me explain. If I go to the Library, a friends house or and where and I see a book I think I am going to like, guess what I buy it, it's always a plus when I like the book( which is most of the time). So I often visit fellow SCAD Classmates blogs on the regular. It's cool to see how things are going for them without out actually talking to them everyday. ( Hey we are all busy now) It is also good to see them still doing there own projects and the cool jobs they have fall into. Now to my point. I was on Ameila's blog( you should check it out it's cool) and she had this post about a book about color and natural palettes and I love any information about natual dyes, colors, etc. So I went out and brought it the same day. I am in love with it not only is it cool I got it for like $8 and free shipping. So if anyone else would like to support my habit, I like fibers, natural dyes, photography, DIY, sewing and what ever else sounds like learning or yeah and Jesus (oops almost forgot, Forgive me:) )

Trying to keep it short: I sold my first DSLR (Rebel XT) to my buddy from Florida who happens to be a skydive instructor. He used it mounted on his helmet to shoot skydivers in a free fall. The mounting plate detached when he opened his chute and both cameras (photo + video) took a fall from approximately 3000 ft. Amazingly, the Rebel survived the fall and my friend is still using it to this very day. It has a crack in the plastic body and the kit lens is a little jerky when zooming, but functional. I'd like to know if there is a similar story or something close to this but I doubt. It might me a world record indeed (for the height of a camera drop which survived). Kudos to canon! PS: New development of the story: it seems that we might be lucky and get to see the video scene too. The guy has the tape somewhere in his files, you can see the moment when it got detached from the helmet and the free fall all the way down to the moment it hit the ground and got smashed. The cameras got separated when he opened the parachute, there was nothing to soften the impact for the Rebel. Estimated velocity: 100-110 mph. Ground was pretty soft but even so, the impact was massive. Stay tuned for the coming video

Holiday Mixer!

My Good friends from High school hosted their second annual Holiday Mixer. It free food and drinks but to get in you have to bring a toy. After they collect all the toys thy donate them to a charity or organization in town. Like the Angel connection and I think the Secret Santa( not sure if that is the right name). I enjoyed my self. So Saturday after I finish sewing my boyfriend and I rushed over to the mixer before they ended. I had a great time. I was really sorry I could not bring my professional camera and take pictures, but I got you next time guys. Good Job! Can't wait until next year

Without further ADIEU!

We were almost finished those outfits for the Christmas Contata. I think next time we will do it the way I normally make clothes. Cut everything, then iron and everything, and sew everything.

Don't they look beautiful. Great Job Cuz!

Good job Marcus ( I think that is his name) He is an awesome musician and he and some other musicians are starting a jazz club here in town. They will play on New Year's eve, unfortunately I will be in church, but next time.

Ok I am suppose to be working, but My cousin is having some fun with my camera

This past weekend was quite busy so let me recap. Well in a previous post I mention the outfits my cousin and I were making for the Christmas Cantata. So we finished of course and they look pretty good, despite all the stains, weird stitches and other issues. The Cantata was really nice and the girls were so happy to be made up and dancing.

WHERE IS MY BLOG LIST?

This image is located here.

I have so much to blog about but was very upset on Friday because I accidentally deleted my whole blog list. I was HOT! I was mad at my self. I was trying to add a new blog to the list and then realized that I wanted to also follow and and just wanted to change right quick and WHAM BAM DELETE. Now what really burned me up was that there was no way to recover it. I looked it up and look it up and the only thing I found told me I have to rebuild the list. I now I was just annoyed. You mean to tell me you can find old emails some where in cyber land but I can not recover a list of about 20 blogs. Yeah I was so annoyed I was like let me go to wordpress because I could not send an email to anyone( or at least I could not find the email to send). So now I am over it now. So I will blog about the rest of the events of the weekend later. I hope all who are reading this are having a good day. Oh hey if you have anything like this ever happen to you leave me a comment and let me know
