So glad football season is here. With the Yankees struggeling to stay afloat, I needed a diversion from baseball, and what could be a better diversion than football? Im happy to report that I won in my fantasy football league this week. I won 79-59 despite piss poor performances by Corey Dillon and Marvin Harrison. Hopefully the kick things up a notch in week 2.
Saw a strange incident last night. Rachel and I were out to dinner at a near by Mexican(t) restaurant and once a week they have kids night. I'm guessing that this past week; kids night was on Monday because there were several helium baloons stuck up on the ceiling. The ceiling was an open ceiling that was about 15-18 feet up. About half way through our dinner, the hostest who seated us began looking up at all the baloons. A few minutes later, she came out with a helium balooon of her own with a good deal of riibbon on the bottom and what appeared to be double sided tape on the top of the baloon. She stood under the balloon and released it towards the ceiling. After about 2-3 minutes of moving the baloon around, a manager came out and gave her some pointers. At this point, several people in the restaurant, myself included were sitting with mouths agape watching this girl try to "fish" for baloons. Well I guess whatever her manager told her did the trick because shortly after their talk she actually successfully hooked a baloon from the ceiling with her "sticky" baloon. When she did this, I had the sudden urge to give her a round of applause. She moved on and removed several other baloons. I was very impressed.
We were out tonight and Rachel's phone beeped like she had received a text or voice message. She looked at her phone and it was a strange text message that read something like "I'm getting married on Sunday, and you're invited. It will be a small wedding, no need to bring a gift, just bring someone for me to marry". It came from a strange numbered address. And the weirdest part about it was that the message showed up as coming in at around 4:00 AM on Sept 11, which wasn't for another 8 hours or so. Plus it didn't come in as the newest message in her inbox, it came in as like the 4th message in her inbox. Just thought it was odd.
Got an invite to take an intermediate photography class through Nikon. I feel like I can use some work in the area of composition so I'm seriously considering taking it. I know the basics about apertures, ISO, shutter speed, white balance etc., so I think it's time to take things to the next level. I'll often see something outside or around the house and I'll grab my camera and take a few shots from different angles. Then when I look at them, they often times don't come out quite the way I envisoned them. When I look through magazines I see so many ads and photos shot from all kinds of creative angles, that are just very visually interesting. I look at my photos and I have a few unique and interesting ones, but the majority are just sort of plain and ordinary.
Only problem with the class is that I think you need a digital SLR camera and external flash unit. I have neither, so it may be time for an upgrade :-). Or perhaps they will let you use a loaner camera and flash for the classes. I'll have to call up and find out.
