Finally got my own con pics developed. The camera that I used was a Fujifilm disposeable. I'm never using a disposable camera or Fujifilm again; the quality of these are apalling.

These are the few that I took that are actually good enough to share. All have been touched up a little but otherwise not edited.

 
As for my life, school is out now, so I'm relaxing.  We'll be going back on the 20th, and I'll have several things to take care of to make sure I stay afloat. Going to take this time to hit all the workable places and try to get a job flexible enough for me to go to while schooling.

I'd rant about how Lindon Labs are going to kill Second Life's economy with their decision to ban "gambling" services there, but my heart isn't in it right now.  Suffice it to say that I don't think they have any idea how much SL is dependant upon those things. And it's not just slot machines getting the shaft either; sploders and lucky chairs are going out too from what I've heard. Every game that pays you something. It's the SL equivalent of dropping a nuclear bomb on wall street.  What makes matters worse is that these places have the highest traffic in world, and there are a ton of buisnesses set up around them that actually have nothing to do with gambling. So yeah, this will hurt everyone. Virtual government is just as much a putz as the real one.

(as an aside note, I'm putting these up because they are just too damn cool. http://www.oddee.com/item_87762.aspx and http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/3112670.stm .  I want to try and meet some of them.)

Went home today, yay! My mother and I saw Spider-Man 3.

It was...freakin' awesome. The casting was spot on, the film was action packed, and the rumors about Venom being in the movie were true! Holy cow, I almost couldn't beleive it. Now I understand why they are saying they spent more on this than any other film. It's got enough material to cover two of them.  I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet, but let me just say that the way the film ended leaves little room for more.  I think this could be the last Spider-Man film, at least for a while.  *sigh* I hope that's not true. It's rare that a superhero film can speak on so many levels.

I also finally finally managed to watch the last Lord of the Rings film today.  I caught it on TV when I got home from Spider-Man. It was..intense. It truly is one of the greatest epics of fiction ever told.  When everyone bowed before the hobbits at the end I almost cried!  

Today was a lot of fun. Tomorrow, I'm going to be busy going through my things in preparation for my parents' moving to the new house.  It's their first land purchase, so I need to keep my eyes open. If I live long enough, I'll be in their position someday.  Need to learn how it's done!   

Well, that is all for tonight my fellow adventurers. May the winds at your back always lead you home.
