WTF Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 lol I got so caught up posting soundtracks. However you can tell a person by their handwriting unlike their avatar, Dean . Though a more feminine handwriting doesn't necessarily mean it's a good handwriting . For instance my wife has a very feminine handwriting but I write better than her when I write properly. I had a really crap system of going to various schools under different education systems. So I was never taught how to hold a pen, since back then in the British schooling system run by progressive public schools the importance wasn't on how to hold your pen but to teach them to write... Anyways I hold a pen like machine rather than normal human hands which also means if need be I can use just two-three fingers to write. I'm also ambidextrous but I write in block with my left hand and cursive with my right. Regardless it is true about the professional thing, it's not because most can't write properly it's just you don't have time to write it out neatly. I do write neatly when I'm not pressed for time. I can also use my feet to write (pick up things, etc) which freaks my wife out completely... Both my parents have very good handwriting. My mom went to a convent school and my dad went to schools that emphasized on sports. My dad writes exceptionally better than me and my mother in terms of handwriting [in terms of quality it's debatable since I've had to correct the stuff he wrote for company reports several times (when I worked under him as a teenager)]. I'm fortunate to have good handwriting but that's because we had to practice writing cursive for 4 years and were graded on it. I'd like to think I write better Sanskrit than English though.

Hot Heart Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Play.com had too many DVDs for £3. I couldn't help myself. - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm - The Big Sleep - Planes, Trains & Automobiles - I Love You, Man - Serpico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm I still say this and Return of the Joker are the best Batman movies made in any medium. For me: Borders had a 50% off sale this weekend and I got a bonus at work. I now own all the classic Disney animated films currently out on Blu-Ray. Here's hoping that they continue the stream of the classics as I didn't buy most of them on DVD. I now own this film on Laserdisc, DVD and Blu-Ray. My brother owns it on Selectavision (CED) and Betamax and my father owns it on VHS and colorized on VHS. Crazy? Maybe a little but it is a great, great film in my top 10 films of all time.

WTF Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Needed some DSLR equipment since I'm getting rid of some older ones in preparation for the REDs later this year. So here was my purchase from yesterday. It's an EOS 7D. I did wonder if I should get the 5Dmk3 when it comes out next month but decided against it since I needed a few new lenses and pretty much have adapters for future purposes anyways. I got the lens in the picture (no it does not come stock, body and lens were bought separately). I'm also currently expecting this--> to arrive soonish. That's basically an EF 16-35mm f 2.8L USM Mk2. The earlier one was a 50mm 1.4L USM if you couldn't see in the image. If anyone's purchasing a DSLR I'd recommend against the new rebel t3i or 600d (depending on where you live). While the T2i/550D pretty much gives quality similar to an HVX200m and is similar to the 7D on a much weaker body and for someone on a really low budget the 7D is better when you look at the various cinematography options. Even as a purely photography camera it's still pretty good. Also I'd only recommend things like the 5D mk2 to the hardcore of photographers/videographers unless you've got a lot of money to spare. I am going to get this one sometime this year --> with a lot of different modules and other bits and bobs. Not everything is finalised as yet. I just enjoy shooting for 4K really. To be honest it's still a lot better than the arriflex d20 from personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 p.s. I just wondered. Wouldn't it be better if we started to post pictures of purchases like actual pictures instead of stock images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Well 9/10 the thing you've bought looks exactly the same as the stock image. And usually the stock image is like 600*600 or smaller compared to the multi-megapixel image you'd take yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 In addition to the stock pictures being smaller, they also usually look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Biographies are 60% off at my store, but I didnt have a lot of money. I need to buy more stuff. I also bought 4 bottles of the syrup we used in the cafe: sugar free hazelnut, cookie dough, sugar cane, and cinnamon swirl(cinnabon). Pretty good for a dollar each.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 You should see if they have any almond syrup. Almond syrup and milk is completely lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Depends Stock images could look better or worse depending on the user of the camera. What I was saying was effectively, there must be people out here who could take pictures of their purchases. Not to mention pictures of purchases often do look better than stock images. I'd refer to the things like pick up threads on Gaf or others. It varies from individual to individual though. Most people can take good pictures and frame them right.

CorgiShinobi Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I've thought of taking pictures of some of my purchases... Then I get lazy and Google Image the product instead of pulling out my camera and inserting the SD card into my laptop, and then uploading it to Photobucket.

But my father used to do that and right now it's interesting to look at them and it sort of takes you back on a trip through time. Not just because of the products but because of what's in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Usually I get games and movies, so if I were to take a picture, my lovely background would be a white table. I liked the Post Your Game Area thread because everyone got to see the behemoth I use to store my games, movies, books, and various knickknacks.

But I'm sure eventually you'll post it next to the boxes or whatever it came in maybe. XD. Stores and services do shut down after a long while sometimes.

Battra92 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Well today I picked up Tangled (the Blu Ray + DVD set) at Worst Buy and got the free plush toy for my fiancee. So we're planning on watching it tonight ... but TCM is showing Jean Harlow movies tonight. Good thing I hooked up that old DVD recorder.

CorgiShinobi Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I pre-ordered Tangled on Amazon and it has since been shipped as of yesterday. I'll probably receive it in the mail by Thursday. Tangled really is a great Disney movie. I figured it would be an alright flick for what it was, but didn't expect it to appeal to me. Well, I went to the Dollar Theater with some friends and, to my surprise, it was highly entertaining. I know I've stated my opinion of Tangled before on TAY at least twice. Just, I mean, I like how my perception of the film was incorrect once I saw it. Like, I dunno, raving about a friend you thought you'd never get along with or something!

Battra92 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well we watched it and it was good; it's certainly not the best but it's miles above the crap Dreamworks puts out. Now I'm finishing out the night with Buster Keaton in Our Hospitality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
