I bought a desk and an office chair with my Ralph Bucks. It’s surprising how clean my desk stays having drawers and shelves to put things. I spend about half my work week at the desk too, so Amber thought it wise for me to have a comfortable chair. Hey, I’m going to be thirty next month, gotta look out for that back.<\/p>\n
So, I’ve got nearly everything I want in the tech dept. I won a bid on a Canon GL2 today on eBay which makes me very very very very very happy. I have been salivating all over this camera since the spring of 2003. <\/p>\n

Reminds me of something a wise Norweigian teacher once said about dating: If you are wanting to remain chaste in your dating relationship, you have 3 years to make it or break it: get married, break up, or say ‘uncle.’ I either had to move on from this matter of the heart or put out – so to speak. Fortunately, I worked a deal with Impact Ministries and so they are chipping in so I can use this camera in my work, but it would be mine. <\/p>\n
The other thing I’m missing is my sound system that is sitting in Canada. The little creative speakers up on the desktop don’t really cut it – though my Sony headphones are quite rich.<\/p>\n
What’s present on the desk (I’m a list person – love making lists)? iMac G5, Samsung 17″ Monitor, Canon ZR50 miniDV Camcorder, 40GB iPod, Canon i450 printer, Epson Perfection 1650 Scanner, Nokia 1108b Cellular Phone, Kodak Easyshare DX6340 3.1 Megapixel digital camera, 3 external hard drives totalling 510 GB, 12″ PowerBook G4, Sony MDR-XD300 Headphones, and those Creative Speakers. I have a pretty special wife to let me accumulate these toys. She uses this stuff too though, and she’s pretty keen on coming with me to which ever film festival I get my film into.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
