I think it's crazy that LazyLabradorRecords is bidding on one of my auctions.

That is all.

Do people actually buy their crap? People bidding on Blink182 stuff...

Nothing I want goes on eBay nowadays.

Did RFC ever press We Are Everywhere? I'm out of the loop.

I think I have an extra Panopticon and which Jesu did you want? You can get some Godflesh for cheap on eBay or through the label, depending on what you want.

Aural has Ascension up for pre-order right now.

Oh hello. Nice.

If you're really serious about learning it, go study abroad. Best way to actually learn a language is to use it in its natural environment. Typically what you learn in books isn't the actual way people talk. Find random French people on Skype and ask if they'll help you (that's if they actually understand English...)

And definitely watch French films, no dubbing, and French television, and listen to French music. Whatever you can do to absorb the culture will help.

My theory on why Scandinavians, the Dutch, and the Swiss know so many languages and speak them fluently is because they watch films and television in the language it was recorded in while the French and Germans dub just about everything they import.

Ah....China. Sorry, I just got your PM. What I did when I was there was torrents worked for me most of the time and if not, I proxied it so I was basically connected through China to America. UCLA has this VLN thing that I used too.

Where are you at right now? If you're in Shanghai, let me know so I can get you my friends' #s. Oh yeah. Don't go to Bank of China. Use Merchants Bank. That way you can actually buy shit on the internet (like book cheap airline tickets...)

Man. If you were there LAST year, I'd actually be there but I'm back stateside now.

Most expats proxy everything so they access fbook, blogspot, twitter like that. Good luck with waiting for that stuff to get unbanned...Facebook was working when I was there but then Xinjiang happened and that went to hell.

Is Cricket Wireless the same as Coors Amphitheater way back when? Man, I have been out of SD for way too long.

Go to Pokez. And of course swing by an In-n-Out.

So is this good? I'm out of the loop with new shit.

Couchsurfing! Check that. I don't know how popular it is in the States yet but it's way useful since I've been traveling.

Sorry about your buddy bailing but hey, it's Isis, and you could always try the homeless approach too. Nobody gives a shit

in the end, he spoke it out.

so sad....

Haha, so much for three days right? Quick bulletin from yesterday!

It's unfortunate I'm not at the reunion shows

Most likely won't be able to get my hands on this.

This any good? Won't be able to hear it for awhile still.

i can't drink coffee after 1 pm because it will make my eyes blow all the night....

No way. Thai coffee is not that strong.

Got the green Beloved and I think the brown marble Zao. Stoked for Beloved!

Is it tour only? Hmmm...

Fucking bummer. I'm in Loei right now. Won't be in BKK until after Songkran.

Oh sweet shit. The one day that I decide to check VC, good news.

Adam, please save me a HWC/PB. Abroad at the moment.

Gay.

I didn't get a link and I'm on the mailing list. Bah.

Down to pay now and receive later.

In-n-Out win. Going to get it 2nd thing after I get back. Burritos come first.

BEST THING EVER SAID ON THIS BOARD.

I should get a test press for it. As long as it's before Wednesday, I'm good. 12 hour flight home is whack.

after some deep thoughts and a delicious meal from in n out im leaning towards putting up ordering sometime soon-ish HOWEVER they would NOT be shipping until after christmas given the current busyness of the usps. just getting everything packaged and then drop it off the the post office right after christmas. media mail is my worst enemy right now and id hate for anything to happen to any of these. thoughts on that idea?

Amazon has a pretty good deal still for the 40d and the 28-135mm IS USM for under $999. For me, the 40d had better options (dual-dial, 6fps, ISO, etc.) but XSi is a good camera. The two don't differ much on image quality. You can also use that extra money you saved to buy a different lens.

I would check about nondigital lenses going on Canon's EOS series. I think you'd need an adapter? As for the newer Canon lenses, the EF-S is only compatible with certain bodies, while EF is compatible with all.

Oh yeah, buy a lens hood!

Ah, so many splits to keep track of.

European economy in recession = stronger dollar = I don't feel so bad ordering from Adagio, Denovali, and all the good European labels.
