New Camera!

     Heynow, I got my camera! I actually got it yesterday after work. It cost more than I thought because of the 4GB SDHC card and the card reader. The total was about $190. Not good but I'll get by. Here's a picture:

     It's a very good quality camera. It has a feature on there the detects smiles and it takes a picture every time someone smiles, that's awesome. I took a lot of pictures just by smiling. Sometimes I quickly switched over to a different facial expression. Anyway, as soon as I get my other prop, I'll start shotting which will probably be next week. I went to Walgreens to get some lotion and saw an 8GB SDHC card and had to get it because of the space I need for the camera for videos. Anyway, I don't have that much cash for the rest of the week so I'll search for the prop later. Maybe I'll get someone to hangout with when looking for it. Maybe I'll ask them to be in it too as a bonus video. Just thinking of conversations that I probably won't have. Have you ever done something like that? Leave a comment if you have. I'm listening to "Ballad of a Thin Man" by Bob Dylan on my iTunes. I sent a few replies on twitter and some have responded. Well, the replies I've sent are to YouTuber's I like. Actually I need to edit a video I shot yesterday to test out on YouTube. I finished editing and uploading now, it slows my computer down so I'll go and come back and give you a link. New Camera Test! Well, It's 11:34PM now, so I'm going to bed now. My life is exciting, goodnight.

I ask a lot of questions that you can't answer.

     Heynow. It's 8:56AM and I'm at work at the moment. I guess this will be an all day blog. I've got work to do but I'm not in the mood to do it. I guess I'll go back and forth with work and play. I still need to pay my rent today. The land lady hasn't been in all weekend. Hopefully I won't have to pay extra since I'm technically late. I've got a check in my pocket with a 2010 date. I'm a good renter. I don't bother them, I'm quite, and I'm usually on time with my rent. I wish everyone would move out of the apartments around me, especially the people above me. They have kids and they like loud music. I don't really care about the other neighbors. One of them are nice and the other are druggies, I think. The boss walked in at around 9 o'clock. Hopefully he won't give me more big work. I guess after this week with the rent check and bills, I'll get the new camera. I'll try and paint something today after work to get some extra money. I gotta get into the mood sometimes to paint. Have the radio on, the overhead dining table light on and have the motivation. I'll make sure to post pictures here for sure and Facebook and my new Twitter account (http://www.twitter.com/erikesemo) Follow me! I'm getting excited about getting the new camera and I need to think of new original funny video ideas. I might do a painting in a time lapse thing again depending on how much time I have on the camera or memory card. I do want to tell you my interactive video idea but I don't want to spoil it. I looked it up and no one has done what I've thought of. It'll all come down to timed buttons and good video editing and I think I'll use the green screen. Which reminds me, I need to find the perfect background. Found it on the first try and the first picture. Now, I'll edit it so it's not exactly the background because of copyright or something. Okay, I fixed up the background and an object that I need to animate. This video may take a couple days to do. I mean I'm doing green screen, I'm animating, I'm timed editing and I'm doing this for free. It might take some time to do but I think when it comes out, it'll be awesome. Hopefully it'll look professional and a lot of people notice it. Oh, it's almost lunch time. I'm back from lunch now. And I have: the background, the objects, and the background music and some sound effects. I think I have all the elements now and all I have to do now is: buy the camera, film it, edit it, and post it. I don't know if I'll even put in the objects but I want it to be great I'll do it. I don't know I'm just expecting a lot of work out of a one or two minute video. I'll have make an intro on how to do it, then do it, then have an outro. So maybe a three minute video. I don't know just expect it to be good. I'll let you know when it comes out and what all I did to make it and how the idea cam about.

     My boss came in from lunch with his girlfriend. I hope they both leave soon. They came in at around 2:45PM and it's been about half an hour since then. I've been working while they have been in my boss's office. It's 3:53PM and I'm guessing it's almost time for them to go. Oh crap, I forgot that I'll need another prop to buy. I hope they have something at Wal-Mart and it's cheap. Because I need the camera, a SD card and then that prop. The camera and SD card are about $150 total. I don't know if I get all three. Maybe I can get the prop the next time I'm there and pay in cash. Ugh. That's for another day. My life is exciting, later.

I joined what?

     Heynow. I'm at my apartment at the moment listening to "I Need You" by The Beatles on my iTunes. This weekend was fun. Oh yeah, Happy New Year! And a new years resolution that I made up, kinda was to start Twitter on 1/1/11, so I did. erikesemo's Twitter FOLLOW ME! and I'll more than likely follow you. So far so good on that one. I guess I'll try and post at least one thing on there for the whole year which doesn't sound impossible at all. I'm one the computer all the time. You never know, I might go off the grid for a day or two. If I don't post anything, it's no big deal. I made another resolution and that's to make some more YouTube videos and hopefully become a partner. That would be cool. Getting paid to make videos. Well, one thing that I could do (but can't because my apartment doesn't allow) is to get a cat, because cats on the internet is gold. All you gotta do is film them and their a hit. Get a couple boxes and stuff for them to play with and film away. I need to look up if I can get a fish or something so I can at least has some sort of pet. I pulled out the contract and I'll look it over. Here's what it has under "Pets. Lessee shall not be allowed pets in or about the premises, unless they have a service dog, and then they will be required to give a pet security deposit of $200.00." That's a bunch of bullshit. I'll ask if I can get a fish or something. If they accept a fish I'll ask if I can get a cat but I doubt either will work. I was hoping I could find a loophole.
     New Years Eve I spent it with my brother and sis-in-law and a one of their friends house, Z. & T. They had a bunch of people over and most of the time me and Casey played guitar. Everyone was pretty cool. I got home at around 4:39AM and woke up in my bed at 3:19PM. I've been home all weekend and it's been nice. Sleeping in, doing choirs, and drinking tea. At the moment, it's 11:11PM, make a wish. I made my wish, I hope it comes true soon. I need to get to bed soon. I did laundry, cleaned my apartment and started a new revolution in my bed, lol. I haven't painted in a while, I've been burnt out on it I guess but I've got four paintings to do and I'll be done for now. I'll try and do one tomorrow. I got my Mountain Window wallpaper up on my wall. It doesn't look all that great and I haven't taken a picture of it yet. I might do that tomorrow too. I put down my Jimi Hendrix black light poster and my Iron Man painting and put it on the other wall. I put the Abbey Road plot out poster in the computer room on my closet door. Everything fits in nicely. I need to end this now and watch my YouTube videos and goto bed. Remember the FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! and I'll follow you. My life is exciting, later.

To get or not to get?

     Heynow! It's 8:47AM and I'm at work. Looks like it'll be an all day work blog. Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to start Twitter on New Years Day. I've had the idea of unveiling it on a new year. Starting new, starting something new to me anyway. Twitter is not new but I have an idea of what it is. It's basically just your Facebook status and you can basically see what all people are doing at that time. I'm setting a goal that I'll post at least on thing a day for a whole year on Twitter. That's probably not much but I don't post everything on Facebook and I don't post one thing on there everyday. If I hear, see, or write a joke I'll post it to be funny. Twitter is telling people what you're doing, if anyone really cares. I don't think any of my family has Twitter so I think I can be a little bit more truthful about things and I can curse. On Facebook, my family and other church people are on there and I have a reputation of being nice or not cursing. Hopefully some good things will come of it.
     Last night I transfered the last of the drawings to canvases and now in the process of painting. I might paint a simple on tonight and then do something else. Last night I did feel productive. I cleaned my kitchen then transfered drawings. After that I played with my helicopter, played Donkey Kong Country on the Wii (I bought it in the Wii Virtual store) and worked on the computer. I was thinking about recording the ukulele song too but didn't have enough time. Bed time was approaching and I had to get some sleep for today. Yesterday at work was a day that I was avoiding work. I just wanted to goof around. I did do some work but it felt like a day that I didn't want to do anything and it worked. Today I have to catch up a bit. A few minutes ago, I remembered that I was going to plan out the plot for the mountain skyline wallpaper. Since it takes a lot of time and Paint.net keeps crashing I've decided to not do it. Besides the picture is too pixelated to see it with good clarity. I don't know, I'll try and figure something out to make it easier. I measured the wall and it's 11'-7" wide X 7'-0" high. I might make it half the wall or have a window frame around the picture so it looks like its a window and you're looking out of it. That sounds cool, right? I think I'll do that. It's still the great view and it's some form of art since I inserted a window frame. I think I'll measure my windows and get the right fit so it'll match my windows. In the meantime, I'll find me some good window frames on Google and Yahoo image search.
     On the picture subject, I was grocery shopping at Wal-Mart after work yesterday and I stopped by the camera section and found that the camera I was thinking about getting is $109 instead of $129. I have some saved up money (Christmas money) and I think I'm going to get it. I do have to get a SD card too. I can't remember how much they are....let me check. Oh, an 8 GB SDHC card is about $20, not bad. Maybe the camera will come with one, like a 4 GB or 2 GB. Dang it, the camera I was thinking of doesn't shoot video in HD. There's a camera that's $50 more but it says that the Middlesboro Wal-Mart is out of stock. I like Canon camera's but there's one Sony camera that's ten dollars less and in stock. I'll check out some reviews on it. So far, the reviews are good. "A great point and shot camera as well as 720p video quality." That's good for me, I'll probably buy it after I pay my rent, pay my bills, and have some extra cash which might be next week. I'm off to lunch now.
     I'm back from lunch. I'm still looking for window frames. Now I remembered that there are bay windows, the ones that have a 3D look to them. I found a good one. I'm going to go home later and measure it. I might save the image on a flash drive and edit it at home then plot it out when I'm ready. Oh, my flash drive is in my truck. I'll just use Photobucket. Ah hell, I'll just get up and get it. Well, I got it and I probably don't need it now. I edited the pictures already. Now I gotta chop it in half and make it into two pictures. Okay now I chopped it up and it's going to be a total 6' wide x 4' high bay / bow window. It's 4:10PM now and I'm about to wrap things up. Hopefully my boss will leave in a few minutes and I'll plot out the "Window Mountain" picture. It's now 4:29PM and I just now started plotting. This may take awhile. Two 72" x 24" sheets of paper with the best quality on type image. I'm going to guess that I'll get out of here about fifteen minutes after five o'clock. I should have done this another day. The first page is about 60% done and it's 5:11PM. I'll be lucky if I get out of here at 6:20PM. I'll just watch some YouTube. My life is exciting, later.
