So, half a semester down at the good old N.E.S. of C.O.M. Lets see what the score is, shall we?

All in all I am pleased with my grades at the mid term. General Psychology is low due to the fact that there has only been one assignment in that class, and the paper was late… Digital Photography on the other hand, there is no excuse. I practically own that class, I just missed an assignment.

There you have it. Looks like its going to be a pretty sweet semester. Next we are all looking for a house. Doing the math, a student at NESCOM would be making pure profit if they were paying $530 or less per month on housing. That leaves our options WIDE open… So we’ll see where that takes us.
Also, I found a place to Intern/Work next semester (I hope). Image Works. I’ll tell you more about them later. Basically, my room mates brother works there, and with any luck, my room mate and I will too.
The Outdoors Club’s Halloween Trail Walk last night went spectacular. It was around 11pm, so understandably, no pictures… Sorry, your going to have to take my word for it. We arrived around 10:30, or something, and everyone in the Outdoors Club did a quick walk through the trail before sending in the unsuspecting college folk. The saddest part is none of us had any idea what we were doing until we took that first walk through. We all just picked our spot, thought out a little scary nook, and ran with it.
Jen, Emily, Cait and myself picked out a nice little stretch. Jen was supposed to walk up the trail backwards towards the group, playing like she fell down and the group ahead ran off without her and she got lost (yes, it worked flawlessly). When Jen joined the group, Emily made some sort of sound from off in the woods, then started through the woods towards the group. I’m not really sure what the sound was… Something with a turkey call… It was… Weird… Then they passed me, who was posing as a hanging dummy beside the trail. It was brilliant. First when the noticed me, they got scared real quick, then they passed me off as a fake, and kept walking. I waited until the group was almost past me, then I fell into the trail and started crawling towards them. While they were looking at me, screaming and backing down the trail, they backed through Cait, who ran up through the group and grabbed Jen, dragging her into the woods… It was brilliant, terrifying, and worked every time…
I heard every year has been lame, except this year. We made it…
So we went to the Halloween Dance here on campus this past Friday. In all honesty, it wasn’t all that bad…
To start things off we pre-gamed with the outdoors club peeps up on 9th floor. A little rum and a little Rock Superstar and we were ready to go…
Jen decided to be Alice for Halloween. She even had her mom make a custom outfit for the occasion. Now, we’re not talking the pretty little Alice in Wonderland “Alice.” This Alice has problems. Jen was the Alice from the game American McGee’s Alice. This is Alice after her house burns down, killing her whole family. This is Alice after being sent to a psych hospital, only to go absolutely insane, slip into a coma, and suddenly be forced to battle her way through Wonderland on acid… It’s a trip… She played the part well too. Full with the bloody apron, crazy knife, and hooker boots. She made me proud…
I, on the other hand, wasn’t nearly as creative… About two hours before the dance I still had no idea what I was going to go as, but Jen bailed me out… So… After a quick stop at Rite Aid I became a Vampire for Halloween. It was brilliant.
The dance was OK, mostly because the DJ played everything on the Billboard Top 100… I mean… Its an easy A. I’d show off more pictures of some other kids outfits if I had them. There were some decent ones. Problem is, I don’t even know who took these ones.
Tonight I have to go shoot the Pumpkin Bowling thing in the student center. After that I am off to Steven King’s house for some scary biz.. Hopefully… The plan is to only show up to the student center. Take like three pics, and get out… Thats the idea any way…
Wish me luck!
I opened a portrait album tonight. There you will be able to find some samples of my portrait work. The first two albums are of Jen Wolfe, my girlfriend, and Justin McNelley, my best friend. Ill be adding some more work, as well as more portraits of these fine adults, in the very near future. Thanks for checking them out.
Mulligan: 1
WordPress: zip
Thats right, after a whole hell-of-a-lot of tweaking, I finaly got the Gallery to work the way I want it to. Should be interesting. I’ll start populating the albums here after classes. There are so many pictures I want to put up, and FaceBook an MySpace are heaping peices of turd.
Ok, off to General Psyh.
So, I’ve been messing around with WordPress for the past 12 hours straight. Fun fun fun. I like the little layout I’ve got going. It needs a bit more tweaking; there are some sidebar elements I want to get in there, a few CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) changes that need to be made, the usual. But thus far… Pleased. With the layout at least… Then I got the great idea to throw Gallery2 into the mix, and WPG2… Thats when things got interesting…
Lets try this out.
There is only one album right now. If you are familiar with Gallery, clicking on the album image brings you to the… oh wait, we have to select an album again… shoot… So lets select an album we want to go into again… ok, so now we can select an ima… crap, what, do we have to do? Confirm again? Never mind, lets just select a random image from the side, that should work. Ok, so we got one… WHAT THE HECK!? Album page AGAIN!?
I think you get the point…
Hopefully there will be some peeps from the WPG2 forums heading this way to give it a looksee… I’d really like to get it working and integrated, that would be swell.
EDIT: Things have now since been fixed, move along, there’s nothing to see here…
I have finally established a solid personal space on the web. I’ve had a number of websites in the past. Namely beLine Perspectives. However, when I started referring business contacts its way I had to change its lean a little more towards the professional side.
The worst part is now I am going through a name change and will probably drop the beLine name in the near future, but since I have already sent referrals to that domain I can’t change back. I need a place I could blog freely… not MySpace…
So here it is…
