New equipment, etc.

The other day I went ahead and ordered my lighting equipment, and updated the wish list to reflect the change. My account is $1300 lighter now, but hopefully it’s worth it in the long run. Anyway, I’ve got two more strobes, 4 wireless (RF) transcievers, stands, umbrellas, correction gels, and a partridge in a pear tree on the way. Should be fun to mess around with over R&R, especially with a bunch of the assignments on Strobist.
In other news, I’m anxiously awaiting the packages containing the final few episodes of Lost, which may well be the best TV show ever. Word is I’ve also got some House, and Heroes on the way. If anyone has Battlestar Galactica (Season 3 – present), feel free to burn it and send it, I’m willing to give it another chance now, seeing how I watched S1 and S2 out here last time, I may as well watch the rest while I’m here again.
A few days ago I was asked about re-enlistment. After the laughter ended, I was still being asked what it would seriously take to get me to re-enlist. I figure if the .mil can fork over about $88M for a month, and $4M a day after that, I might stay for another month. Something tells me that’s a little steep for even our rich Uncle.
Still no clue when R&R might be, but I’ll let folks know as soon as I know.
Anthony,
I heard about the two soldiers, it must be very difficult for you and your fellow soldiers. Young adults don’t usually experience death so personally-all of your experiences must have had a strong affect on you. It makes me think of 1 Corinthians 12:26 ” And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.” You and your fellow soldiers are honored by their sacrifice, and you will all also suffer from their loss. You probably look at life with more respect than most of your non military peers.
I’m really glad to see you’re moving into photography- a terrific way to show respect for life. You will be great at it because you are the kind of person who knows what you want. Picturing something in your mind and capturing it will be especially gratifying.
What did you think of the pumpkin seeds? Let me know if you want more. I can put together some dried fruits and nuts, if you lilke them…there’s lots of nutrients in those. By the way, does the Army give you supplements like vitamins? If not, would you want some? Do you want any photography books? I hope you are
well…
