at lunch today I was asked what I do for fun.  after some time thinking about something other than fire I was left speachless. I realized I don’t really do anything.  man that’s lame.

Than they asked what I do when I hang out with my friends.  Well most of my friends are married, so we sit around and watch the tv. I realized I’m to a point where Death, Marriage, and school are taking my frineds by storm.

So that being the case I realized I probably should either join them or run from all three all together.

I’m putting my running shoes on right now.

Not Digital, Not Yet

Monday, September 15th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 5 Comments

On Saturday, Hayley and I saw the movie Get Smart.  I’m aware it’s been out for a while, but see I grew up on get smart, and watching the comercials, Steve Correl is no Max Smart.  so I saw it and tried to keep an open mind.

well I’ve got one word of advice for Hollywood, Don’t go Digital!

Get smart was filmed on a glorified sitcom high def camera and frankly, it looked it.

2 major problems I see, they shot it in 30 fps it looked like and than tried to down convert to 24 to try to keep high res frams, however, it looks cheesy!  especially the darks.

I’m not saying Digital isn’t inevitable, because I know, the whole world is going that way, it’s cheeper, easier, and in many cases harder to screw up.  but that’s just it, it’s easier to make movies now than ever before.  Being so easy we have absolute crap coming out of hollywood.  The good movies seem to come from Indy film makers (good for you).

So why am I ranting about digital (becaue is keep touching this issue than taking tangets)?  because digital is what us low end people use, becasue we can’t afford 32mm film, let alone the camera, we can’t afford to even develop said film.  However you can!  keep doing it.  Digital isn’t ready for the big screen, it still looks bad.

Unless this is a sign that hollywood uses digital on films that they just don’t care about, than by all means just let us know, we’ll avoid them!

It’s just frustrating to pay for a movie ticket and than get made for TV quality movies.

Please up the annie on this one please!

acoustic night

It’s a rare joy to play infront of a crowd.  There’s this excitment that comes with a crowd cheering for you as you play to your little hearts content.

Wed, Hayley Haws through a concert for her guitar students for a singles ward activity.  all in all, it was awesome and fun.

here are some pics.

Satelite phones are wierd!

Friday, August 29th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

So work asked me to make sure their satelite phone worked. The thing is bulky and in reliable! It seems like just another way to make it harder to escape society.
I stood outside for ten min pointing the oversized antena at the skies and had no service. Ha ha ha. Aparently we have our hand in all sorts of technologizes.
However I just learned that the company that provides our service has satelite issues. So we’re going to cancel.

First post from the iphoone!

Why I NEED an Iphone

Monday, August 11th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 2 Comments

1: it’s cool
2: it’s cool
3: organize my life
4: it’s cool
5: all the cool new apps.
6: it’s cool
7: work wants me to get one
8: It’s cool
9: GPS
10: it’s cool
11: I want one.
12: it’s cool

ok so more than half the reasons are that it’s cool, but today my supervisor hooked me up with a 1st gen iphone and frankly, I love it. yes I can remember my days with a suddely crappy nokia and or motorola phone. they remind me of the days in my mission when really bad news comes from home. Hell would be a welcomed sight than returning to those days!!!
frankly I find myself running into very few reasons not to have one! The one thing keeping me from the phone that will link me to 3g internet at all times is, School. thus I have decided that School is an assistant to the leages of hell! or maybe I just have already realized that school is more imporant in the long run than an Iphone.
darn it!

Family Picitures

Monday, August 4th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 5 Comments

So My Mom decided it was time for a new family picture. Probably a good idea considering our last one was taken before Mark’s mission (about 6 years ago). Since our last picture there have been a few minor changes to our family, the first being Debbie, the second, Merrill, and the Third, Zoey. Oh I’m almost forgetting the fourth, my missing eye.
Alright I admit that fourth one was a lie.

Anyway, there is our family picture.

Us Nott kids (deb included) as many of you know, are very creative/exciting (except Mark. Mark is not exciting) and we can’t stand the typical family pictures without a bit of a twist. and here you have it.

by the way, this picture was Mark’s idea, so I guess he’s a little exciting.

mingling with millionairs

Last night work gave me a the great oportunity to attend, the Utah Fast Pass gala dinner. we arrived about an hour and a half early for the gala, but that gave us ample time to view the “beyond expensive” cars.
The table we sat at there were two couples who casually talked about the over 100,000 dollar cars they bought and traded because they wanted something else.
It was a lot of fun.
After the gala My boss gave me and my date and me a ride in the ferrari 360 spider.
The seats aren’t the most comfortable, but man, it’s a sweet ride!
they offered to let me drive it, or rather while my date was in the car i was offed to drive it, I asked the price of the car, and with a smile said, no thanks. I in no way wanted to be buying one of those any time soon.
