You are a Very Bad Bear Song
This lady is very upset because a bear in Alaska destroyed her Kayak and it was September and he was supposed to be sleeping and the Kayak doesn’t even taste good so why is he doing it. The bear is indifferent and fails to listen to reason.
El Nino October
Baneara means bathtub in Spanish and that is what the ocean feels like here. It is close to 76 degrees which is about what you would expect for Hawaii, except we thousands of miles away here in San Diego. In any case the days are hot, the nights are long and the waters are warm in San Diego this October.
The Instax 210 – Cure for the Tiny Instant Photo
I just bought the Instax 210 (Fuji’s Wide Angle Instant Camera) on special at Amazon for $100 and it came with 3 packs of film. I learned about the camera from a 4 year old kid – Hawkeye Huey. I saw his extraordinary work and wondered how he shot it and then I saw his camera. It’s funny. You can learn new things from anyone – even a 4 year old kid if you pay attention.
Well, I have been testing this camera this afternoon and I must say I am not disappointed.
Here are some reasons why I really like this instant camera
#1 – Big Prints
The number 1 reason I love this camera are the big prints. They are twice the size of the original Fuji Instax prints, and about the same size of the Poloroid. Tiny prints were always my pet peeve with the original camera but Fuji solved that with this extra wide camera.
The prints are 2x the size of the regular Instax cameras.
#2 Film Price is Reasonable
I have been using the Impossible Project Instant Film for 3 years and while I love it, I swear it is super expensive. I pay about $3 an exposure plus the cost of shipping. Like I said, I love it but I can get Fuji film for about $1.25 an exposure and I do not pay any shipping through Amazon. The price makes it a clear cut winner.
Impossible Project is beautiful film, but I will save it for special occassions like when I want to peer through a tennis racket.
#3 Selfie Mode (That’s right it is cool)
Fuji provides a little extension with a mirror that can be clipped on to the lens with a mirror so you can get a close up perfect selfie. You can turn the camera around and take a shot of you and your friends and get everyone in the picture.
#4 Picture Quality is Great
Instant cameras can give really crappy pictures sometimes but I have been really surprised at the contrast, tone and colors in the Instax 200. I would have to say quality is great for a cheaper instant camera and well worth the price tag.
Picture quality is great, facial quality I cannot vouch for.
#5 – Simple Controls
Fuji put some good effort into the design of this camera making the controls fairly easy to use. It took me about 3 minutes to figure out all the bells and whistles on this camera and there are basically 3. You can control the focal distance (between .9 and 3m), the lighting (brighter, normal, darker) and turn the flash on and off. Really what more do you need? Not much. But if there was one thing that might be nice is ability to control focus. In any case most of the pictures I took were in focus.
My Final Conclusion – 5 Stars
I give this camera 5 stars and a french kiss, the highest rating of any instant camera.
Party On at the Straight Edge Punk Show
The Pink Champagne Cake was flowing at the Punk Show last night. And this was not any punk show but Paddy Boy’s Straight Edge Punk Show with his Band. The crowd was hyped grooving to the cool sounds and knowing that this was ground zero for the place to see and be seen. YOLO was the theme of the night and the selfie crowd was in full effect. Fashion was the word dirty bird.
The Kardashian’s blew it off but we know ever since Caitlyn rained on their party parade and up’d the It Factor to 11 (BITCH), that the gal’s and their side kick Scott Disik (the cheater), are off in France doing god knows what. Who hates them? Hellloooo! #kardashiansgotcrowsfeetbitches.
Table Service please, and only VIP need apply for our section at the Che Cafe, which was flowing with Grey Goose. “Let the rest of them eat cake!”, Mom shouted shortly after her mandatory two shot buzz kicked in.
From there it just amped higher and higher – SDGE EAT YOUR HEART OUT LETS TRIP THE POWER ON THE WHOLE CITY, kinda party.
By the time, Paddy Boy dropped the beat on the crowd it was all shouts, giggles and butt slaps all around by the “In” crowd. You gotta love the in crowd doing their “it’s the shit thaang yessirz”
“Ain’t nothing but a G Thang Baby” , Dan the Man replied to me when asked what time Geno needed to be home. This all ages show promised to get everyone in bed no earlier than 5am when the after, after, after party concluded and the last bits of a Denny’s Moon over My Hammy (the hangover antidote) were finished by all. Dine and Ditch Baby. F%8k THE PO PO (word). #ThtDenny’sAllDayBrkfstTho.
You’ve got to thank this all night crowd of Hollywooder’s for taking straight edge to its new form. The form of stream of consciousness were its a no-holds barred eyeball to eyeball jello-shot-duel with the devil himself. Its’s shot for shot against the devil and we’re drinking him under the table.
And you gotta give mad props to Momma J for keeping it realz. “Champage on Ice is so Nice” was her theme while she raised 12 kids and still managed to keep her party lifestyle going with the after hours crowd at Colony House.
This was an epic night. But what’s new? I mean we do this every night and we ain’t never coming down and we ain’t ever getting old and we ain’t ever gonna get jobs. We live for summer. Let’s hear it for the BOYZZZZ, and by the BOYZZZ, I mean Paddy’s All Boy Band who thumped the beat and dropped the beat like Skrillex.
Peace out my brothers and sisters. Now raise your champagne cake and let’s party!
