Frosty's happenings

so, I'm FINALLY moving to San Diego. yay!
after driving down there and home to work at sea world all summer when doing Lighting and Stage I was already sick of the drive, and now that i have been working with Electronic services I am even more sick of it. working 4 8 hour shifts a week means i am driving 720 miles a week, and spending over 11 hours on the road every week, not to mention the 800$ i spend in gas.

you may have noticed how for the last 2 months i am basically never really online, well it's because i have been waking up between 2:45 & 3:00am and not getting home till 5pm, if not later. by the time i get home and do everything i need to do and eat dinner it's basically time for me to go to bed.

so yeah, now I'm in the possess of moving while still working so i still won't be online much, heck I'll be online less. but at least in a couple of week i will be living in San Diego and get a huge chunk of my life back.

I'm moving to a rather nice apartment in Pacific beach, about 5 miles for the park and a little over a mile from the beach, which makes this orca very happy, even if he's going to be a poor orca XD

this has to be, in my opinion, one of the best photos I have ever composed and taken.

how the hell did it get this close to the 14th without me even realizing it?

good thing is I found out I'm not working at Sea World that day, so I can go down there and spend the entire day as a guest at the park, which will be nice ^.^

Meeting Argon

Well I got to meet a sea lion today at work. was actually really good, and I hope I get to work SLO this summer, cause I can see myself really enjoying working around the seals, sea lions and otters. The sea lion I'm hugging is Argon if you were wondering.

ok, well I'm moving my gallery to Flickr, I had used DA for a LONG time now, but I like how flicker lets me do albums, and some of the other features.
I'm also uploading a lot more than just orca photography to it. so if anyone usualy watched my DA or is just curious about my photography, please stop by my Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/frostyorca/

oh, and please, feel free to comment on things, if you have a Yahoo screen name you can log into flickr. thats the one thing I miss about DA is the feedback I got on my photos, but oh well, there are some downsides to everything ^.^

I love this pic, taken upstairs where they were doing the official FC photo shoot.

we moved (we as in myself and one other) the piano onto the drop so we could do photos with the cats.

I really love it because it dose remind me a little of the play "Cats"

so, I need a new OS hard drive really really badly. I have been using an OLD drive for almost a year now, and its a DMA100 and slow as shit, and literally slowing down my entire system.
so I'm going to bet a new WD Raptor drive. this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822136011
Newegg's price is $174.99 and shipping is only like $6 - $7

sometimes newegg has good prices, sometimes now. so like, anyone know of someplace that has them for significantly less?

oh, and newegg offers an extended warrant on the drive, where they will completely replace it if anything happens, one year is $29.99 and 2 years is $39.99

so... yeah, I need -need- this before FC, but I need to be careful not to brake the bank.

well I'm going to keep this short because its 4:46am and i have to be at work at 10 am
anyways....

my website http://FrostyOrca.com is now running on my new server. *dances*
for a long time I have been wanting to give it a dedicated machine to run on, and now I have. so the new home for the "White Orca Web" is my web server ORCA1

anyways, I'll post more later when I can tell the difference between my space bar and the enter key

Ok, well uploaded 2 more photos to my DA account tonight. So now I'm that much closer to catching up with them. The first photo there is of Nakai, who is my orca, I love him soo much <3
