I want to go to the beach on a nice sunny day and take lots of ocean related pictures - but no one I know is interested wandering around in the sand as I chase birds, waves, and various small creatures. Reason number three for getting a vehicle soon.

Anywho, I'll be going back home to washington for a bit less than a month in a few days - so hopefully pictures of 4th of July stuff, and who knows what all else.

I have been doing some writing though, and bits of it will eventually show up around here and in other places. It'll be a bit different from my usual fair, I think - since I've been re-reading China Mieville's Bas Lag books.

But I got some accessories - filters, a bigger camera bag so I don't have to carry the big lens seperate, etc...

Also, 4k views, sweet.

This photography thing is getting out of hand.

Ran into a whole group of buzzards on the way to the guard shack today. This ended in my sprinting back to my room - snatching my camera and sprinting back to where they were to try and get photos of them.

Conclusion: I need a longer range lens if I'm going to keep chasing skittish wildlife. Also, I'm spiraling into obsession, since I'm willing to run around (litterally) chasing pictures.

Pictures will be forthcoming the next time I dump my camera - at about fifty or so shots.

There were people around while I wandered a bit outside the barracks to take these. It's kind of amusing to listen to them discus you in the distance as you wander around staring at trees, plants and shadows.

I now have a soft focus filter, a sunrise/set(oranage-red) filter, a cross screen, and another polarizing filter.

Yay me.

I have my toes out the figurative door of this place - I'll be going back to the states soon, staying with my folks for about a month and then going to Calli for the next however long. The nice thing about going from Oki to the states is the massive increase in freedom to move around - rather than the reverse of coming from the states and being jailed by a curfew and inability to own a car. Once I'm out there and get into the way of things I'll probably get a place out in town with some buddies and not be in a barracks.

What does this mean? More getting out to places = more oportunies for photo stuffs, and camping - yay camping.

Also - pretty much ready for another round of Korea - this time I will --try-- to take pictures of things like convoys and us at work during set up and hanging around during down time -- might get something worth posting, who knows?

On a side note: Pan's Labyrinth is really cool (ok, so I'm late to that, but I just bought it today.)

Bleh, I'm going back to Korea for the third time. I really don't like that place. Osan will be the same bar filled quasi slum (like Kin outside the gates of my base.) The same vendors will be there -- maybe a new american brand restaraunt. There really isn't much you can get out of the place after the first time through, especially when you've already been to the DMZ and the war museum. Most especially when you can't wander off on your own and really explore -- but, there's reasons for that.

I need to take more pictures of things, I guess. I haven't put anything up in ages. My ability to do anything, though, is going to be sketchy because of the stupid things I have do for the next few weeks.

I did volunteer work on friday. I kept telling myself to bring my camera, that at least I'd get some pictures of little school kids at play or something -- but I'm kicking myself now. I witnessed the most beautiful cloud shot I've seen since I got on island - the clouds were just right to scatter sun beams on three edges of one; I really, really wish I had a picture of it - words fail.

I've been feeling sluggish, one could even say lethargic. I don't really know why. Maybe it's growing frustration with the day-to-day; the budding hatred for my job, or just general restlessness - if that makes any sense.

My new sergeant is going to make me work out with him (and one of my corporals) during lunch and after work during the work-week. He's taking an active interest in my physical well-being, but I can't help but think it's just because he "has" to, more than any genuine interest. I can't say I like him, he's of the type that can be vicious one second and smiling the next. It puts me on edge, makes all my hackles and defenses go right up just being near him. Not to be all mystical or anything, but I really don't like the vibe I get around him; and there really aren't that many people who's presence prickles at me like that.

In short, my weekend has been long and unproductive. I wish I could just take my camera and go wandering around the island alone - actual solitude would be nice for a change, but I can't go anywhere without dragging at least one other person with me (stupid buddy system) and I doubt anyone would want to just go wandering -- they always want a destination and purpose... not that I blame them.

The man who did mine is a master artist in my opinion, and he was trained by an actual japanese master tattoo artist that lives near Camp Foster. Both Okinawa locals, so no shady american saying he was taught by so-and-so.

It looks beautiful and is a perfect picture, down to shading, of a celtic dragon pendant I have. (Mom, you might remember the one, twisted into a celtic knot.)

We'll see what happens with any kind of non-tactical internet access, but it's more likely that I'm going to dissappear for a bit over a month.

Hopefully I'll be able to keep from going completely crazy there (which is why I packed a paper journal). I'm already expecting the worst out of this place - so maybe I can be surprised. ]]> ~Tieshla http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9494308/ http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9494308/ Tue, 25 Jul 2006 20:33:01 PDT
Ok, so I started this lettering thing weeks ago. What can I say? I've been busy - what with deploying to Korea and Marine life in general. I also know I haven't posted anything up here in a long while; but I am working on something for my 100th view that'll go up when I get that number (or sometime very soon after.) I'll have to remember to doodle some of the junk I just play with and put it in scraps, as well as making a letter per page on my paper pad (it's not a drawing pad, sadly, it's just an airmail letter pad - I haven't gotten to drawing in the book dealy my mother sent me.) I'm going to use that as a journal anyway - though it'll end up full of doodles. ]]> ~Tieshla http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9474647/ http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9474647/ Mon, 24 Jul 2006 03:25:20 PDT
The Op itself - I don't know. I have a pretty slack job, once I get my (again, I say it's mine, because I'm responsible for keeping it intact - and operating it, so never mind that a staff sergeant signed for it) equipment up and running. The only things I'll really have to deal with are it going down, getting it to broadcast the video stream across the network, and installing software capable of using the video data, if the computers don't already have it.

I don't know about the actual ship ride to Korea, though. I don't know if I get seasick - and the docs want to dose people who get motion sick before they get on the ship. Maybe I should just get the meds in case, but I'm not sure about that - I'd rather not take anything if I can help it.

It's been a tiring day, and I've been sweating almost from the moment I woke up - and not just sweating a little, but streams. I can feel that I'm dehydrated, and I have to go running in the morning. Going to try pounding water all night and hopefully I'll be ok. ]]> ~Tieshla http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9327540/ http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9327540/ Mon, 10 Jul 2006 01:07:07 PDT
My head hurts, and it's too hot here - and the place I work has no AC, the barracks barely has AC - all I do is sweat from waking up to going to sleep and I suspect the headache is dehydration, so I need to pound water like it's dollar shots night.

Getting ready for this Op in Korea is a pain as well, we have so much work to do - and everything is disorganized and making the whole process a living hell. There was no record of what harddrives were used for the server build (their serial numbers, this is a big deal for tracking things) and moreover NO markings as to which server those built, imaged, configured, and partitioned harddrives belong to. It's going to make set-up in Korea interesting, to say the least. Hopefully I won't even have to deal with it -- hopefully they will remember to say, "Hey, we want the GBS too, lets get the paperwork for that done." And since I'm the only operator going to that site - it will be me and whoever I choose to train on it operating the thing, so the general and other people with shinies on their collars can have CNN and Fox News. I only pray that this happens; and if I somehow figure out how to get the secret part of the system to work, or just the FTP and file pushing to work, I'd probably get a Navy Achievement Medal. ]]> ~Tieshla http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9102174/ http://Tieshla.deviantart.com/journal/9102174/ Sun, 18 Jun 2006 04:07:15 PDT
