Turkey photos

The best moments usually happen in weeks when there are little things you have to do and many things you want to do. It's called vacation. And what I wanted to do the most was to sleep. And I did. Slept and watched Turkish TV series which I didn't understand at all, but enjoyed them very much :)

Photos here.

Party

http://www.kovinet.eu/party

Last Christmas I gave you my heart...

But the very next day you gave it away!

So, here it begins. Just heard this George Michael song on the radio. I'm sure I'll hear it almost every day from now on, there's no escape.

Shopping sprees, party planning, December vacation, very busy next two weeks, all that's ahead. And as busy I mean busy, working till 3:00, 3:30 AM, every day.. Which I don't mind, even the opposite. It turns me on.

...this year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special...

I want to lick your body parts, body parts

Weeds

I'm not much of a weed guy, since my last adventure in Amsterdam I never laid my fingers on that shit. But nevertheless the TV series Weeds is one of the best things I've downloaded (no other choice) this year! It's unique, humorous - in a clever way, superb acting, overall great and definitely worth a look.
Check it out.

This man is brilliant..

Man, how can I sleep tonight. Fu** the betting.. we were better all the time..we controlled the match.. we had safe 15 points lead 2 minutes before end. Agghhhhh

joj joj joj....


that hurts

Betting is not for me

So Germany was peace of cake.. we won for 30 points... Wow. Got defeated against Lithuania, as expected, and then quarter finals. Again I'm feeling lucky, we can beat Greece! Betting quotes are on Greek side, so it means if I bet on Slo and they win, I profit big time.

We're watching the game in a bar, there are some people yelling and doing all that cheering stuff. I prefer watching a game like that at home, in privacy. Anyway. We play great. There are 2 minutes until the end and we're 12 points ahead. I'm so excited.. again a good choice.. I'm already deciding which iPod will I buy with the betting income. And then...bum. they shoot 2 3-pointers, we loose balls one after another..another 2 points for Greece.. all so suddenly, and we're 1 behind 7 seconds to end of the match.. It all happened so suddenly, and we loose.

What a disappointment! I will never bet again... And also, damn.. we had the victory in our pockets!

But still, I love this game!

Basket

The only sport I've really ever cared about. And look at that, Slovenian national team winning 4 in a row on European Championship. After defeating Italy, Poland, France and Turkey, now facing Germany in a non crucial match, since our place in quarter finals is already secured.

Victories are so much sweeter since many of our best players declined invitation to play in national team because "they need rest from playing in NBA". And the ones who did come are really playing, with passion...and winning..it's great.

Usually always when I get excited and say too much praise about somebody, they lose the next thing. I deeply hope this won't be the case in coming match with Germany, since I placed bets on it - for the first time in my life!

Dajmo naši! :P

Holy crap

I found a couple of gray hair on my head

Informatika Meet

Oh no

Oh no, I forgot umbrella in a store. I was there long time trying on sunglasses and it stopped raining meanwhile. Again, blin...

And I'm too embarrassed to go there looking for it, since they were so helpful and I didn't buy anything. Ah, well, let's hope for a sunny summer! :)

Vacation

This time Croatia, gorgeous Adriatic coast. Makarska riviera, with mountains in background.

Coming soon.

Haloze

I'm awful at orientation. I know people who are even much worse at it, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm awful.
Was cycling yesterday, determined to get on the top of Donačka Gora, but of course I didn't follow the map correctly and I never got there, even if it's the highest peak in the area.
But still, I got this view on the way:....

Siddharta rulez!

Really.

Boxing in Maribor

Thanx to my almost neighbor, Dejan Zavec, we hosted spectacular event in Maribor. And thanx to Gogi I got one of the best tickets available! Too bad the main match ended after 1min45. I noticed everybody enjoyed the fight much more since they saw the blood. And so did I! Dejan is a great fighter, and if there's a re-match in Maribor, I won't miss it for anything!

Cycling

Many times I don't feel like going, but anyway I get into my cycling pants, and since I'm wearing them I look too ridiculous, so I just have to go.. And then I never ever regret it.

43km

Lost

We have to go back, Kate, we have to go back!

Cycing season 07 starts.

Learning how to shoot

1. Keep ISO value as low as possible - high ISO values produce noise on photos. Sports mode usually sets ISO high, so it is better to use manual mode.
   
2. High aperture value means little light coming in, and it is not suitable for moving objects
   
3. Spring is here.
   
   

Nelson

We found him last year, almost dead, undernourished and with a broken tail. His tail is now in L shape, but it doesn't seem to bother him.
He grew into everyone's favourite cat. :)
He's fearless, and loves to be around people. If you kick a ball in his diresction, you must only hope it won't hit him, because he won't step away..

Cameras...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30, which I almost bought happens to make too much noise on photos.. And also it is quite large, and battery performance is worse than on Canon. So, it's ruled out, for now.

Then I got excited about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 , it even costs less, and hass all I need. BUT, you can't zoom in movie mode. Damn. I really like that :)


Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8

Hmm, what about a new camera?

Digital camera is one of the things I love to shop for. Even more than a car, I guess. I'm sure I'll read more reviews and test for a camera, as I did for a car.. :)

First big dilemma: SLR or compact.

Since I am not, and I never will be a professional photographer, and I will probably never buy those big extra lenses, because I just don't wanna carry them around, I am leaning towards a good compact camera. There are some pluses also for SLR, but I want a camera which can always be with me, not too heavy, and after all, not too complicated.

Though, I like how those professional cameras look, specially Nikon D80..

So, after I excluded all ballast, I've come down to these 2 cameras. They both have good reviews, zoooooom and many manual settings.. And, also they look like professional :)

Oh, and my camera must be able to make good movies, that's a must. (none of the SLR cameras is able of recording movies )


Canon PowerShot S3 IS


Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30

Actually before I only considered brands like Olympus, Nikon, Canon.. classics. But this Panasonic, hmm..looks great.

Annie Hall

Another movie that deserves an entry.
It's hilarious, I haven't been so amused in a very long time :). And I've probably seen it before, as a kid.
I didn't recognize Diane Keaton, who is just marvelous in this movie..

----------
"I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member."

[In California]
Annie Hall: It's so clean out here.
Alvy Singer: That's because they don't throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows.
----------
[Alvy and Annie are seeing their therapists at the same time on a split screen]
Alvy Singer's Therapist: How often do you sleep together?
Annie Hall's Therapist: Do you have sex often?
Alvy Singer: [lamenting] Hardly ever. Maybe three times a week.
Annie Hall: [annoyed] Constantly. I'd say three times a week.

Travel agency nonsense

They're selling a traveling package for certain price for 2 persons, flight, everything included.

I told them, 1 person won't fly, she will just use all other services.

For that they charge extra 40€!

Explanation: Because 1 person WON'T use the flight, you must pay extra.

So, NOT using 1 seat at the airplane, NOT paying flight taxes and for giving them a chance to sell the ticket to somebody else, costs money.

Makes sense?

Winter?
