And will someone send me some music??

Cold War Kids
Metallica
TV on the Radio
Kings of Leon
etc...

Any of these worthwhile?

And I KNOW there are new movies coming out like crazy. Ghost Town? Has anyone seen that? If you see a movie and you liked it, send it to me! (metacritic list) It doesn't have to be anything fancy or many discs. Just throw a disc in an envelope and send it to Comfort Castle. That's it. It can be 5 AVI files on a DVD. It doesn't matter. Oh man look at this torrent: All Disney. Somebody with a rockin internet connection get on that. Please? :)

Also, I was listening to the commentary on the Simpsons movie and, Cara Donahue, you sound exactly like Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa). I swear I thought I was listening to you do commentary.

That's all. It's hot as nuts here today.


UPDATE!: I got a bittorrent to work. Actually, the one I found is called Transmission and it works really well. I like it a lot more than Bittorrent. And our internet here at the marina is pretty good. So if you dont want to mail a disc, you could upload something to MegaUpload.com or 4Shared.com and just send the link to me. Todd did that before and it worked well (our internet just sucked at the time). Anywho, that's all. I was just getting really tired of not being able to get anything. So I'm a bit better off now. Sorry about the begging.

My First 5sec Film

This is made up of a 140, 30sec shots. I even got some lightning!

I Won't Lie...

...There are a lot of beautiful beaches here.

I Made the Cover!!

Hey everybody! My shot of Union Station made the cover of the Capture Music City contest! How awesome is that??

Thank you so much for all your votes and compliments and congrats. They just mean so much to me. And I couldn't be more excited and honored to have my shot on the cover.

(Sadly enough, I won't even get to SEE the book for two years so someone will have to take a picture of it and send it to me!)

(Mom and Dad, there's at least one copy being sent to you. Don't lose it!)

My Speck SeeThru Case

I don't know if I ever showed you guys how I keep my Mac looking not so pretty. I bought a Speck Hard Case before I left. But before I attached it I spray painted it camo-brown. So now it has a very unassuming look about it. (And it seems protective too.) I think it's worked out well.

Fi Wi Ous

More over on the Peace Corps blog.

Last Chance

Hey Everyone

The Capture Music City contest is about to end so if you have a chance and still haven't voted on any of my shots, I'd really appreciate your votes.

Go Here and Vote!

Thanks a lot.

Josh & Jesse Central

Okay everyone. I've spent a little time playing around with Wordpress and feel comfortable enough to make the change. SO... starting now Jess and I will both be posting mainly to our Wordpress blog:

Jamaica Me Better

I'll still put things here from time to time, but I think we're going to try and keep all our Jamaica doings in one place. So, please feel free to join us there.

Our neighbor, Gabrielle...


Nezzi owns a store at the end of our driveway...

Quickly

We're an hour away from anything: internet, grocery store, hardware store, etc. You name it and we don't have it. BUT, I believe we're in the most beautiful part of Jamaica. Here are a few shots. I've been writing, but I'll post those later. Suffice to say, you won't see us on the internet much. However we just found a Marina in town that has wi-fi that it's going to give us for free so that rocks.

We'll be back in Kingston next week for the week and then back here for 2 weeks (and then back to Kingston for a week and back here for good).

Anywho, later. (These are all in our front yard, except for the waterfall. That's down the road and my first project is to build steps to it.)

(that's junior. he's the 4yr old we live with. what a pill.) (jess is making a funny face. i'm not sure.)

(that's our "dad," Donovan)

(those are the Blue Mountains)



It's so dark out where we are. The stars shine like I haven't seen in a long time. This is a 5min & 15min shot I took outside the house while we hung up laundry.




Also, we need movies! We live with a four year old and all he watches is Dora the Explorer, so we need something else for him (meaning something that WE like to watch too) (I'm thinking Pixar stuff and whatnot). AVI files on a DVD (that's what their player reads). Send them freely. Blockbusters/Action and kids stuff. That and music. I'll put the address up later.

We Are Here

View Larger Map

So this is where Jess and I will be for a while (I have the actual address but not on me). We're in the mountains. More specifically I believe we're in a valley. Needless to say, we're going to be rural. Big time. I think we're excited about it. It will be cooler up there, but I'm anticipating not having internet for... well, I can't imagine there's internet up there. Not sure about there. So go ahead and expect to not see us online for two weeks. We'll be up there for the next two weeks and then we come back here to our current dorms. I'm nervous and super excited.

The bottom line is that there's no reason to doubt this any more than we've doubted anything else. God's got it under control. So maybe we won't have internet, things could be worse. We've got electricity and water (possibly running?). I'm no more excited or nervous than I would be if they told me I was going to the beach. (Well, maybe a touch more :) )

So anyway, you might not see us on here much for a couple weeks. But we'll be back... for a week. Our phones should work though. You can dial it just like a long distance number (i.e. there's no country code).
