Alright. After messing around with software, drivers, and various other pains in the ass on my cousin's virus-ridden computer for a couple hours, I finally got his computer to sync with my camcorder. The results? Hours of video before he ran out of HDD space. Like my roommate, my cousin likes to fully use 160GB of space on all sorts of downloaded videos he'll never watch again. And here they are: 4 videos of the coconut crab (My dad makes quite the topless cameo appearance) and 4 videos of baby sea turtles scrambling and running and swimming (some fob woman blocks my mom's shot 3 times; otherwise there'd probably be 2 long turtle videos instead of 4 short ones). Each will open in its own window.

bones in your fingers.

A massive storm started right as we got off the boat and got to Sipadan
Island. I passed the time by humming "Too
Much Rain" and randomly saying "Amfang
November 1998 zug ein häftiger Storm auf über Mittelamerika
und es began zu regnen zu viel Regen über dem Paradis" off
tune until I realized that there were large Germans staring at me, and
they were already pissed enough about the rain. Regardless, it still
reminded me of the days that I used to listen to trance.
Too much rain over
paradise
And then there's an old video from between dives during our training,
with one of Patrick's classic puns.
"Whoa, stop monkeying
around guys."
I've got a few videos of adult sea turtles too from the boat, but I still have to capture/compress the video. More coming soon, including photos/videos of the shipwreck dive I'm taking this weekend.
