New Camera
by Denise Sawicki on July 2, 2007
I didn't realize you could get a digital camera for $15 now... Once I became aware of this fact, I had to have one! Darrin got rid of his camera phone and this will serve the same purpose. I know a lot of people would likely scoff at these pictures but I guess I am pretty impressed, given the price. It takes videos too (without sound) but we haven't gotten any good ones yet.
First trial shot taken by Darrell as I'm driving away from buying the camera at KMart.
Our house. Yes I know everyone is always making fun of it for having a tiny yard, but I ask you, why would I want a big yard? Why would I want to do all that mowing? That is Darrin's new car in front.
Philip hanging out in the white-trash back yard I made for him (I put up the chicken wire around the bottom of the deck myself.) I guess eventually we may get arrested for having long grass in there. I'm wondering if eventually we can fill it up with gravel or put some wildflowers around the edge or something.
Yeah. Clearly I'm not mature enough for home-ownership.
Anyway, I'm happy with my new toy and pleased that it didn't cost much.

And on the heels of the TC discussion about digital being the death of film. If digital in general isn't, $15 digital is. :-) Enjoy it.

True that...
and that yard really must be tiny -- so much so that I can't even see it!

Yes the front yard is mostly filled up by the driveway. The back is bigger though... The part I fenced in is just under the deck so Phil can do his business without our supervision :P

Actually, Denise, I was teasing about the yard because the picture itself wasn't showing up -- but it does now. It's just a typical suburban plot.

Bablyon 5 vs. Little House on the Prairie
Darrell is checking out a lot of Babylon 5 DVDs from the library lately. I watch it too when I get a chance. Anyway, perhaps it's because we're nuts, but we think that show has a bizarre number of parallels with Little House on the Prairie. Go »Nostalgia from TV shows
We're watching some high school shows lately, notably Freaks and Geeks, which I love, also My So-Called Life which I hesitate to admit I find hard to get into... Anyway Freaks and Geeks sure makes me jealous of the friendships those characters had in high school. Nobody would ever make a show about my high school experience. Go »Lost Things
Darrin's sheet and pillowcase disappeared some time back, and I just discovered my nice black pants are missing. I almost always wear jeans so I have no idea how long they have been gone. We searched thoroughly for these items and the only theory we can come up with is that Darrin's ex-girlfriend took them. Go »My stupid brain
It seems I have quite a lot of former friends who wound up really, really, disliking me. So I am always alert to signs of that happening again. It's nobody's fault but my own, I assure you. Go »Londo and Life
I woke up in the mood to write quite a bit but I feel my communication skills have fled me as of late, if indeed I ever had any to begin with. I can only hope someone out there will make some sense out of this. Yesterday was the big day at the convention and it was cool. Go »
