Sure Shot

Yesterday I put in three hours at work, then called it quits. I got home, ate something, went to bed, and woke up all better half an hour later. It was like a light switch; 100% all better. I felt great! Man oh man, it feels good to feel good.

Of course, this morning I have a two hour Research and Graduate Studies meeting in the union, but hey! No (literal) headache! I'll take that trade. It's wonderful what the absence of pain can do for one's mood. I'm almost chipper this morning. Wow!

One thing that brought on my good mood was this crazy fog. I took a picture on the way up to work, but my SanDiskcard reader won't read the memory card that was in the new camera.

My Sony SureShot died last week. I've been playing around with the Fuji that [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick bought as a replacement/backup for the ancient old Sony last year (when we started to anticipate its demise), but I don't like it at all. I don't like the way the flash works, I don't like the menu system, I don't like the way it photographs my skin tone, I don't like the way you have to open the battery compartment every time you remove the memory card, and now my card reader won't even download stuff from the damn memory card.

I'm tempted to hit Target to buy a new SureShot tonight. If I decide I can't spend the money on one, I'm going to nix my 365 project until I can. There is no way I'm doing a year of photos with this Fuji.

Yay for no pain!

The fog is CRAZY! It's like driving in a Steven King novel.

I like your 365 projects, I hope you get a new camera.

I'm so glad I don't have to drive in it. That would be not so cool.

It was a scary drive, now that I'm in the office safely the fog is cool again.

I'm so glad you're feeling better!

Circuit City (http://www.circuitcity.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?Sort=0&Nav=|c:3617|m:792|&Recs=30) has some good deals on Sonys, but I can't find you a SureShot anywhere.

Buy.com (http://www.buy.com/prod/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-w310-12-megapixel-digital-camera-with-4x-optical/q/loc/33409/213814873.html) has a great price on this one, too.

Looks like they're not making the SureShot anymore. Now it's the CyberShot. Best Buy is right by Target, so maybe I'll swing by both!

I'll lend you my old Canon if you want to try it out.

The flash is dead, but you can get an idea if you'd like it.
Oh wait, you don't like having to open the battery cover to change
the memory card.. yah, I have to do that, but I just use the cord to transfer my pix to the computer.

[livejournal.com profile] mckitterick said he'd take me shopping tonight. He was planning to surprise me with a new camera, but (as is usually the case) I've jumped the gun. =D

I'm a lucky girl!

YAY! That's super-nice.

It was a frightening drive into KC in the foggy darkness this morning. Still, I enjoyed the cozy feeling and the "change of scenery."

My skin is LOVING the humidity.

Yay for feeling better!!!
