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.

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.

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.
