8.3 megapixels down the drain
Something horrible has happened…
My camera has stopped working. I don’t really know how it started, but a few weeks ago I noticed that when I turned my camera off the lens wouldn’t close all the way. It would recede into it’s little nook up to a certain point, but then it would stop before it was completely inside the camera, and the little piece of plastic that protects the lens would not come out to do its job. This was all fine as long as I was careful not to scratch the lens. The camera seemed to work fine. No big deal.
Today I turned on the camera and instead of zooming out and making a little dingy noise like it normally does it madly beeped at me. I looked at the screen and it said “zoom error”. Every time I tried to make the camera do something it just yelled at me with its beeps, and the words wouldn’t go away. It won’t take pictures at all. This makes me extremely sad. I wish I could take pictures of the camera to show you what it looks like, but unfortunately…
Even though this horrible misfortune has been sad, there are some really fun things that I have to report. The new Missy Higgins CD, On a Clear Night, has been charming my ears for the past week or two. I highly recommend it to anyone who liked her last album, although I have to admit it’s probably not as good as the first one. It’s still great, but it lacks that pull… maybe with time the songs will start to build personality and I’ll feel differently. For now though, it’s simply a great CD that I think everyone should have.
I’ve been wanting to have a party for a while. Can anyone think of a cool theme? If anyone thinks of a theme I’ll happily throw a party. I know my birthday is coming up but I don’t really want to throw a birthday party for myself. I also don’t really want to throw a Halloween party for the simple fact that no Halloween party will ever top the Mad Hatter Tea Party that we had last year, and I just know any party I throw will leave me sad and wishing I had flour all over my head and a bathtub full of home brew. That bath tub sure did host a lot of beverages during our year there. Anyway, party ideas are welcome.
