Damn, damn, damn you … Archer and Mom! Advocating me charging up my credit card again when I am trying so hard to pay it off. And we all know it doesn’t take much to talk me into something I already want anyway.

My Canon PowerShot S1 IS Update:
My ole PowerShot is at a camera repair shop (thanks Christy!) with an estimate of around $90 to get it fixed. So, what I am thinking at this point is get the PowerShot fixed and purchase a Canon Digital Rebel XT. That way I have a “Point and Shoot” camera to kick around with and a “Professional” camera to do some nicer stuff with (and possibly make some $$ selling prints … if there are any that turn out good, that is). Photography was the subject I liked the best when I was in school. It would be nice to get back into it.

Cartoon Violence

Chas.1 Comment

I got all uppity when I saw this headline:
“Bush Urges End To Cartoon Violence”

I thought, “How dare our dictator speak out against such great stuff as ‘Tom and Jerry.’ He’s got more improrant things to worry about like spying on fellow Americans and his War for Oil.”

Then I clicked the link and it’s not quite what it appears to be.

UPDATE!
See, the new headlines “Bush: ‘Stop the Violence’ Over Mohammed Cartoons ” and “Bush Urges End to Violence Over Cartoons” sound so much better … it doesn’t leave the impression he’s trying to do away with “Itchy & Scratchy.” Marge tried that and lost.

Weekend Camera Report

Chas.4 Comments

Christy was nice enough to go camera shopping with me yesterday as it does appear that my PowerShot S1 IS is dead. You know, there really are way too many choices when it comes to digital cameras. After an hour or so of looking at Best Buy, I have narrowed the choices down to three different cameras.

1. Canon Digital Rebel XT
2. Nikon D50
3. Canon PowerShot S2 IS

I need to do my taxes this week just to make sure there are no nasty surprises (i.e. possibly owing our dictatorship any money) and that will help inform the final decision.
