More camera – less money

May 2nd, 2006

Got my camera today (quick! I only ordered it from newegg on Friday.) Anyway, so far it seems super sweet, and I went out and got a 1GB xD card for it. Of course it’s not the same as the cards for my OTHER Olympus camera, and of course my less than a year old PC with all the card slots on it doesn’t have the right size for THIS card. But whatever. I can do a seven shot panorama with this camera and an Olympus card, the display is excellent, and the controls are like my earlier OLympus, so not much learning curve. Overall, we like. Now I just want the new monitor to show up, because this one’s very sketchy. I sometimes have to slap the top of it to get the picture back. :-/

So, here’s camoflage Chi, deep undercover. You don’t see her, do you? She loves that blanket.

This whole “making her obey some rules” thing has made a change in her, she’s less likely to do whatever the hell she wants, and she gives in more easily when I tell her no. But I don’t want to tell her no. I feel like Bad Mommy for not giving her whatever she wants. I would really be a crazy ass mom to human children. I would make Montessori look like a drill sergeant.
