I went shopping with Dan to spend my birthday money. I got a new digital camera and a cute pair of earrings. I really love the camera. I've wanted a new one forever. They started making them so small. You can easily fit them in your purse, or hell I could even fit the shit un-noticeably in my bra. No joke. The one I had before is huge. It didn't fit anywhere besides maybe in the diaper bag. The new one has 7.1 Mega pixels compared to the old one that only has 2. The new one has its own rechargeable battery, while the old one uses AA batteries. Both have 3x zoom.I love the preview screen on the new one. It's so much bigger. It also had digital video with sound. Plus, lots of other crap I haven't learned about yet. The sad part is that I'm pretty sure we paid over $200 years ago for that old camera. That was when digital cameras were fairly new. I only paid a fraction of that for the new one. I really got a deal on it. Here's some photo comparisons.

I've been thinking about what I want to store the camera in. I went a few different places and didn't find anything I liked. I don't want a big case like they sell at the store, because I plan to keep the camera in my purse. I was hoping Nikki and I could maybe dream something up for her to knit for a nominal fee. A cute form fitting sock like cover. I'd like it if it had beads or something on it. I've seen where people knit beads into stuff. I don't know if that's really knitting or not and if it's even feasible. Really a plain old slip cover would do me just fine.
The earrings are cute too. They are cubic zirconia. Which is a fancy word for fucking FAKE! But they are 14kt gold. Not because I care to spend more, but because my ears will fall off if I don't. Instead of plain old studs like I usually get. I got little stars. I think they are cute. Dan and I don't get to buy nice things for ourselves too often cuz we's po folks. So it was nice to spend a little money.
I did a little costume shopping for Sarah's Halloween party today. I found a costume I really love. I'm just worried it might be too sleazy. Dan and the sales lady were all about it. To be honest, so was I. I just don't want to be the only person going all out for the party. That would just be stupid.
Well, that's all for tonight.

I like that camera I want a new one too! Eventually maybe that'll be my next splurg on myself after I re-coop from going away and taking a mini vacation. I always feel so selfish everytime I spend money on myself or do something for myself...I hate that.
I always feel like that too. I always figure there was something better I could have spent my money on. But at the same time, life is short and you ain't taking that money with you so fuck it.
You have the same old camera as my old camera!!! that gigantic finepix!! we got it right after we got married and spent way too much on it! and then tim got me the one i have now for christmas or something. It's realy nice, except I wish it had lots more zoom to it. I am forever pulling over on the side of the road and taking wildlife pictures, but they never turn out because i have little to no zoom. (there's a pair of bald eagles that live down the road and i'm always trying to get pics of them) But your new camera is pretty awesome
I can probably do a camera thing. I would need the measurements of your camera, in inches. thick by tall by long. so that i can get it the right size. i can make one thats thicker and fuzzy (basically the same as Sarahs purse, only tiny!) or I can make it with novelty yarn which is the fun fuzzy shiny sparkly (or anything, really) yarn. I have beads, but not much of a selection. I bought some of those white beads that have black lettering on them, with the express purpose of making something that had the word FUCK beaded onto it! LMAO!
Halloween is pretty much eveery womans excuse to dress like a hooker for the night. ask anyone. god you should have seen my costume last year. i wanted to be a sexy fairy, with a vinyl corset shirt and a vinyl fairy skirt and basically all slutlike. my wings didn't get delivered until the week after halloween though, so i just wore a cape instead. wasn't actually a costume. was just me, looking slutty with a cape!
I was cracking up laughing at you "slutty with a cape" costume. I kept thinking I'll just skip the dramatics and just dress like a whore and say that's what I am. LOL!
I love, love, love the glittery yarn idea. No beads would really be needed for that then. Red and Gold are my favorite colors, but it's no biggie if you just want to use something you already have. I do want it to be pretty slim, not too thick. I'll be putting it in a little purse all the time. I really only want it to serve the purpose of being a dust cover and prevent scratches, not like a shock absorber or anything. LOL!
The camera measure 2.25 by 3.5 inches. It's a tiny thing. Like I said, I want it to be snug and maybe have some sort of a zippered closure or something so it doesn't just fall out of the end. Can you do zippers? Let me know how much and I'll send you some money.
It takes videos with sound and all. The quality is really good. I want to sell my camcorder now because these ones are better. The camera holds up to 3 and a half hours of footage too! Mine has 3x zoom. Which like I said was the same as the last. I don't know if that's any good or not. Probably not. But it works for me.
I can't wait to post video of Sarah getting tea bagged by a male dancer. LMFAO!
