inspired...

challenge accepted.

okay, so it wasn't really a challenge, but I like to participate, and even better when I have a partner. and...while I think you may end up reading what I had for dinner every day, and what flea's poops look like by the time I am 20 days into posting every day (my genteel way of saying nothing much happens in my life, lol), I am still going to try and make it interesting. If I get hold of a camera this weekend, you may also expect many many many photos, though hopefully not photos of flea's poops.

blogger is having image upload issues- I had a cute pic of flea, and you will just have to wait a little longer to see it.

I am off to noe knits and imagiknit...then to best buy for research and camera fondling: wish me luck and cross your fingers the instant gratification goblins keep their paws off my wallet.

helllooooo weekend :-)

on the needles: clapotis in cream lace weight cotton/silk somthing or other from a garage sale...

on the schedule: a movie tonight, possibly a costume party tomorrow, and maybe a lunch in napa on sunday...

on my mind: getting my two skeins of malabrigo balled up, plus my yummy birthday lace weight from jesse. getting a camera. possibly going to IAAPA with J, holiday plans, and more. gotta run.

love to all- have a great weekend!

time to buy a new camera for reals...

oh shit. this sucks.

I absolutely hate buying electronics. I am the person who researches for weeks for just the right product, cannot make a decison, then -in a fit of 'instant gratification-itis' coupled with 'i have put this off for too long for God's sake-itis'- I buy the first thing I see at best buy or the electronics store on the wharf.

The Nikon repair place I called for an estimate to clean my camera said 150 minimum. That's right- to clean it. Not repair it, but clean it. (sand in lens from teenager) So I am going to find a simple, cheap digital for 150 or less- preferably one that uses the same memory card as the Nikon I had. I am cheap- I don't want to sell my pictures, I just want to easily post them here and save them on my computer. So...if you know of a camera that fits my requirements- do tell. I use a compact flash... impossible to find so far. and after a bit of research I find that sd cards are super cheap, so that one is okay too.

I am currently sidetracked from real life by:
1. rewriting clapotis into the most amazing pattern written ever in the history of patterns. clarity is my goal.
2. looking for a camera (duh)
3. organizing my embroidery thread (seriously, you can't even imagine)
4. cleaning out my sewing stuff, and organizing, not as much as #3 though, i do have my limits
5. Dreaming of purging and living a minimalist life (yeah, right- have you met me?)
6. writing this post

random pic:
