New Toy
It's still not here. And I've been waiting two entire days now! Yes, I know that lacks anything which could reasonably be called patience but I want it, I want it, I want it! Now!
What am I talking about, you ask? Well, you all know I've been taking lots of pics with my camera phone and I'm starting to get a bit frustrated by it. It doesn't do everything I want it to do. So, I have purchased a zip-doopity Digital SLR-LKE. (Steve and I are undecided on whether the LKE stands for 'like' or what - answers on a postcard).
Bid on it on Ebay. And it didn't arrive three seconds after I paid for it. Which was a stretch in and of itself. I'd never used PayPal before - or bought anything from Ebay for that matter. Took me a day or so to figure out which buttons to push to pay by Maestro. I can totally understand how people could get hooked on the whole bidding thing. The auction closed at 1opm, so I went up to Steve's and sat with his laptop, pushing 'refresh' every five seconds. I got SUCH a bargain, as well. Woop!
...
The ideal length of walk for me to come up with an idea has been reaffirmed. And one more person thinks I'm a mental. I was walking home from Steve's again, idly turning some ideas for story starts in my head when one resolved - just as I was walking past Mary's Bathhouse. Which I found funny. And, really, wouldn't you gesture towards the building in question, make a vague attempt at verbiage and chortle to yourself?
No?
See, this is why people think I'm a mental.
...
For those of you who like webcomics, I have a recommendation: College Roomies from Hell by the stunningly talented Maritza Campos. This is the first comic, and this is the most recent. See how much she's developed? And the woman's storylines are just so goddamn funny.
Misery journeys, nonsense contests, accidental porno filming, the Snow White effect. Really. Go to the first one and start reading. You will not regret it. Your schedule may, as it'll swallow about four of your earth days, but hey ho. Sacrifices must be made.
...
Damn - was going to put some pics of my Gran up, but I forgot me bloody data cable, didn't I? Too many bags, you see. One swaps from day to day and forgets to transfer significant items.
...
Have a good one,
C

You just had to mention it didn’t you? – so this is your own fault for making me jealous.
Locate, Keep & Enlighten or in your case: Lurid Kilt Enhancer.
You need to be careful where you’re pointing that thing – you’ll get yourself arrested.
Could be, but I think you need to include all the letters and bear in mind the yuppy style zip-doopity-ness of the customer.
So...Like....Rocks? - Like....Kinda...Elegant.
Well, shall we take a wild guess at which one he’ll pick?
Actually I've just thought of another one that could describe the customer, but I’m not posting it here. I’ll tell you later. *grin*
