Happy Birthday, everyone! As a gift to myself for finally going senile, I lost my camera and bought a new one. The camera is dead, long live the camera, and therefore we hereby announce a new family member. The differences are black and white.



And no, when I say "black and white" I'm not making a clever reference to the kind of pictures they take. I literally mean the color of the camera. Other than that, it's almost the same camera. ...But hopefully white is harder to loose. Same logic applies to the yellow case.

And I'll be sure and tell you when I do loose this one, so we can keep accurate records. Let's see.. I wrote about the previous camera on October 16, and I lost it 3 days ago. So it lasted 9 months. ... eh.. *gack* Even the euphoria from buying new toys can't quell that one. Well, one can hope that it turns up, but..

Since no camera is actually useful out of the box, I also picked up a SD Memory card. But this time I got a snazzy one which folds in half so you can read it in a standard USB drive. (In the see-through case, just left of the camera above.) All-in-one, multi-compatible stuff like that really geeks me out. ..In a warm and fuzzy good way, that is.



And, like last time, I also purchased a clear plastic sticker to protect the screen from scratches. The above shot is me applying the "PU-RO-TE-KU-TAA" to the camera. Ya see, when I loose my camera, I want the person who finds it to be able to peel off the protector and have a scratch-free surface. I'm just considerate like that.

...

In all seriousness, normally I wouldn't buy a camera so soon after loosing the last one, but tomorrow bright and early I'm going on a trip to the foothills near Mt. Fuji. Photo op! So I need a camera. .. Look forward to a picture-filled post next time! Cheers
