| I was commenting on Amanda's journal, and it took a mind of its own. I'm trying to decide what to ask for for Christmas. I really think I have decided though. I was in best buy and I saw the most awesomest camera lens ever. It goes 70-300 mm. 300! My current lens is the one that came with the camera, 28-80 mm. I want to buy it, but it's tres chere. hmm... That's why I was thinking of asking for it for christmas. If I want to do some of the things I want to do in terms of photography, I need a better lens. Well, my lens is really good, it's a nikon lens, it just doesn't zoom far enough. And I'm thinking, if I get it for christmas, that's right before I go to Pittsburgh, so it'll be good for taking tons of pics up there. *Ponders* Problem is, since I mortgaged my soul to buy the camera in the first place, I still owe $100 on it. That's not bad though, considering how much I once owed. Ah, well, it was worth it. I got some money shots in Aruba and Ohio this summer. I should see about selling some of them to Joe la Pierre. He's a painter guy. He painted all three of the "real" paintings that are in our house. He's kinda friends with my dad. He told me once that if he painted a reproduction of a picture I took, he'd give me 10% of the selling price. His paintings now though, the big ones atleast, are going for a good 3 grand. Good thing we bought ours before he was famous. lol. That would make me some good money. It'd pay me back for the camera atleast. Well, if he painted a few of my pictures. I doubt one would cover it. That would have to be one big ass painting to make that kind of money. Oh well. Enough complaining about my camera. I love it. I need to get it a new lens though, so that I can take more close up pictures. So, long story short, I think that's what I've decided on for Christmas. Hmm.. You know what else? My cat's really old. She turned 10 like 2 weeks ago, not that we celebrated her birthday or anything... Ten...hmm...that's gotta be atleast halfway done for a cat, right? Sure it does. Cats don't live past 20. She's really starting to show signs of aging though. She's slowing down a lot. We have to keep her food up on the counter so that the dog doesnt eat it, and sometimes when she jumps up to eat she misses and falls back down. And then sometimes when she's jumping down she sliips and goes head first into the side of the chair. It's fun to watch. We asked the vet about it once, and she doesn't have arthritis or anything. I think maybe she's just stupid and old. |

Beagle147 | Re:, 11-11-03 12:45am Yea, I take Sasha on walks every day. Her hips would get really bad otherwise, since she's had surgery on both. My dad still hounds me about not walking her on fridays though. I'm like what the hell would you like me to do? Take her out at 1 AM?! -.-

Beagle147 | Re: Re: Re:, 11-11-03 10:33pm Sure, you can borrow it. It's the only "For Dummies" book that I've ever read cover to cover. Quite helpful. Anywho, lemme know when you need it. But don't leave it in Japan!
