My Precious!
Dec. 27th, 2008 10:02 pmI have my precious! Finally, I have a beeeyoootiful, beeeyooootiful, almost-top-of-the-line DSLR. This amazing creature: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonEOS40D/ The warnings information specifies that this beast can set fire to things, cause blindness, kill small children, and make airplanes fall out of the sky. Also, it takes mighty fine pictures.
But I wouldn't know.
Because, you see, the lovely combo package I bought, with the camera, a zoom lens, a bag, a backup battery, and a 4-year warranty...didn't come with a memory card to save pictures on. And didn't mention this on the packaging. So I have this lovely, beautiful, precious camera--and I can't use it.
If you heard a scream of unbearable frustration about an hour ago, that was me.
...

.
On the other hand, we also finally set up an in-home wireless network (way easier than we thought that would be), and we got another HD TV so that Phil can watch sports.
Best Buy may also have a lien on my paycheck forever. Despite me saving and scrimping for about a year to be able to afford a DSLR this nice.
But I have my precious! And soon, soon, I will be able to use it.
