I didn't realize you could get a digital camera for $15 now... Once I became aware of this fact, I had to have one! Darrin got rid of his camera phone and this will serve the same purpose. I know a lot of people would likely scoff at these pictures but I guess I am pretty impressed, given the price. It takes videos too (without sound) but we haven't gotten any good ones yet.


First trial shot taken by Darrell as I'm driving away from buying the camera at KMart.


Our house. Yes I know everyone is always making fun of it for having a tiny yard, but I ask you, why would I want a big yard? Why would I want to do all that mowing? That is Darrin's new car in front.


Philip hanging out in the white-trash back yard I made for him (I put up the chicken wire around the bottom of the deck myself.) I guess eventually we may get arrested for having long grass in there. I'm wondering if eventually we can fill it up with gravel or put some wildflowers around the edge or something.

Yeah. Clearly I'm not mature enough for home-ownership.
Anyway, I'm happy with my new toy and pleased that it didn't cost much.

And on the heels of the TC discussion about digital being the death of film. If digital in general isn't, $15 digital is. :-)   Enjoy it.

True that...

and that yard really must be tiny -- so much so that I can't even see it!

Denise Sawicki | July 3, 2007
Yes the front yard is mostly filled up by the driveway. The back is bigger though... The part I fenced in is just under the deck so Phil can do his business without our supervision :P

Actually, Denise, I was teasing about the yard because the picture itself wasn't showing up -- but it does now. It's just a typical suburban plot.

My weekend

Hmm well I hope this post is appearing in my blog, maybe I am a bit confused by the changes. I was worried we would have a bad weekend, because we had no DVDs from Netflix or the library, and our AC isn't working and it's been really hot. But finally the weekend was saved by the ultra quick arrival on Saturday of Sims 2 which I ordered Thursday... Go »

Gross jelly beans

So, we all know I am a little juvenile for my age. We went and purchased some Beanboozled jelly beans a while back - the box comes with a mix of good flavors and disgusting flavors but you can't tell the difference until you eat them because the color is the same. I was apprehensive but most of the flavors I tried were really not that bad. Go »

Writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

The identity of my birthday RB card will be public soon enough, I'm sure, so I figured I'd write a little about it. I won't state its identity outright, in hopes that I can encourage anyone who's not familiar to click the link :P. First, I didn't know a "wimpy" band could wind up ranking quite so high. Go »

Sewing Project?

So... we are into this goofy show "The Prisoner" lately and decided we want to go as people from that show for Halloween. That is, assuming anyone invites us to a party of any kind. Go »

Ghost of an Unkissed Kiss

As though I don't look bad enough for sharing information on my lame celebrity crushes, here's a real-life one, albeit a really old one. I'd forgotten that his full name was in the movie we watched the other day and maybe hearing his name was what got me started on this nostalgic path. He's got a common name. Go »

Why have I not checked this show out before?...

So I happened to find disk 1.1 of Queer as Folk (American version) at the library and it is rare to see disk 1.1 of anything so I checked it out. Go »
