A Treasure Found at Home

this holiday season i bought a new camera for myself. the old one died a sad sad death. it’s like it has camera aphasia. all the insides work, but it can’t communicate with the outside world. it needs to have a little button pushed down (and held down) in order to turn (and stay) on. the bits that do that don’t work anymore.

matt managed to get it to turn on by jamming a tooth scraper (like you find at the dentist) into the little button, but that seems awkward for actually taking photos.

so, no new clothes or books or brick a brack for me until after i pay off my credit card with my tax return. looks like i’ll be filing early this year.

good thing i have a new camera to entertain myself until i’m allowed to buy stuff again.
