There's a new sherriff in town, sucka!!

Since I'm actually terrible at blogging (shocking, I know) I've completely failed to include much of the actual, pertinent information in my life over the past, well, forever. I am going to tell myself that adds some sort of mystique since I think it's a waste of time to recap when the present is always so full of such fun things.

What's that? Fun things? Oh, like, I dunno, the new fancy camera I just invested my right arm in. And yes, I'm right handed. But seeing as all of the pictures coming from my little baby Lumix are so fabulous (credit to the camera) I figured it was high time to upgrade to mama Lumix and get me a GF-1. Oh. Yes. And what do I have to say about it, after having owned it an entire 24 hours and barely had a chance to use it? I'm in love. The shutter thingy is, well, just so fast, and playing with the little buttons really does make a difference! Although I'm pretty sure everyone working at Glazer's camera yesterday is convinced I'm an absolute moron. And you know- I really am, when it comes to camera settings and, uh, stuff. Although I do enjoy my old Pentax which, ironically, I bought to learn the basics like a good hard-core film-developing snob. Note to self and others: it's actually kind of difficult to learn about how setting affect the outcome of pictures under varying light conditions a month later when you get around to developing the film and have no effing clue what you did. Huh.

I digress. Back to the camera. Here's dog:

And here's 15 minutes of trying to figure out how the hell to use Gimp while procrastinating on other, more 'important' tasks:

In other words, I'm still completely clueless.

At any rate, I'm eager to see what this puppy can do (camera, not dog. Dog capabilities have been well established before now.)
