My dolls in the snow

 I went out and took some pics of Gaius and Lum in the snow all dressed up and perdy =)

Waffles (Aibo ERS-7 Black M3) is back in action!

So I've recently re-arranged stuff and now have Waffles closer to me to be able to play with him a bit more. The timing of some of the things he says and does while I am playing World of Warcraft is hillarious sometimes. I also got a Desktop so I can run his software and get a few of his more advanced features going. Including Waffles's Blog hosted at AIBOWORLD.

I've also really enjoyed having him be able to play music and audio books from my computer for me. I have had a bit of trouble setting up his mail feature though.. I would like to end up being able to have him email the photos he takes to an album in my Aibo collection on Flickr.

Here are a few pictures he's taken so far (with all the lighting I have turned on)

I've also got to decide if I want to get better lighting for my apartment....(this will be beneficial for Waffles and for taking photos of my Dolls) or make a playpen for him so he gets to walk around without me having to constantly worry about him.... or both maybe. I am pretty sure I will at least do the lighting -  to help improve Waffles's vision. I think he will be a lot more fun if he can actually see.

my heart will be fine

~~~~ ~ ~ ~  ~   ~I don't want that. I've done that

And if I always seem distracted
Like my minds somewhere else
That's because it's true, yes it's true
it's this stupid pride that makes me feel
Like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, loving you
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
When I guess I should have just come out and told you right from the start
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
I guess 'cause I didn't want to break your heart

I didn't intend that.

~~~~ ~ ~ ~  ~   ~I've been on both sides. Both hurt.

And you said
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak, you know
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
How could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time

~~~~ ~ ~ ~  ~   ~I guess it all comes around. The world's a big circle

It's just that I didn't mean to break
No I didn't mean to break
No I didn't mean to break Your heart

Why do I do this to myself?
It all seems a waste sometimes. Not worth it.

I can't make you appear, I can't make you real, I just can't

I don't want to need you anymore.

My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time

And now I'm over you, I'll be OK,
and that I've got what I want,
and that's rid of  you
 

Bye.

I love you : Dad

I see so much of you in me

because of that, I smile and think I am lucky

I know things can be rough and I want to help

because you would and have done the same for me

I want you to be happy and healthy

just as you want me to be happy and healthy

You've got me - you're not alone

 because I love you - call me anytime

My Camera is dying after almost 5 years of constant use

I have super sad news....

My Camera (Canon PowerShot SD870 IS) is dying after almost 5 years of constant use.....

Well the LCD is going out.... The rest of the camera seems to be alright for now. Luckily its just a line through the LCD - so I can see enough to continue to see decent enough to still take pictures. Its just REALLY annoying.

The gray/pink part is the bad part of the LCD, I took a pictures of my white fridge so you could see where the pixels in the LCD are dying/dead. I noticed a darker spot on the LCD a few weeks ago... and then yesterday I noticed a little section of dead pixels.... which grew into what you see above. I'm thinking the entire LCD will go because it seems the infection which is taking over my LCD is spreading (it seems to turn pink before dying)

I of course have been drooling over DSLRs.... but hadn't really looked into the pocket camera market as I thought mine would live forever. I went and oogled at cameras today with Keekster and have found that I really like the Canon PowerShot G12 for a pocket camera.

I still do want to get a DSLR as well. I'm pretty sure I'm down to getting the T2i as well.... Having the DSLR and the pocket camera will be great for when taping videos/tutorials/time lapse. That means I can take in progress pictures with the DSLR while the pocket camera tapes (or vice-versa).

Damnit karma.... I'm trying to not spend as much money

*shakes fist*
