*I finally broke down and bought myself a nice new digital camera yesterday, so I can finally learn to get my camera to do exactly what I want it to do. This is the second new digital camera I've bought in the past few months. The Canon fully automatic that I have is still taking up residence in my purse for those spur-of-the-moment pictures that I love so much. This new mega-sized camera with it's lenses and such is too big (and expensive) to be carried around on a daily basis, but it is going to take some lovely shots.

To speed along the learning curve for the new camers, I enrolled in a photography class that starts next week. By the time my trip rolls around I should be able to take some decent photos with it.

*Gelato is lovely after a warm evening swim.

*Raises at work make me a happy woman.

*This weekend I went back and watched the first two episodes of Lost. What a trip down memory lane that was! Before the deaths of so many characters, before the Others, before we knew Sun could speak English, finding out the Locke was in a wheelchair at the time of the crash, the invisible monster that terrorized the jungle that is almost forgotten now, before the Dharma Initiative, before everything but pure survival.

Sometimes, I really miss what it used to be.
