New Camera Thursday, May. 14, 2009 - 12:12 a.m. Yesterday, I'd doffed my duds and had the shower fixture turned on and ready to use and ALL of a sudden here was UPS. The delivery was at around a quarter to seven at night. I am certain there is a skin / porcelain / water corollary involved. --- What arrived yesterday was a new camera. Well, I mean, new in the box, but about a year and a half old as far as production goes. It's an Olympus FE-310, which uses the same AA batteries and XD cards as my D-390 does, except it's 8 megapixels instead of two and I can use 1-Gigabyte cards for storage instead of 32 Mb cards. I'm all set for the next time I see Keane, that's for sure. There'd been some gripes in the reviews about battery usage, but I use rechargeables and am having no problems; I sat here with a pair of fresh from the charger Energizer 2500 batteries, and took twenty flash pictures without a low battery indicator in sight. I predict this is going to be a good camera. But just for sure, my D-390 is safely stashed here in the electronics drawer. --- My bass and amp and related etceteras will be here on Friday. I can hardly wait! --- I also finished my writing assignment, which should have taken a hell of a lot less time than it did, but oh well. It's done. It was one side of one page and it stymied me. I spent almost two weeks dithering around with that thing. Had I written eight pages, I would have finished in an hour. Go figure. --- Reminder for those who give a patoot: Tonight is the last episode of this cycle of Hell's Kitchen. I'm pulling for Danny, but I'll be okay if Paula wins it. --- That's it. Have a good Thursday. ---
