Word to your mother,
Hey, guess what? Remember when I talked about that ol' Rebel XT of mine biting the dust? Remember that? And I made a bunch of witty observations about topical things like politicians and gas prices? Remember that?
Well, we bought a new camera. A Canon PowerShot ELPH 300hs. Check it out here.
I wasn't gung-ho about ordering a point-and-shoot camera; as a hardcore SLR fan, its nigh cringe-worthy to even think about brandishing something so amateur and streamline. Where's the heart? Where's the creative freedom?
You see, Kris agreed that we'd have to buy a new SLR camera come next tax season. . . when we'd be able to afford to pay top dollar for high-quality, photographic hand cannon. In the meantime, we came to the conclusion that we needed something to tide us over. Sure, we both have decent cameras on our cell phones. . . but we wanted something with more versatility and speed.
After a few days of searching around online through various sites, I finally settled on the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300hs. According to websites like Consumer's Report, Newegg, and Amazon, this is more or less the best camera one can buy for under $250, so that's what we went with. I figured that once we have a SLR back in our arsenal, this new camera can be Kris' and everybody wins.
. . . except our bank account, that is. I suppose if our original camera hadn't broken in the first place, we wouldn't be in the position we are today. . having to buy two additional cameras.
Goddamn it.
Anyway, enough about cameras. Let's talk about my kids for a bit. Everybody likes talkin' about kids! I suppose I could talk about how little my kids are sleeping these days. Or how little they're eating. Or how little they're following parental instruct-
You know, screw it. I don't want to go into that.
I'm done.
