Rain Rain and more rain. Bleh.

Got the Camera!

I got the s5200 today. I love it so far.

Finally snow

It finally snowed yesterday. We got maybe an inch of snow. Right now the temp’s hovering around 32 degrees. Hopefully we can get more snow sometime soon!

Fidelity refund check

I Finally got my refund check from Fidelity, after almost a year of red tape. $115 so that’ll help with camera expenses.

COD Chasing

So I’m watching the Illini game and being bored. I read the “manual” for Cod’s trip. I can bring my laptop with me, I was worried that I wasn’t going to be able to. Now it’ll be nice to upload pictures to the compy at night instead of leaving them on the card and hoping it doesn’t get full.

Camera options part deax

After making $90 on eBay sales today, I’ve got around $256 or so left to save up for the camera! Awsome.

Camera options

So for the past month or so, I’ve been considering investing in a more professional digital camera. I currently have an Olympus D-540. While it’s decent at taking random pictures at parties and things, but it doens’t allow you to do more advanced photoshooting. So I decided to get a Fuji S5200 soon.

I can get it at Buydig with a Carry case and rechargable batteries with charger for around $365, including shipping. Not bad as other stores around here had it for more.

First outbreak of 2006?

Right now, it’s not looking like this’ll be the first High risk. The SPC cut out a big chunk of the Mod risk and toned down the text. Oh well.
