Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Should I go buy a $1000 camera that is on sale for $800? It would mean that I could take my own show photos and keep my portfolio up to date, but that's a lot of money.

What make/model of camera?

Heh. I've done a number of shows that had nudity in them, but I don't think they qualify as porn.

Keep trying I guess.

It's the SLR Digital Rebel with a zoom lens.

You can get a Digital Rebel body for $600-650 since it's now discontinued. Good or bad zoom lens?

I edited my previous post to include a link. It's the 18-55mm lens.

If you're willing to risk the small camera companies on EBay, you can have it for $600-700 with the 18-55.

The Rebel XT is better, though. They fixed the problems with the original digital Rebel. Problem is the body alone is $800; with the lens it's $900.

I love my Rebel XT, though. It's worth saving your money for.

Hm. Thanks, Dylan. I'll consider some more.

Our (only) phone has been breaking down (five years old and broke -- WTF?). So I went to Fry's this past weekend and bought a new cordless phone. $80! With 10,000 features WE DON'T NEED! Because that's ALL YOU CAN GET!

Anyway, this isn't the point of the post. Susan suggested I give Annabel the old phone. She's been walking around with it, holding it up to her ear, going "YAH-BLAH-BLA!"

Heh.

Awwww, cutie-pie Annabel! Perhaps, now she will have incentive to actually start using more words. ;)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hee. I just heard on the radio, Away In A Manger to the tune of Smooth Criminal. "The little lord Jesus, no sound he makes. Jesus are you ok? Are you ok? Are you ok, Jesus?"
