Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Those Twilight tattoos are amazing.

Mostly that there are that many people who both want a Twilight tattoo and are legally old enough to get one.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In testing-out-the-new-camera news, I'm really happy with the macro capabilities. That photo is straight out of the camera, no Photoshopping at all.

“Not dead yet!”

Trudy is me.

And was it me, or was the one facial representation of Edward really fucking ugly?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why am I always hungrier on weekends?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Gorgeous, Tep.

Teppy, nice photo! I need a new camera. I'm happy with my Kodak Zx1 for video, but it takes crappy stills.

Because books.

Oh, Tep, that's fabulous. Now *I* want that camera.

Now watching small child dance in front of the mirror to old Muppet Show musical numbers. (Current favorite "Hugga Wugga")

It's a 2008 model, so I found it for ~$220. With an extra battery and my impatient 2- to 3-day shipping, it was around $260 total.

I still have to work on the best settings for landscapes, groups/parties, etc., but it seems pretty good.

To *me,* it's a small camera, particularly compared to my old one. However, it's not small like an Elph camera. It has an enormous LCD screen that works well even in bright sunlight, which is good, because it has no optical viewfinder (which I knew when I bought it, and that was a tradeoff for the 10x optical zoom and overall quality; I really would have preferred having an optical viewfinder, but the LCD screen should be fine, even if it eats batteries).

Recipe please?

Jess, have you downloaded the epicurious app? I LOVE it. I left some Ahi steaks out Friday morning to defrost and forgot to look for a recipe Friday at work. So when I was in the grocers, I clicked on the little app, put in "Ahi steaks" and it came up with a recipe (19 recipes, actually, though more if you put in "tuna steaks"). I love the way you can immediately have it translate the recipe into the shopping list, too. Worked great on the fly. Picked up the tomatoes and onions, basil out of the garden....was YUM!
