Thank you, Canon

So, Canon is replacing my camera. They're all "this is not a recall," but when you have a whole slew of cameras that have the same malfunction, and you offer to fix all of them en masse, that's a recall, in my opinion. I don't care what you call it. Thanks for fixing it, and I'm good.

That sounds kinda rude, but considering I paid $376 for that camera two years ago ($576, by the time you count batteries, case, charger, memory card, and card reader), I really am very happy Canon is doing the right and responsible thing, and fixing my camera. :)

My birthday was wonderful, thank you for asking. It was nice to finally have a good birthday again, because trust me, most of them since I turned 21 have sucked pond water.

So, I have new items which are not yet up on the site, on accounta I can't take images of them and there are too many up there currently which are sans image. But there are sterling silver and blue opal linear drops, 14k gold-fill & strawberry "quartz" linear drops, and a black leather unisex necklace with free-floating sterling silver rings and bali beads. I have ideas for more, so probably when I'm unemployed again in January, there will be new things for February and spring. :)

People, I have gained weight. I weigh more than I have ever weighed in my entire life, and when I caught sight of myself in a big ol' dressing room mirror this evening, I was NOT thrilled. The diet has begun in earnest. I will add that it is particularly cruel that I am gaining weight now, when I spent my entire life until just a few years ago eating whatever I wanted, when I wanted, with no thought to weight gain. Everyone told me I was *too* thin. I did not care, because I was happy with how I looked. I wish I had really loved my body then, instead of being so profoundly self-conscious, because it was a much better body than the one I am currently occupying and can't stand the feel of. If I ever get my old body back, I vow to thoroughly bask in the comfort of it and never, ever take it for granted again. And just for the record, I see girls every so often who have the same body type and build as I used to and who weigh what I used to weigh, and all those bitchy women who told me I was too skinny were full of crap; I looked guuuud.

::sigh::

ciao, bella. ciao.

Okay, this is a very belated happy birthday which shows how much I obviously suck as a friend and all I can offer in my defense is that I got sucked into the whole "kid-with-stomach-flu" nightmare and basically lost an entire week except for a few moments here and there. Still, I promise to make it up to you at the show on Saturday - that seems like a good place to find a birthday present ;-)
