From 2007 Pic A Day

Oh Crap!  Pentax just released the new K10D Digital SLR camera which is “Pentax’s first forray into the serious-amateur digital SLR market”.  After thinking about it for about half a second, I’ve come to the conclusion that I want one. 

Here’s a quick rundown of my favourite features (that my current camera doesn’t have):

• 10 megapixel APS-C CCD – good stuff
• Shake Reduction
• Dust and weather resistant seals – I shoot on rainy days too.
• Supersonic motor compatible – faster auto-focus
• Selectable RAW format (PEF / DNG)
• Dedicated RAW button
• Battery grip with SD / remote holder – bigger camera, more power, and storage!
• Large LCD with wide viewing angle – more than just you can see the picture you just took

Now, I love my camera (Pentax *IST DS) but this thing is awesome.  I’m going to have to try very hard not to run down the streat and buy one.  I’m working on a project just down the way from Henry’s where the damn thing is selling for just over a thousand smakeroos! I can’t afford that.

Ok, so I’m renting the Season One of Prison Break. It’s not a great show but it’s not horrible either. I watched a couple of episodes last year and didn’t hate it. Now that it’s out on DVD, I’m giving it a go and suprisingly, I’m in to it.

Yesterday, I found out that the Season Premier of Prison Break was on. I got all panicy and assumed that I had to go home immediately and watch 10 eposoded in a short span of time… Holy Crap… Finally it dawned on me that I own a PVR and I could simply record it for later viewing. Wow, what a relief.

Now I have all the time in the world to catch up. So, I only watched six episodes last night. Just four to go.

Ok, so my fridge broke down a few weeks ago. Bummer, I know. I had to throw out all my food! Actualy, the fridge needed a good cleaning out anyway. As many of you may know, I don’t spend a lot of time eating at home, so, food tends to go bad in my fridge anyway. I cleaned it out and called my landlord.

In his infinite wisdom, my landlord ordered a new fridge but said it would take about two weeks for it to arrive… I waited.

Well, it arrived this week, hooray! So, Mr Chan came over on Tuesday to help unpack the new fridge (they come in boxes) and remove the old one. Installing the new fridge was fun, I’ve never done that before. We plugged it in and I put my bottle of warm water in there to chill. We then carried the stinky, leaky, crappy old fridge out to the front yard.

Once there, I asked my landlord where the truck was that we would be loading it on. He said it would be there, ‘in a few days’. Well, it’s been five and I’m still the proud owner of a smelly old fridge on my front lawn.

I feel so white trash. All I need is an old tub, a truck on blocks and a transmission and I’ll be all set.
