The topic: When I had the camera out
----------------------------------------------

I took a couple of pictures of the kitties. This one was originally upside down, since I was on my back when I took it and just set the camera to my side. It's Skipper.

The topic: I went outside this morning
----------------------------------------------

To speak with Skip. I think he’s been a little under the weather. He was laying on the cement by the pool and I laid down by him. I rolled over on my back and looked up at the sky.

It was one of those cloud and moon things that needed to be caught with a camera. So, I came inside, grabbed my Canon 40D with the 28-135mm zoom lens, went back outside and laid back down on my back. And I started shooting.

I bet with my huge macho lens I’d be able to capture the man in the moon waving at me. But I couldn’t use that one while laying on my back, I don’t think. I’d probably break my nose.

The topic: So, after my excursion to Walmart yesterday
----------------------------------------------

Anyway, I ended up going to Amazon and doing a search for Disney imports. Lots of Japanese CDs that aren’t available in the U.S. Then, since some of them were priced over forty bucks, I um, searched for downloads. Found some. Downloaded them. Then had to edit the info. After I’d exhausted the download options, I went over to eBay.

Bought four more CDs on eBay. Both new and old. The most expensive was $17.00 because I wanted expedited shipping. So much out there! Right now, I’ve got over 10gigs of Disney tunes.

Ever heard of 14 Karat Soul? Me, neither, but they have two Disney CDs out. And you know the game Dance Dance Revolution? They have three Disney CDs out. “Eurobeat Disney”. Techno music. Lots of Karaoke.

My head was swimming. And I had a headache to go with the swimming head. *lol*

After I made myself shut down and leave this room, I headed out to the family room and watched a DVD I’d gotten from Netflix a couple of weeks ago (note to self, start watching these when you get them since Netflix is charging six dollars more a month now; they split streaming and unlimited DVDs, $7.99 each instead of $9.99 for both). I thought it would be a snoozefest, which is why I hadn’t viewed it yet, but I really liked it. “Conviction” with Sam Rockwell and Hillary Swank.

Back to work!
