More than occasionally, I like to waste away a few hours playing a silly on-line roleplaying game. I've gone through different phases with this game. None of them include me being very good. I like to play online. But I never talk to anyone, I rarely team up with anyone, and I just like to go around and be a hermit.

I think its just odd. I hole up in my room, and then hole up inside the game. Why don't I just play the regular game where there's no chance whatsoever of having people kill my character? Because that bores me. And mindlessly doing the same thing over and over again on a public server doesn't. Is this some kind of exhibitionism?

Anyway, I almost bought a digital camera today.

Picked it out, only the display was left, and I could get that for $14 less than the camera goes for normally. Buy it, feel a mild twinge because I'm not sure I can afford a camera. In the car, driving home, I open the box. Everything looks alright, but I can't find the memory card. Search the box, the camera, the accompanying paperwork. Nope. No memory card. Re-check the box. Yup, supposed to have one. I go back to the store, they can't find a card to replace it. So... I return the camera and get my money back.

I should probably do more research and find the best camera to fit me and all that jazz. But I want a sexy looking tiny camera that is easy to carry around and I want it right when I see it. I don't have patience for product research. It bugs me. I just want to hold it in my hand, feel how it works, try a few functions, see if I could life with it, and then I want it RIGHT THEN.

I've been using the digital cameras of others for the last few years. Now that I'm moving where I know noone, it would probably be best to just get my own.
