Anyone have any recommendations on a camera which would perform well but not break the bank? I'll probably make this purchase in the next 2 days...
I went to the salon yesterday to get my hair did, but I was waiting on my hairdresser to finish up her previous client (no, no happy endings there, thank you very much), so I went to the bathroom. Their bathroom is extremely small with no real ventilation. I'm guessing some hung-over stylist drank a gallon of Guinness (or Manhattans - WHATEVER!) and then went to Taco Cabana after the bars closed the night before. Evidence was that the prior bathroom occupant took a big hairy dump which can only have been life affirming for them, and damning for the unfortunate who followed them in the space. Add to that they sprayed the room full of Lysol - GAG! So now instead of smelling like evil poo, the room smells like evil poo and equally suffocating Lysol. YUCK.
You know how that works, though - no matter how bad your own poo smells, everyone else's always smells worse to you. At least, that's the case with me, since mine never smells bad.

Ya can't go wrong with a Cannon.
When in doubt, the more megapixals, the better the pic.
OH My GOD!
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about! Flowery Poo, or in this case Lysoly Poo. So bad you can taste it. I can't take it. I hold my breath, but I got a lung condition so that's not smart. Alas I end up suffering...
Love the picture of Jables by the way! I was going to blog about my hard-on for him tonight! Weird that you posted him!
You could try lighting a match to clear the air. But with all the aerosol hair spray in the air, that might blow the place up.
dick - I may pick that one up... film at 11!
dogma - I couldn't decide if the medicinal Lysol smell was better or worse than flowery spray - both made me gag and my eyes water. Yuck.
mj - yeah, I didn't think of lighting a match. Shit, the lysol itself may have been thick enough to combust.
I like my digital camera, Kodak CX7300 Easyshare series, which has some decent editing software. And, they're not expensive. Got mine on eBay brand new for about $100.
Just be glad the toilet bowl was half empty rather than half full.
See, can't go wrong with a poo post.
'Hairy dump'
How is it that big dumps always seem hairy?
what does it m.a. - OK, wow - that sounds affordable. I'll check it out!
chuck - *LOL* Yeah, at least there was a courtesy flush preceding their departure.
tickersoid - Yes, bodily functions - who can't relate? Actually, I assume other people (like the guilty party in this story) have hairier dumps than I do. Then again, as I've mentioned before, mine smell like roses.
As horrid as that situation was, it is far worse when you go into a vacant multiple-seater bathroom which absolutely reeks and someone else enters while you are there and you just KNOW they assume it was you!
Our receptionist leaves letal amounts of poo stentch behind her, but she is on a pretty regular schedule the rest of us have come to pay attention to.
Good luck with the camera, I am looking into a new one too. Let us know what you get!
Um, I'll readily admit my stench could compare with 100 wild hairy taco shits from Satan himself...ON A GOOD DAY... however... I do have a confession...
Tho I dislike anyone else's shitstench, I will admit that if I am in the restroom to do #1, if I smell someone else's shitstench... it makes me do #2.
Funny thing is, my sister has the same reaction driving by a McDonalds... smelling those burgers cook is enough to kick her colon into hyperdrive.
I have a new Sony Cybershot 6.0, 12x zoom & like it. I obsessed over it for 5 months before I bought it. Purchases like that are tough, you want to be sure.
barbara - GREAT point - I've never really thought it through - it's a childish instinct, probably, but I feel really self-conscious about exiting a room full of someone else's odor, dismayed that someone will think I'm responsible. For goodness' sake - my perfumes are Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Cartier. How could anything affiliated with me stink, and heaven forbid I'm accused of same?
heather b - your receptionist sounds like my boss' husband with his eye-watering poo smell that wafts from the back of the building to the front at my desk. Ugh.
nongirlfriend - we must be related, darling!
nuggetmaven - wow. That is amazing, and very bold ofyou to admit. I hope I never have to find out how accurate your description is! *L*
shpprgrl - yeah, I sorta agonized over it, but finally decided on teh canon rebel xt - which the next commenter may not approve of. We'll see how it turns out.
lj - wow, thanks for the info. I took the plunge today and got my camera. I should have a photo on my blog tomorrow (if blogger lets me post a foto - they haven't been working lately for some reason.) Micro is what I really need for mylampwork -you know how that goes.
Thanks for the tip on the batteries - best to be an informed consumer, I suppose. I'm going to put it through its paces and make a decision quickly on whether or not to keep it.
Good luck. All cameras are designed by sadistic techno fiends. The question is, did you buy from a designer techno fiend you can relate to?
Lammmmmpwork. (Say that like Golum would say "precious")
lj - I tried out 3 cameras, and picked the one that took the best photos of my beads there on a white piece of paper in the camera store. I tried a Nikon D50 or somesuch, a Pentax, and the Canon Rebel XT -and honestly rather than the $899 pentax and canon, I was hoping the $500something Nikon would please me most. Not so - my beads showed to best advantage with the Canon. I should have a pic to upload next time I post. I'm Excited about that!
Yup - my precious... You're gonna like my lampwork, lj - it's not a feat of mathematic precision, but my wonky forms will appeal to your gypsy soul.
Wonky 'r' us, fer sure!
yay wonky women!
