The real reason

February 20, 2008 by Lauren 13 Comments

Ok, so here’s the real reason I freaked out so much about misplacing my camera. That FedEx package that had arrived earlier in the day had brought me some camera accessories! I ordered an extra battery and a charger for a crazy great deal. (My camera can only be charged when it’s sitting on the dock.) They’re not name-brand, so I’m completely prepared for the battery to possibly melt my camera from the inside, but I’m willing to risk it.

The other thing I bought was a mini-tripod!! I am so returning the huge one from Best Buy, because this little guy is all I need! (And it was only $3.99 at SterlingTek. It’s so cute!)

Obligatory quarter included

It fits in your pocket, and it’s so gadget-y!

small yet mighty

      What is that thing’s name (as I risk the ridicule of exposing my Lord of the Rings ignorance)? Because it should be your next cat’s name…what with the likeness and all…

        Yes. No. Yes. No. No. Yes. Master will take care of us.

        Good idea for the next cat’s name me thinks. Yes. Yes.

        Huh? I’ve lost two comments.

        I keep trying to say Smeagol is his name, but people call him Gollum. Then I try to link to a Google image search picture, but I keep getting denied. It’s a picture of a hairless dog! hehe…

    Did you buy one for all your friends with cameras that have standard tripod capabilities?

    Oh, and clever you taking pictures of your camera…you people with camera phones…

    Don’t you now need a tripod for the tripod or will you only be taking low pictures?

      That’s a good question… maybe it will balance on something. Have you ever seen the twisty ones that can grab on to odd things? I’ll see if I can find one…

      I don’t like changing Smeagol’s words – it makes him angry and all finger-bitey.
