Canon or Nikon

That is the question of the week here at Look Busy. Last year I was drooling over the Nikon D40. I talked to the Captain about it and we decided to wait until the taxes were done and go from there. We got a refund but chose to hold off on the camera. Enter the stimulus check. I think I talked the Captain into letting us get a laptop. I had no valid reason for having one. I just want one. I don't go anywhere except my store and my house but still. When we go to my parents' place, it would be nice to have one. When we go on vacation we I won't have to sit in the lobby and be parked on the communal computer to get our my fix. So, I'm pretty sure we were well on our to getting a pretty pink laptop. Then I went to the best store on the face of the planet and boy, was that a chore to drag my ass out there. Oh how I hate it so. (insert sarcasm)

I was in that area of the store to get a new camera card because I have all up and lost the one we had. Nice right? We've been using the same card since we got the camera 5 years ago. Miracles. They happen. SO....I just wanted to look at the digital SLRs and damn it if I didn't fall in love all over again. I cheated on my laptop and am having a torrid affair with the Nikon on special. I saw the Canon as well and thus, my dilemma.

What does a girl do?
  • Get the Nikon?
  • Get the Canon?
  • Get the laptop?
  • Lose her mind trying to figure it all out?

Scratch that last one off the list. Done. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks folks!!

and hey, Canon and Nikon? I would be more than happy to test drive a camera if your heart is so warm and full of consumer love that you'd want to send one to me. I have kids, they are cute and I would totally take a bajillion photos. It would be fun. For both of us. Come on, you know you want to. I'm looking at you Nikon. Rawr!

I have a Nikon and I'm enjoying it, but I've also seen Canons take rockin' photos. It's a touch decision. See if you can take one for a test-drive at your local camera shop. That's a nice dilemna to have though! You know you're buying one of those fun things.

I'm totally all for Canon since buying "Hilary Federwhore" (yes, you must NAME your camera!).... but... I have to admit the odd longing for the new Nikon SLRs that send lewd and provocative spam to me via email. Hmmmm.....

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...

She Was Heartbroken

After reading about Kim and Reggie breaking up, the Monkey had a moment of silence to reflect on the love that is no longer there. And then she ate part of the page. Fiber! She needs fiber ya know! She wasn't as into the Saved By The Bell article like her favorite Auntie was (ahem) but she did kiss Zack Morris. No lie. Puckered right on up and layed one on him. He hasn't been the same since.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people
