Not Our House

The douche bags we tried to buy a house from recently just lowered their asking price from $249,900 to 234,900.

Funny, that’s less then what they would have gotten if they’d been smart and not screwed with us. Who’s the moron now, moron?

After the honeymoon I want to go back and offer $180,000 and say take it or leave it.

Cameras

Yesterday Jen and I went out shopping for Blu Rays (Quantum of Solace & The Godfather Trilogy remasters) and DVDs (Shindler’s List & Futurama: Bender’s Game) and took a few minutes to look at digital cameras and camcorders.

We’re trying to decide if we want to get a camcorder for the honeymoon. It’s a good idea, but we have two digital cameras that take decent video already. Jen then said something to me that has had me thinking all day. She said, with all the money she spent on the dress it would be okay for me to go out and get a new camera.

I have two digital cameras (as previously stated 10 seconds ago). The older one was purchased in 2005 when I got my first raise. It is a Kodak Z740 Zoom with 5 megapixels and a 10x optical zoom. I LOVE IT. I have never gotten better pictures in my life. It is wonderful. The lens is just outrageously awesome. I even took some time to learn to use the manual settings and have taken some great shots with it. I just love that camera.

The second camera is a Casio EX-S10. Jen bought it for me as an engagement present. We were planning to see Rush a couple of times that summer and I had said I would like a camera that was small enough to sneak into an arena to take some shots with. This one is only slightly bigger than a credit card. It is perfect for what I wanted. It takes 10 megapixel images and has a 3x optical zoom. It’s great. The pictures aren’t quite as clear and crisp as the Kodak. The lense is smaller and cheaper, but I have taken some great shots with it. I love it too.

I have no real need for another camera. I will take them both on the honeymoon and use the Kodak almost exclusively, but will definitely find times when the Casio is preferable. Honestly, I don’t really want another camera. I can use my Kodak for anything.

But…

If Jen really wants me to get another camera. (hehe) It couldn’t hurt to maybe do some online browsing, could it? Naw, there’s nothing wrong with just looking around.

Canon – Powershot 10.0-Megapixel Digital Camera (see also here): Yeah, that’s right. 10 megapixels and a 20x optical zoom. Holy Cow. That puppy looks kewl, don’t it?

I haven’t even gotten to the SLRs yet.

I’m So Tired…

I’ve hardly slept a wink…

12 days until the wedding. The 12 longest days ever. Last week was the longest week of my life, but it’s going to be nothing compared to this week.

To top it off, I am exhausted. I barely got any sleep on Thursday night, and then got less on Friday. Saturday we got up early to get to tee ball and meet with the DJ and the caterer, and then went home and napped for almost three hours. And still we were exhausted all day yesterday. We went to bed at a decent hour after flaking for the entire evening, and still I feel totally run down. I seriously need the long weekend to get here STAT, and I need the honeymoon right after it.

Jen is feeling sick today and is going to leave work early. I hate that she feels sick. I would much rather it be me than her. I want her to get better pronto. The bright side is that it’s better she get sick now than two or three weeks from now. The down side is that she’s sick and it sucks. Of course I’ll probably be getting it too so I have to take care of her while I can. Chicken Noodle Soup for dinner tonight.

Saturday… 2 weeks remaining

We meet with the DJ today. I just burned a disc with the song we want to use for our last dance of the reception. The DJ didn’t have a copy of it… after today he will.

We’re also giving the final counts to the caterer today. Two more large sized things we can check off our to do list.

There may also be tee ball and softball in the works today as well.

Another full day for us as we near the wedding planning finale.

Wedding Page Link?

Didn’t I used to have a link to our wedding page over there on the right —————> somewhere? I thought I did. I must have accidentally overwrote it during the big security minded blog split up.

Anyway, it’s back over there. It’s also right here too.
