huh. guess I've been absent from this here internets-space for awhile now.
For those of you who emailed me, I WILL respond soon, promise.

This semester I will: get internets at home, along with a new computer (making the PC-to-Mac leap) and....drum roll....A NEW CAMERA. Yes, yes, my Sony has served me well for 5 years now, but with 5mp becoming the norm, it's time to take a giant leap. I was thinking the Canon 30D or the Nikon D200 (so spendy), but...I think I've decided to stick with Sony since they just introduced a new, very affordable for what it is, DSLR, which seems to be giving Nikon and Canon a run for their money. Plus, it's 10.2mp.

So, enough of that. I can't concentrate properly since I'm doing a radio show right now, and playing a CD I picked up in Beijing. The guy told me he mixed it himeself, but there was either some miscommunication or it's just a bootleg. It's still good.

Contrary to plans for future purchases, I'm poor and I've foolishly decided to quit my job. Borders has fallen over the corporate ledge, officially, and too many good people have JUST left. It's not the same and the money isn't good enough to keep me there.

I'm not the most responsible person in the world sometimes, yet it usually works out. I'm beginning to think if it weren't for my wonderful parents, I would be destitute.

I have much to tell, between Europe and China this year, I've been overwhelmed and it's taking a long time to process, both pictures and memories.

I miss China.

Dunno that specific camera, but Sony's been doing some good things with their cameas, so it sounds promising. I'm a slave to Canon personally - The Rebel XD is is serving me well, and as I accumulate lenses when this one wears out I'll probably shell out for a more pricy body.

You're used to Sony optics at work, so I imagine it'll be what you want it to be - even when making that big a jump (I went from a 3MP powershot to the Rebel) it still has a distinctive look to the photos, so it'll probably be well within your expectations. Enjoy the camera and the full hard drive from all the photos [grin]...

Lady, Im your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, theres so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool
Im so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Wont you believe in my song?

Lady, for so many years I thought Id never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you
Theres no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, Ill always want you near me
Ive waited for you for so long

Lady, your loves the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
cause, my love, theres somethin I want you to know
Youre the love of my life, youre my lady!
