I have no business blogging this week. But I'm really good at avoidance and denial, and I promised Melissa (who is suddenly blogless? what???), so here goes:
I got a new toy today!

After longing for one since
Nin posted about it, then getting to
play with my uncle's, I finally gave in and dropped a chunk of my savings from summers at camp on a D-Lux 4. Love. The very first picture:

I could be
lamer cooler, but it would be hard. I got up early, booked it to UPS, and drove straight to the office, where I charged the battery then took a pic as soon as I could!
More fun shots from today:

Waiting for seminar to start. (Hi Zach!)

My prof, making faces at my friend who was taking the pictures.

Shan and I went for a little walk around campus (sometimes you just need to get out of the building!) and I made her model for me.

This picture sums up one of the biggest reasons I bought the camera: in a dimly-lit restaurant (yeah Knit Night!), after the sun had set, I got a great picture without using the flash. Love.
Now, back to work! =)
