A Really Dull Cutting Edge

I have recently invested in a bunch of gadgets for myself. By gadgets I mean a digital camera and cable TV. These probably don't qualify as gadgets for the rest of the world, but in the low-rent technological bubble I live in, they fall into that category.

So first of all, cable TV is great! Wow! Have you seen this? Not only are there high-brow interesting science shows on the Discovery Channel (MythBusters) and the Science Channel (World of Tomorrow, What Really Killed the Dinosaurs), but enough cheesy, embarassing, and ultimately satisfying shows to kill an entire weekend-full of time. Taradise? Yes! (How much idiocy can be contained in one person? Tara Reid will show you!) GhostHunters? Absolutely! (My favorite because they never seem to actually find evidence of ghosts). My Sweet Sixteen! Amazing! (Spoiled rich brats with zero self-esteem berate their parents and various people in their employ in order to pull off stunningly shallow and horrible sweet sixteen parties! Yay!) Seriously, check out this cable thing.

My digital camera: I haven't owned a camera in years. My new and proud ownership has helped me reach the conclusion that the main reason to own pets is so that you have something to take pictures of when you buy a new camera. I now have about a zillion pictures of my two cats, for no apparent reason. I mean they pretty much look the same in every picture. I so far have only one picture of a human being, a friend of mine who got suckered into letting me take a picture while traveling in a cab with me. No escape = awesome photo opportunity.

I feel so modern. Maybe one of these days I will even get an i-pod.

Baby steps, baby steps....
