[m i a o w] the cat

My days sans camera are at an end. After agonising as to whether I should order one from the US and get my mother to schlep it back, I decided that;
1) I couldn’t wait that long,
2) I don’t know how long ‘that long’ is,
and
3) I don’t know IF she would have brought it back…
So yesterday I went out and got the Canon Powershot A85. I was after the A95 - but it was $200 more than I paid with the only differences being one megapixel and no fold-out-and-pivot LCD screen - both of which I can [gulp] live without. On the plus side, it takes AA batteries, which I prefer, and compact flash cards - one of which I already own (thank you D & R).

Hey, these are the student cameras we got for my old work, just before I left. Not a bad camera I must admit - I borrowed one several times!
Love the video. Miss the Astor… Haven’t been in ages. Was thinking to go tonight to see Bradgelina in Mr & Mrs Smith, but will probably flake out on the couch instead… Such a beautiful cinema.

I love the Astor too! I have been going there since I was about 14 and in my ‘black and white movie’ phase. It’s hard to get out of the house to go though - I was lucky, I just went from work. Flaking out on the couch is always tempting…especially when you’re waiting for something…
;o)

Oh I so miss the Astor. And the Valhalla (which is no more :(). First movies I saw there were A Clockwork Orange and New Jack City when I was a straggely teenager.
