I have been using this camera for about 2 weeks now.  If you remember I was using the Argus Bean, well I got tired of standing too still to try and get a good clear picture so I retired it to my many other retired cameras.  This FujiFilm Finepx Z30 is great.  The few main features I was looking for in a blogging camera and everyday use camera was reliability with clear photos, fast start up time and portability.  I can throw this thing in my pocket and don’t even know it’s there, the pictures are great, very happy and the starting time is fantastic.  You just slide the front cover over and it is on ready for the first shot.  I absolutely love taking stupid random pictures with this.   It has a bunch of features packed in this little thing.  It’s almost as fun as my Nikon.

Today started off bad and I just knew I shouldn’t go hunting.  You ever have one of those days where you just know you should call off the whole day because of the way you feel.  Today was it.  I was a little excited there was an ad in our local newspaper of “a whole street full of garage sales”, I should have known better.  3 houses total of about 40 houses on the street.  I love it.  While I was traversing through the massive 3 home sales, I dropped my Pocket PC phone and cracked the screen, that was nice.  I never took out any insurance for the phone, because I just knew I would never break it, Ha ha.  I ended up calling it quits after that happend.  Not a thing found, except at my local Goodwill.  I got me a LCD bracket donated from Target still in the pack to mount my monitor for $10, a Texas Instruments Speak & Math and a Photoshare LCD photo album, not so satisfied with it, but I can’t complain for $3.  Oh well there’s always Saturday.

I know this has nothing to do with garage sales or any kind of sales, but I about died from laughing when I saw this container label.   I was searching Toys R Us website for their Toys R Us exclusive toys when I ran into this.  Boudreaux’s “BUTT PASTE”.  That is great.  I periodically search their site or go into the store and see what exclusive toys they might have that I can clutter my shelves with.  I thought this was the best advertising label I have seen in a long time.  I almost ran to the store and bought this for the heck of it just because I thought it was so funny.
