 Jeff and I went to our friend Scott's housewarming party yesterday, at which one of the activities was dissecting his old Nikon Coolpix. Turns out the repair costs needed to keep the camera working weren't worth it...and of course if you can't fix something, why not take it apart before you throw it out?  Fascinating to see what some of the innards looked like. I asked to keep a few more interesting pieces to turn into nerd jewelry. If I come up with something half-decent, I promise I'll post pics. Speaking of nerd jewelry, looks like the HTML Head earrings ("Make sure you don't walk around without a properly formatted Head!") I was lusting over a while back are available again! I immediately ordered a pair, and it looks like the seller still has one pair left. For those interested, there are other nerd earrings in the seller's collection, too, like these Pi earrings and even C/Alto Clef earrings for music geeks! But back to the housewarming: one of our friends brought Beef Lahmejune (sp?), also known as Armenian Pizzas, topped with ground beef and spices; I've never had these before. They were quite thin, and we rolled them up to eat with our fingers. Yum!  To all you cat people: thanks for all the feedback re: reading cat expressions! Holy toledo. Some of you are clearly half-cat yourselves. :-) I'm finding the discussion fascinating; it's also making me wonder how difficult it would be to learn "squirrel body language." There's a grey squirrel that's gotten into the habit of lounging on a tree branch outside our kitchen window, and he stares at me meaningfully when I'm cooking or washing up. Exactly HOW meaningfully, I'm not exactly sure, but I'm sure he's up to no good.  I'm going out of town to visit with friends this week, so Blatherings and my e-mail contact will be sporadic.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
