Bald Jason's Musings
Saturday, June 9, 2007
I was on time for work, per usual lately. I worked over by nearly an hour, which is also per usual lately. After work Mark & I went to Lowe's & Meijer. I bought a back massager, as I tried one out on my neck, and it seemed to help with the headache I was having. When we got home I chatted online for awhile.
Before I left work, I found a voicemail on my phone from the previous night, from Corey. It talked about how sorry he was that things didn't work out and how much he really liked me, but there's just so much stress and drama in life relating to work, money, his roomie, and his future living space that he doesn't have time for anything else right now, which is what I suspected. We exchanged more messages later, relaying our mutual sadness and understanding at our parting, and our respect & affection for one another. Mollie later described this as a mature breakup...which is something I've never had before. Still feels weird.
I started talking to Mark & Bill about getting a digital camera like the one Bill used to have. Some of the really impressive new pictures on my webpage came from that camera, so I'm very happy with them. I've enjoyed the camera that I own, but my favorite thing about it was that I could take black & white pictures with it, and at the time that I got it, I'd never seen a digital photo that appealed to me. Well I've since seen some amazing digital photos, and while I'm not happy with digital black & white pictures, they no longer produce black & white film for my camera, though they do for Mark's. So, a digital camera similar to Bill's old one is very apppealing now. Plus I can take 150 pictures or so at one time, and then just load them onto my computer without having to scan them - and I can then save them onto a disc; no hassle. Mark seems to want one as well, and suggest we split the cost, which would be great for me, as I only have about $800.00 saved, and I'd put off buying the camera for a long while to save more money first. The camera we're looking at is about $600.00, but since Mark has some lenses that could be used on it, we might only have to purchase the body, which would be $400.00, and if we split the cost that would a huge bargain for us both. So...that's something that's going on.
I went to sleep a little after 10pm. I woke up a little after 4am. I saw that Mollie had just left me a message. I left her a message, and then she called me back and we talked until about 6:30am. I read the news on the computer, and later went back to bed, and woke up around 10am.
