G3 is a goner

The industry expert, as over-flatteringly claimed recently by Mr L3 (Mister Lateralthinker Laughterinducing Luke), is proud to say that she knows her pixels from her pickles, her speed shutter from her cheese cutter, and her aperture from the Apache. And now not-so-proud to declare that her cammie is a goner, as good as being in the trash with the pickles.

My Canon PowerShot G3 is gone. After various battery life evaluations on several trigger-happy occasions, I have reluctantly concluded that either the battery has melted internally or the connection to the camera is screwed. The standard original BP-511 1100mAh Li-on battery stubbornly refuses to last through even half an hour of light shooting. Very light, mind you. It will just manage a dozen shots using the LCD, and then in an eyelid's blink, the exact same battery that has powered the entire G series, and even the new 10D, starts to blink red and die on me. Damn! Talk about a false sense of reliability.

Until an upgrade to my next DSLR happens in the near future, I will have no camera to live with, not even a fone cam... I might consider marrying the son of any photography shop owner...Approach my dad to offer your dowry okay?

my new year resolution

Dear Father God,

In the year 2005, I will resolve to stop wavering between who God says I am and who the devil continues to BLUFF me who I am. God, you have anchored me in Christ. God, you are my beloved and you have created me to be what I am.

In your word, Deuteronomy 28 assures me that: “If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, He will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not beneath.". Thank you Jesus! I will be strong and hold my head up! Lord, I pray that you answer my prayer and grant me wisdom to fulfil what your word says about myself. Nothing else - not glory, gold, nor guys - but wisdom.

I will be the HEAD, and i will be ABOVE.

Amen.
