quick update...

Aug 09, 2008 23:55

I really do have so, so, much to blog about! But I'm doing an epic recap (perhaps a couple of epic recaps...) and these things take time because I am LAZY AS SHIT. And shit is pretty fucking lazy.

Today is my parents' anniversary! Way to have sex and then eventually birth me, guys :D !!!!

Anyway, I need some LJly advice: I need a new digital camera and a new external harddrive.

Sadly because I need them both (well, probably the harddrive more than the camera) at the same time, I want to be a smart consumer. I already have a portable harddrive (as seen here. God, they don't even make this one anymore because it's so fudging small) but it's full. I was thinking about investing in a big ol' back-up one to back everything up on, and then use my portable one for storing stuff i don't want on my harddrive that I might need to access (ie movies and what not). I"ll probably just get a larger Western Digital, but I figured I'd ask if anyone's had bad experiences with WD, or great experiences with something else?

And for the camera, I really don't know. i have a 4 year old Sony Cybershot (4.1 megapixels) and the lens is all fucked up because all my pictures turn out kinda light and poor contrasty. (You'll see once I make my EPIC POOOOOST). I don't have anything against Cybershots because it's old and I probably dropped it a bunch of times, so I really don't think it's the brand's fault or anything. I'm looking for something relatively unexpensive (so obviously not a digital SLR, though that would be badass) and handy. Doesn't have to be crazy advanced or anything, just functional and easy to use. Anybody have any good recommendations?

I promise I'll tell you what's going on in my life when I"m not so fucking lazy (read: never). BUUUTTTT i've been spending a lot of time speeding up songs with Audacity so they sound like chipmunks. I even bought a mic so I could record my own slow vocals and sync 'em with karaoke tracks so they're the right tempo. I'M A GIANT NERD.

help, family, computers
