I can't stand paying crazy bills for generic mitigating products. What is your opinion?
Foe the next ten posts, we will title the post with the subject line of the most intriguing piece of spam we receive that day. It's gonna be tough, too. Today we had like an eight-horse race.
So...
We got the video camera that we wanted. In one of the biggest upsets in recent memory, the B & H guy annihilated me in a head-to-head bargaining session. Who would have guessed? It was actually over before it started. He didn't buy into my "online offer match" argument and I immediately surrendered. I was just like, "Yes, you're probably right. May I buy one of everything please? The more expensive models, yes. The four-year warranty? Sounds perfect."
Anything to get out of there. That place is insane, like a Terry Gilliam acid nightmare. My item actually came shooting out of the floor like two minutes after I ordered it.
Maybe I shouldn't be, but somehow I am still happy. We got the camera we wanted for a decent price. And the early functionality tests are very good. This is a cool thing we bought. I was kind of hoping it would look a little better on the TV, but I guess the HD actually makes the lack of resolution more apparent. It'll work fine, though. Baby Bungle is almost as cute on tape as she is in person.
Let me be clear: I am excited as hell about this new item and I intend to use it all the time.
And I am looking forward to editing a montage of softball called-shots and the ensuing at-bats on my new Mac. Someday.
If, that is, the camera works on a Mac. There is apparently some doubt. I may barge over to Joe's at some point this week and shove my camera into his Mac to find out.
The boys at FJM haven't been posting much lately, but when they do, it's usually pretty good.
This may give you nightmares. Especially because it's "real." If that thing was within two hundred yards of me I would pop my cyanide pill, shut my eyes, and scream until death took me.
Whodat? (10)

The forecast calls for a miserable week at work, with Monday seeing the worst of it. I want to take a nap with the covers up to my chin. Maybe next weekend. Maybe when I'm 73.Every time I sit around whining about how much I miss 1980's basketball, certain images flash through my mind and I catch myself.
