New Toys!
As you can see, I got my digital camera working last night, along with the rest of the computer. And of course, the first picture I took was of the computer. Or at least the monitor. What the hell, it was 3:30 am, and I wasn't at my most creative. The paper in the foreground is the instructions for the camera. To the left of that is the keyboard. The printer and speakers are at the top, and just off to the left, you can get a glimpse of some of my role-playing game books. Oh, and on the screen is a MUSH client program called SimpleMU. As you might have guessed, it's on my computer a lot.
And once I got everything up and running, how could I resist taking a picture of Max, the demon kitty?
He was a supreme bratling last night. Boxes to chew on and climb into! New stuff on the desk to check out! His favorite trick ended up being standing on the desk, positioning his body right in front of the monitor while he checked out the keyboard and the camera and whatever else new that he could see.
I tried to take a couple of pictures of myself last night, but they were horrific, so I decided not to share. But, I have the camera here at work with me today, so we'll see if anything interesting comes up. Hee. It's been a long time since I had a new toy. I'm enjoying myself immensely.
And I'm being inundated with ideas for this journal, now that I have a computer that can actually do things. I think the first thing I'm going to play around with is adding sound files. Maybe of me reading part of the entry, or the poem on the sidebar, something like that. All I can say is that I do not want to be at work right now! I want to be home so I can play.
I may update again later. For now, I want to go stalk my co-workers with my camera. Today is a 'Theme Day', with today's theme being Roll Out of Bed Day. So most of us (me included!) are running around with morning hair and in our pajamas. This could make for good blackmail.
