I am looking to find a new home for a Fuji S2 Pro that I am under using. Seems like it wants to be with someone who will use it to its potential.

In addition, I have three lenses: 60mm micro f-2.8 (not D), 24-120mm f-3.5-5.6D and 70-300mm f-4-5.6D all AF Nikkor, haze and polarizer filters, sb-28 flash with sb-17 cord and off camera slave, 40gb Tripper hard disk compact flash card storage, 2 compact flash cards each 512mb and a Lowe Pro camera bag.

The camera is about a year old and has a three year extension to the warranty. Everything is in like new condition. I would like to sell the system complete. Purchase price would be $2,000.

Thats about 6 grand worth of gear all told. *sigh*

I could *really* make use of that.

That'd be a great christmas gift. :)

Virgos arent normally one for gifts. This makes it seem that we dont care..

It is known that Virgo are trifling. And so, once it comes to giving gifts, everyone wants to give Virgo some insignificant thing. This is quite wrong.
Virgo is not small-minded, Virgo is practical.

Normally, Im one for gifts i can actually use, specially these past few years.

However, this year, think I'll treat myself to a few things ive long denied myself.

Not a big deal, just something i'll enjoy.

My list:

- Spiderman/Spiderman2 DVD box set

(Hey, Ive liked Spiderman since I was a tyke..)

- The Alladin DVD

(Partly for Robin William's work, partly because this was my niece and I's favorite video to watch together.)

Other things i want, but I can delay the gratification:

Id go for season's 1 - 4 of the Soprano's - but holy hell, have you SEEN how much they want for that???

BBC America has said that "Chef! - the complete collection" will be out on DVD. *sigh*
In BBC speak, 'soon' rarely means 'anytime soon' , so not in time for this christmas. Or likely the next.

in the meantime, i'll amuse myself with quotes from the show:

"Will someone rearrange this plate so that someone in the later stages of malnutrition will take a passing interest in it."

" Let me explain the order of things: There's the aristocracy, the upper class, middle class, working class, dumb animals, waiters, creeping things, head lice, people who eat packet soup, and then you. "


" Those amateur biologists among you would find many things of great interest on the floor here. I could certainly be walking on the cure for cancer, smallpox and the common cold...however you'll never find out because I'll kill you all if someone doesn't CLEAN THIS FRIGGING FLOOR!"





Also, the complete Black Adder set.

Heh "Oi 'ave a Cunning Plan." and other quotes that make me giggle:

"A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn. "

Blackadder: Baldrick, I would like to say how much I will miss your honest, friendly companionship.
Baldrick: Thank you, Mr B.
Blackadder: But, as we both know, it would be an utter lie. I will therefore confine myself to saying simply, 'Sod off and if I ever meet you again, it will be twenty billion years too soon.'

Heehee. *wipes eyes*

ok, now. Where was I....
