The D200

The D200, originally uploaded by Itinerant.

It goes back to the store, even with the "restocking fee" hit.

Truly a great camera with great handling, speed and exposure - but Im less than enamored of it's white balance and colors.

This is a camera that is built for people who like to live in photoshop. Since Im not one of them, it isnt for me.

Fact: There are three golf balls on the moon.

Today's horrorscope sez:

Just because you want something doesn't mean you have to get it -- remember this when you walk past something that you want but can just barely afford to buy. Impulse buying might be gratifying for a minute or two, but the long-lasting financial sting is not worth this temporary joy. There are important investment opportunities coming up, and you need to have capital on hand in order to make the most of them.

Yeah..

A new camera, MacBook Pro or lens would be nice - but there is now no rush to get any of them right now. Time to breathe and take a rest from the brekneck spending Ive been doing this year. Sometimes it is good to ease up and not spend anything.

Still, my shopping list isnt quite filled yet.

The intensity of your emotions has caught you by surprise on more than one occasion of late and you can no longer deny the feelings you have for someone you have been admiring from afar. Should you make your feelings known to them? Yes, you should, but not until Mercury, your ruler, turns direct on Thursday.

My logical side knows to watch out for my emotional side, the only time I never trust my gut. Especially now.

Still, this has definitely caught me by surprise.

Hopefully, it'll just blow over like all the others.
