8282 - festival of Hilaria

[scottobear]

Well, I went and got a Nikon coolpix l2 (the 6 megapixel version)at office depot on sale.. got a 1 gig memory card to go with it. I'm no pro, so this should hold me for quite some time.

Sometime this weekend, I'm going to hit the tree zoo, or do some camera-safari-type action. not sure if I'll do it today or tomorrow, depending on which way the wind blows.

Camera also has a video making capability, see Newt Chase a paper wad here. (Kindly ignore the pile of socks visible at the end... I was preparing laundry piles when I got distracted and decided to play with Newt instead.

Please, no overly mean or dangerous April fool's jokes on or around me today. thanks. Instead, of me pranking other folks, have the Origin of April Fool's Day, via how stuff works, and wikipedia has a nice entry as well. Some Hoaxes taking place this year.

Coding4fun! - Randomly Opening CD Tray would drive me nuts.

My Scotto utility belt now contains a pda, a gps, a beeper, a cell phone, and a digital camera. Every one of them has a built in way to check what time it is. Why on earth would I want to wear a watch?

Moment of Lyric (mp3)

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser

See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you - and that’s the only way

Shake - shake yourself
You’re every move you make
So the story goes

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Say - you don’t want to chance it
You’ve been hurt so before

Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin’ one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity’s sake
There’s no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You’ve got to want to succeed

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

After my own decision
They confused me so - owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you’ve got to go
Look before you leap - owner of a lonely heart
And don’t you hesitate at all - no no

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(repeat)

Owner of a lonely heart

Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart - owner of a lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start - owner of a lonely heart

Don’t deceive your free will at all
Don’t deceive your free will at all - owner of a lonely heart
Don’t deceive your free will at all
Just receive it

Thats one good thing for sleeping in. You can't trick people after midday.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Hopefully!!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I've never heard that rule! I think you made that one up! I cry foul!

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Maybe its just a British thing then, but over here the tricks don't count after midday.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

or maybe you're trying to april fool from over the ocean!

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

No, seriously thats the tradition over here.

I love the video---he IS part dog! Please give him some big big kisses on his noggin for me---just for being such a sweetie.

For some reason I've been listening to Owner of a Lonely heart this week as well! I found a cover version on my computer I'd downloaded but I decided I needed to hear the real thing so I dug it out.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

great minds think alike!

many kisses showered on his fuzzy noggin for you. :D

Oh cool, you have a cat that retrieves...I mean that is wonderful. Most cats will not bring it back.
He is darling!!! It was nice to hear your voice too.
Cool! Thanks Scotto.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Newt's usually better about bringing it right back.. but once things are committed to video, the world changes!

Thnak you for your kind words!

[starjewel.livejournal.com]

Nice!
I miss the Coolpix models with the swivel lenses... awesome for taking self portraits :P

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Neat! I never saw those!

[greenelvish.livejournal.com]

Yay! I have a Nikon CoolPix as well! It doesn't have the slightly blurry quality of my old camera, which made all the pictures turn out soft and pretty looking, but other than that, I'm very satisfied with it.

Aww, I can't watch the Newton video from work. Must do that when I get home...

Hee hee, now that song is stuck in my head...

glad you're back in action! :D
