the retard of a camera

so i declared my camera officially dead somewhere along august 6th. now, a FULL MONTH later, i turned it on, as i do every week, in a desperate bid for it to say “AHAHAHA!! i was only kidding with you babe!”

to find that it was just.. doing exactly that.

no it’s not totally revived. but check this out.

that’s right, that’s taken with my camera, for the first time in a month. that’s the bush right outside my apartment somewhere, in full spring bloom.

my camera is being an asshole. the majority of the functions are still “hung” or “stuck” however you want to put it. and it’s all fucked up in the sense that, instead of the “picture viewer” it’s the “picture taker”. instead of “movie mode” it’s “picture taker”.

and instead of picture taker… i have a picture viewer! (not sure if you can understand it).

let me try and illustrate it.

so looking at that horribly drawn picture, it became this:

A became B; B became A and C. C disappeared and finally D… is not usable but can also be found in A by pressing another button.

but since everything is fucking hung on that stupid camera, i can’t change the set up, settings nor colours to the pictures.

the truth is, i am glad, even if it refuses to interact with my pc, but with my equally dead laptop. it’s like “the campaign of cheryl’s dead equipments! sign up here!!!”

i started clicking away. then walked out in the middle of cleaning my room, with my hair all messed up, in t shirts and barely there shorts, and started snapping away.

people started staring, as i started to try and re-figure out my camera. it won’t jump out of certain folders soon, but the time between taking one pict to the next had pretty much shorten. then i noticed that i was extremely cold. oh wells back home i go.

i heard there are new jobs out in civic so i might go out tomorrow to sign up for them soon, then i would be taking more pictures! once i get work, the first thing i am going to splurge on… would be camera and new time magazine renewal and perhaps a Monthly magazine’s subcription. that mag rocks. nice mini essays there.

in the mean time… should i declare this camera as alive? or dead?
