Looking around my grandpa’s house, I decided to check what was on top of the old dishware cabinet. There, sitting behind the fake plant decor - who knows how many decades it’s been sitting there - is a brown leather case. I open the case, and what do I find? An antique 8mm camera, manufactured by a company called “Keystone” in the year 1936. Unfortunately, these things aren’t very rare, considering the fact I saw one of them go for pretty cheap on ebay. I think it’s a treasure either way.
Also, today I decided to dive in and buy Super Mario Galaxy. I’ll give you my initial impressions once it comes in the mail, and once I have spent some time with it.
Finally - speaking of Amazon - I managed to come across a book called “YouTube for Dummies“. Yes, I agree. This book really shouldn’t exist.. and yet, it does exist, because I just found it on Amazon.
I think the word “dummies” is loosely used in this series. Rather, for YouTube, I think they should’ve used the term “Stupid idiots who don’t know how to follow instructions”. (If you happened to buy this book: I am extremely sorry.)

That’s pretty exciting that you found an old camera? Have you tried to use it yet?

Lauren: No, I haven’t tried the camera yet, simply because I do not want to break it, and it would be extremely difficult to find some film for it. Additionally, if I actually wanted to watch the video, I would have to get it developed.
Mandy: Nice to meet you, Mandy. I have no idea what girl you’re talking about, but that’s ok. =)

Hey–I found this from your facebook–thanks for adding me. I just wanted to mention that I am the proud (or not so proud) owner of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Taoism.” You really have to be humble to buy a book for Complete Idiots. Even Dummies, while used rather loosely, feels degrading when you’re one of those poor saps who bought the Dummies Guide to YouTube. I wonder if there’s a Dummies Guide to the Dummies Guides.
