| Thursday was a long day. I had to deal with money and cars the whole day. First off, my father’s car is going to be repaired and I’m going to continue driving it for a while. :( It super sucks, but since he’s paying the bill for the repairs I can’t really look that gift horse in the mouth. It’s better than me paying for another car. Ideally I would like to repair the Subaru, but that’s not going to happen. The final tally of the repairs to the Nissan is going to be about $1,600. Which brings me to the another car, my friend’s 1986 BMW. I went over to his house to test drive it and found it be quite the ride. I honestly wanted to buy it on the spot, but I had to wait until I heard about the Nissan first. When I got home I got the message that they mechanic is going to fix the Nissan, so I guess I won’t be getting the BMW. :( I must have known that I wouldn’t be getting another car because on the way home I stopped off at a camera shop and bought that Leica D-Lux 3 I talked about a little while back (pictured below).  Here’s the first picture I took, a picture of my TV and entertainment center stuff (pictured below).  So there you have it, in lieu of a newish car I got a new camera. I think the new camera will bring me a lot of joy. The first big event I’ll get to test my Leica is going to be my cousin’s wedding on Saturday. Woo Hoo! I’m so going to take a million pictures that day. I’m not entirely sure what aspect ratio to set the camera on though. I have three ratios to choose from: 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3. Being a traditionalist I think most of the pictures I take are going to be in 4:3, but I do want to experiment with the 16:9 ratio. I picked up my tux for my cousin’s wedding on Tuesday. Here’s how I look (without the jacket on though).  This is actually the first time I’ve worn a tux. I’m not sure if I’ll want to take it off after wearing it for five seconds or not. The other day when I was trying it on it felt pretty good though. I just hope not to sit around in the heat for too long or I’ll surly melt. I’ll be sure to post some pictures. Speaking of pictures, July 4 I went with Veeg de Amor Moreno to the Homenetmen Navasartian Games & Festival at my high school Birmingham (here’s us pictured below while watching a bad basketball game).  It was SUPER cool to check out my old school after so long. Here’s a picture of the school map.  It’s hard to see much detail, but that’s because I had to make it small to fit on this journal thing. Here’s a picture of my old photo class (the door anyway).  Lastly, a picture of my old locker. The open one was mine.  So yeah, I ran around looking at my old haunts while Veeg de Amor Moreno followed me. I’m sure she was like, “what the hell!?” It was fun.
