woke up with a headache and the portion of my body between my knees and my waist still need about twenty paces of warming up each time i get up from my chair before the pain subsides. it’s a good reminder of how much i let myself and my fitness level go this summer. i let all the change and adventure be an excuse for slacking off. at least i got a new apartment and hugged jeremy out of it. i guess that’s worth a little pain.
for the next thirty-one days, i’m going to write down every single penny i spend on everything. i know where my money comes from, but i’ve totally lost track of where it goes. this newfound dedication to fiscal cognizance is brought upon my my seething, violent desire for a new camera. this is exactly how i felt before i got my Fuji. the indescribable lust for the one thing which would help me express all the creative things boiling around inside of me. while my camera has served me very, very well for the last two and a bit years, it’s time to move onto something with a little more creative control. i missed a lot of shots over my weekend away because of the limitations of my digital point’n’shoot. i don’t want to miss any more shots.
speaking of shots, i’ll be completing my self-imposed homework this weekend, probably tomorrow. i’m really looking forward to it. sometimes it’s nice to have someone else tell me what to take pictures of.
That’s too freaking weird, I was considering the exact same thing with the spend-o-matic log for this month! Bizarre!
shall i send you a copy of my spreadsheet? ;)
MS Money is great for that – you can import all of your bank transactions, add some of your own if you like, and categorize all spending.
It’s too bad MS Money hates me and I can’t make it work :/
i LOOOOVE Quicken for helping me track my monies.
photie from bc museum?
Oh, I was thinking of keeping it on my blog. Of course, since I so rarely get around to updating, I’d be sitting there for hours transcribing.
Hmm… hey, you SHOULD get that spiffy new camera. Yep. Definitely. Then just slide that old one over this way, and…. ;)
Okay, worth a shot. Wouldn’t it be less expensive to buy a film-based point & shoot for full control, and keep the digital for when you need instant feedback? I’m just figuring for an extra $800 how much film you could buy and develop (in the year or so before the NEXT “must have” camera came along).
And that would save money for a plane ticket to Woostah. ;)
