War marketing and we're going to buy in.

Wow - so many media reports and none of them mention that the number of ISIS fighters was: 8. So much hype and drama about American troops being in danger, even though they were across the very large base, a few km away. 8 dudes, seriously?

Goddammit. I am without a doubt the stupidest fucking idiot I know. Not one functioning brain cell. Just, a goddamn moron. I left my Kodak camera in the jeep for a day or two, and remembered it last night. When I brought it in, it immediately began sweating, literally, water ran down my hand before I got the length of the house. So, I, in my infinite fucking wisdom, opened the little door where the card and battery go. I pulled out the card and battery, and left the little door open so that any condensation inside would get air and dry right the fuck out. Which it did. Then, when I was putting things back together today, I powered up the camera, and was greeted with "The camera has lost the date/time and needs to be reset.", and then showed me the options: Reset Time/Date, and Cancel.

GODDAMN IT.

You see, friends and neighbors, some time ago all the buttons on the back of my stoic little Kodak decided to cease to function. All I can see, all I'll ever see, is that message: "The camera has lost the date/time and needs to be reset." Nothing can be done. There is nothing to be done. "The camera has lost the date/time and needs to be reset."

I coddled this camera for two years, making sure it never, ever ran the battery down. I would be doing something, and all of a sudden "Ooh, I better charge the Kodak!", because I knew it was over if the battery ever went dead.

That little camera would take pics that put the big, bulky Fujifuckingpieceofgoddamnshit I bought to shame. The Fujifuckingpieceofgoddamnshit has never taken a pic that even compares with those Kodak pics. EVER.

And I took the battery out. Fuck. FUCK.

I loved that little camera. Thinking on it, now, it may well have been my favorite possession. I cannot readily think of anything I own that I've thought more of, than that camera.

Goddamn I'm a fucking idiot.

I'm sorry grav. I liked your pictures too.

I can't help but notice that there seems to be more wrong with that camera than an error message on the screen.

Sundae · 02-20-2015, 03:20 PM

Shit, Grav. That's angry.

I loved my Kodak. And my Mum's Kodak (bought to replace mine because it was the only digital camera she'd learned how to use).

But once again Dad "tidied away" the charger, so she had to get a whole new camera. Hmmmm. Bear in mind this is the third or maybe even fourth such incident. He has Alzheimers, she doesn't, you'd think she'd learn.
Also she said, "I don't think it was a very good camera anyway." Yes it was, Mother. You thought it was bad because you keep trying to take photos of two lively little boys in one shot and don't get why the camera focuses between the two of them.
And then, after asking my advice about a replacement you then buy the cheapest one on the market which finishes the job of trashing my nails as I try to insert the card and battery because it's not nice and chunky like the one it's replacing, it's plasticky and feeble and I wish you luck with it because I can't write you a crib sheet like I did with the Kodak because I'm completely unfamiliar with it...

So I feel your pain.
But I only bit off my fake fingernails, I didn't attack them with a hammer.

Oh, I fixed the error message. It doesn't come up. Anymore.

I was angry. So very angry indeed. At myself. Still am, and will be for not a little while. So I broke out the ol' ST5010 ACME Decombobulator.

Also:

I require closure.

Gravdigr · 02-20-2015, 03:48 PM

A hammer is a wonderful thing.

Gravdigr · 02-20-2015, 03:49 PM

I still can't believe I took the battery out.

Don't ever wear fake nails.

Words of wisdom right there.

Is a fake hammer required to hit fake nails?

C'mon, it's a reasonable question.

Gravdigr · 02-20-2015, 04:12 PM

Does one need to have false teeth to chew false nails?
