My birthday is coming up in a few days. Always (obviously) in the middle of everyone else's plans to celebrate theNew Year - my birthday is overlooked. People go on vacations, some go to party's, some get married ...lol. This year a few people are getting together upsate and I am going too. Me and Alex, Kevin and Valerie, Vova and Gretel, Flo and his new girl from Russia, and Erica and her boosom buddy Alona. I am sure to have a good book , or three , to read and keep myself occupied as the whole group smokes themselves to oblivion and plays poker (not my cup 'o tea). I never was into anything but the occasional glass of wine or Long Island Iced Tea. Weed is not for me. =)
Anyway, on a lighter subject, I am trying to negotiate all my friends and family and loved ones to chip in so that I can buy myself a Nikon D90 camera with the works. I found a listing.. actually Alex found a listing on Ebay for about $1500 and it includes everything you can imagine. Three lenses, 2 carriers, 16GB of memory, batteries, all the cords, tutorial CD's, filters, 2 tripods, etc... So I am salivating. I can't wait to take my first picture. I have seen so many things these past few months and wanted to take pictures of them and wasn't able to regretfully. Like the iced over branches of the birth trees in PA a few weeks ago. The sun shone on them and made them a brilliant road of diamonds. It was aew inspiring. I made Yana go for a walk with me in the cold with Pica and Red and it was just a treat for my eyes. I could have taken some seriously beautiful pictures then. And when I see Pica and Red cuddle up on thier spot - what a nice picture... I find myself thinking about all the pictures I could be taking if I had the equipment.
Alex seems down to buy the camera off that listing and whatever money I get I will give it back to him. I know some people will not budge on getting me a real gift, not money ... one of those would be Yana. She told me a few days ago that she got me two tickets to Wicked on Broadway!!! I have been trying to go see it for years .. ever since it debuted liek 6 years ago! I was taking a playwriting class at Mercy College up in Dobbs Ferry and my professor went to see and couldnt stop raving about it. Everytime Alex and I tried to get tickets it was too expensive and/or sold out. Yana got the first available ticket ....in May!! It is worth the wait anyway. It was a perfectly insightful and considerate gift ... one of the reason's I love Yana...
