On my mind, in no particular order …

Is it bad that I really want to buy a low-cost 2 or 3 megapixel digital camera to carry around at all times? I’ve lost count how many times I saw something photo-worthy but didn’t have my camera on me. There’s no way I’m keeping a $1200 camera in my purse. I want something under $200 that takes compact flash cards, so I’ve been eyeing the Canon Powershot A300. I really don’t need another camera, though.

In movie news, based on the trailer we saw today, Scary Movie 3 looks pretty damn funny. I don’t recommend the recent Tomb Raider movie, though. The first one wasn’t fabulous, but it was decent. Plus it had a kickass soundtrack. With this one, I found myself hoping it was almost over because neither the music, nor the “action” scenes were enough to keep me interested. In fact, I enjoyed watching Clueless more on dvd when I got home, and that didn’t cost me $12 in tickets.

Joe came up with a great business idea – go to Target, buy a bunch of movie candy, and sell it outside the theater door for $2 a box. It’s still cheaper than what the theatre charges, and you’re making a nice profit since Target charges $1. They also are selling a pack of four boxes of candy for $2.79 which is the price of 1 box at the theater.

I’m reading this book called I Don’t Know How She Does It by Allison Pearson and it’s really good. Funny too. Reminds me a lot of Bridget Jones’ Diary as the main character is British and writes in a similar format as Bridget Jones did, even though it is not a diary. I grabbed it off the library shelf without even skimming the back because I was tired of browsing but wanted something. What a lucky find. In fact, I think I shall go curl up on the couch with it until bedtime.

Hope your weekend was as nice as mine.
