All purchases great and small

May 14, 2002

I went to Dairy Queen today to get one of their new Chocolate Xtreme Blizzards. It was OK. But they served it with vanilla ice cream. Why??? It’s supposed to be Chocolate Xtreme. Vanilla shouldn’t even be an option.

On a little larger front, I’ll be getting a new digital camera on Thursday as an end-of-the-year present for myself. I’m 99 percent sure it will be an Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom, a two-megapixel camera with an amazing 10x optical zoom. It’ll run me about 500 bucks. I’ve considered getting a three-megapixel one for the same price with a smaller zoom, but I think for what I want to do the C-700 will be better. Steve’s Digicams has some great sample photos. Of course, I probably did more research for this thing than anything else in the past. But if you don’t hear from me later this week, hopefully you’ll at least get to see some pictures.
