Good-Bye Badly-Faded Fuschia Hair...

[badstar]

I dyed it last night. Dark gold-toned brown, perhaps just a bit more of a chocolate-tone than my natural color, but about as dark. Wasn't intending to go quite so dark, but it was what was available at the time and I didn't want to go elsewhere, so I went for it.

I finally got a corkscrew yesterday...I've gotta say, I like artificial cork a lot better than the real stuff. Artificial cork crumbles. Though...it's a lot easier to to put back in the bottle than the fake stuff.

and in other news, I pulled my camera out today, was going to try and use it, got new batteries and all...I tried three rolls...the first two, I snapped one shot each before the automatic rewind activated, the third roll it actually snapped the picture itself and then rewound.

I'm really hoping there was just something weird about the film because it was old. If my camera is broken, I'm going to be really upset.

It didn't do anything weird with the partially-used roll that was in the camera that I shot off when I loaded new batteries...hmmm....I have some other film that I'll have to try, it's all really old, so I'm not worried about the film itself. But I love that camera, and it's not made anymore. *Sigh*

Oh, and alternatively, various people are selling Pentax ZX-M cameras for less than $100 on eBay. So that might be an alternative option as well.

thanks...I'm soooo suspicious of buying thingfs like cameras on ebay, but I'll keep it in mind if nothing else works out.

Oh, I don't blame you at all. I'm always suspicious of electronic anything off eBay. Just too much you don't know that might go wrong, even just in shipping. However, it'd be worth trying if repairs would cost you hundreds. Then at any rate you'd have your initial one as a spare for parts if something else were to happen.

Besides, in some cases you can find auctions with the camera + accessories. If they're all clean and good condition, it could be a great buy.
