It's here!!!

Box arrives in the mail. I fumble for a knife to open it with, finally find one. My Mom is watching as I open the box, and the spines of various anime titles peek out next to the Holy Golden Box. Quickly, I shoved them under the camera box. Opening the camera up, I begin to fiddle with it.

It's so small! I'd forgotten how small manuals are. But... but... but I can't get the shutter to click! Damn! I must be missing something, yet all the obvious things I try don't produce results. And it's a freakin manual, it's not like it has more than a half dozen buttons to begin with! So I wait around online, and finally B gets home, and explains I have to slightly cock the advance lever to get it to shoot. D'oh!

Clickity-clackity! Weeeeee!!!!

I get so exicited. I start typing "Mmmmm FM10" just like I type "Mmmmm Blue" in so many convos with B. And it occurs to me for just a second to name the camera "Blue". Then I realize that that is just one step too Otaku, even for me.
