had this whole rant planned out. well my point today is basically this: things should be compatible with each other...like cameras and lenses made by diff companies and all computers and software and versions of software...i mean incompatibility forces you to adapt and move on to the next version which is only minimally different from the last one or give up and just stop using cameras and computers and everything. its like a spoon not being compatible with your mouth. grr. end of rant.

reading: persuasion
typical austen. loving it. hadnt realised that i hadnt read it as yet. am completely engrossed. her characters are so amazingly real and act how you expect them to act cause u know people like them. but this isnt predictability gone wrong. it is predictability at its best. it's sublime. and i use that word sparingly.
