mother... so tonight i go to test out my little photo vault thing... seems that some of the little prongs that the holes from the compactflash card go into are really flimsy. and longer than the others? so they bend immediately. collapse. just, like, four of them - but still. it makes a difference; it won't read the card.

also, because the one bends to the side, i was, like, wtf, and i am trying to get the card to go on the prongs. this scratches a couple of the holes on the compactflash. this makes the card unreadable in my camera, so now my pics are lost.. of gretchey, of all the christmas stuff i took pics of this weekend in home depot (ha!), and worst of all, of the cute tortoises walking around the house this weekend in a little single-file line. it was the cutest thing ever. now the pics are gone!

also, my $160 photo vault doesn't work and costa rica is on saturday and that was the whole point of buying it. we'll see what b&h does for me tomorrow, but i hope they're decent...

oh, ALSO now i have to buy a new 2G memory card! shite!  ¶ 10:51 PM
