Still at home
15 November 2006 11:35Had fever again last night, and sneezing like... like, well, someone that sneezes a lot. (Hmpf, this was supposed to come out wittier.) I wish I could get rid of that morning sore throat thing, where I can't really make a peep for the first hour or two after getting up as my throat's too sore. At least it disappears for the rest of the day.
Just started with work when I got a call from the bank (this is getting obnoxious), this time from my personal account manager, offering individual investment consultation. I don't want individual (or any other sort of) investment consultation... I don't want to invest into anything. Why do bank people think that as soon as you start earning a bit more than the average person, you immediately want to give all that money to them? I'd rather invest in other things, such as DVDs. Or lenses.
Mmm... lenses... after taking a few pics yesterday at home with the 50mm f/1.7 at home (fine lens, that!), I'm starting to desire the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 prime too that Photopoint is now offering... not just because it's even brighter (the depth of field makes it difficult to use anything below f/2.2-2.5 anyway) but because 50mm is a bit too impractical at home. And then there's still the Sigma 17-70mm zoom that is better range and brighter than the kit zoom... and then I'd still want a (cheapish) bigger zoom with more reach anyway, say a 70-300mm or something like that. Grrr. Have I mentioned I hate DSLRs?
