James, the salesperson, was very tolerant:
me: Can you help me find a camera?
James: Well, that is my job, what are you looking for?
me: Well... I need a small camera that... well... takes pictures.
James: Anything else?
me: Well, I tend to drop things, so it would be good if it was somewhat tough, and er... small.
James: How about these two, they have similar qualities including: *insert a few technical sounding things I didn't understand here*
me: Those sound good. Which one is better?
James: I'm partial to the Canon myself
me: What are the chances of it being waterproof?
James: Um... not very good.
me: Oh, well, how about the other one?
James: Also not very good.
me: That's okay, thought I'd ask.
James was very nice, considering my completely inadequate knowledge of anything to do with cameras. It turns out he studied at Cambridge a few years ago and had a really wonderful time. He was also a Classical Studies major at the U of A and especially enjoyed Latin and Greek.
*Note to self: Classical Studies degree = Job @ BestBuy
So....I didn't purchase a camera. Although I fully intend to go back tomorrow and actually make up my mind.

I also got to go to dinner with my brother tonight. I have to resist the urge to call him my little brother, because he's actually a good bit taller than me now. We were going to get Mexican, but the football game ended just in time to make traffic impossible, so we pulled in and grabbed Pho instead. Sawyer insisted on paying, to the point that he stole me credit card when I tried to anyways (have I mentioned that he's bigger than me now? It makes it significantly harder to do things like pay for dinner). So anyways. He's still the coolest ever, I got pretty lucky!
He gets all his good qualities from me =)
(She doesn't know she's too big to be a lap dog)
