Camera

So during my travels in Iceland, I somehow broke my camera. Of course me, being me, and the amount of work it actually required to get it fixed, (finding the receipt, mailing it in, etc) I didn't do it until the end of December just a few weeks before the one year warranty ran out. Luckily I did get it in on time and then to my surprise it actually got fixed! So props to Nikon and their ability to fix my camera. Sadly you can't take pictures of your camera unless you use another one and it seems like they don't even make mine anymore. Trust me though, its a cutie!

AIM 6.0

My older sister dislikes AIM. She finds it ugly and I guess it is. I use it because that's what all my friends use and so I'm forced to use it. (That's a little thing called network externalities).

I'm fairly happy with it until this morning when it told me I should download AIM 6.0 because it was better and had less bugs. So I did. Much to my shock, as most AIM downloads modify the design just a teeny bit, the new AIM looked completely different. It was grayish, had weird away messages things and even weirder IM boxes. So I took it away and stuck with my old version. I'll keep the bugs thank you very much!

Plus I've discovered this great new site meebo.com that lets you sign onto AIM from any computer. It's way cuter I must admit then both AIM Express and normal AIM and it has this amazing feature that lets you sign onto 5 different messaging networks at once, such as MSN and Yahoo! It just made my day when I found out about it.

Back With A Vengeance

So I know that I haven't blogged since August and I really don't have an excuse other than I didn't have anything exciting to write about. So I've decided to take the word "travels" (as in Buttercup's) and use it in a more figurative way. Travels in its new sense, will not be limited to actually traveling through physical space, but traveling through the endless amount of info, things and life experiences around me. So my blog could now be called "Buttercup Explores Life and Random Things Around Her" but will remain "Buttercup's Travels."

Don't worry though, come March 8, 2007, I'm off to Hong Kong!
