I've got proof!!

My super-cool looking camera is no longer usable. This is very sad news for me, as my camera (a Sony Cybershot U-60), does not look like a camera at all, and it is a great conversation piece. Now, I am having to learn how to use the fancy camera Mr. M. got me for Christmas. He tried to sell it after I told him that all those buttons made me scared to use it, but he kept it, and he got a fancy camera for himself. So we are a nerdy family with cameras permanently attached to our eyes. Well, today I was walking around the neighborhood, practicing with my new/old fancy camera. I took a picture of some pumpkin plants in someone's front yard. (I'll post that picture on Flickr, but the rule is that if you look at it, you have to leave a comment on this post.) Anyway, I hadn't been home more than 5 minutes before the neighborhood gossip called to ask me why I was snooping around taking pictures. I tried saying that I just thought the plants were pretty, but I think she is convinced that I am in cahoots with the neighborhood HOA, and that I am taking the photographical evidence of the offending plants on behalf of the HOA board member who had just recently yelled at the owner of the plants, insisting that she remove them.

We have one camera between the two of us and often don't even think to take it along, so I guess we are your opposites

I cannot think of a better set of circumstances under which I can now say,

Thou Doth Protest Too Much.

You claim not to be in cahoots with the HOA on FB (not sure if I was supposed to divulge your FB status here or not. You know I always err on the side of dorkiness), and now you are doing the same here.

Thou Dost Protest Too Much.

Just so you know, Mr. Cho, the word "protest" actually means, archaically, "to proclaim or affirm." Thus, the Protestant Reformation was more of an affirmation of the Bible, rather than a protest against the Roman church.

David Cho dijo...

You proclaim and affirm TOO MUCH.

Is there an archaic meaning of "too much" that I am unaware of?

You are speaking Greek to me, Señor Cho.

I'm Sensei Cho to you.

What a fun life you have, Jen! :)

Yes, I do have fun. Who wouldn't with the great cast of characters God's written into the play of my life?
