I lost the little watch battery from my Canon digital camera… the one that powers the camera to keep the date and time settings. Not only did I lose the battery (which is easy to replace), I lost the little drawer-thingie that holds the battery in the camera.

I have a feeling that it’s somewhere on or around my desk — or it was; I looked for it but either I’m wrong or one of the cats took it off somewhere. The last time I used the camera outside of the house was last Thursday when I went to the museum with Stacy, Mary, and Steve, and the battery was in there (I didn’t have to keep setting the time). I came home, opened the battery/memory card door to get the memory card out, and sometime after that is when I lost the part.

I need to go out and buy a new battery and see if it’ll work in there without the holder. I can always just tape it so it doesn’t fall out, but I don’t know if it’ll hit all the contacts and stay in place without the holder.

I emailed Canon support anyway to see if there’s a way to get a replacement part. I haven’t heard back yet.

I submitted the above image to JPG Magazine for an upcoming issue, under the theme “Elegance.” If you have a moment, click the photo to go vote so it gets in the magazine.

Justin had received tickets to Wicked for his birthday, and yesterday was the day. We decided to make a day of it, so Justin took the day off.

“Day” count in the previous sentence: five.

We started with breakfast at Avalon (for those not in the area, it’s a local 24-hour pancake place). I ordered the “Lite Appetite,” which consisted of three eggs (over medium), four slices of bacon, and three huge pancakes. Not so lite — I only ate the eggs and a pancake.

Then we headed to the Museum of Science and Industry … the Body Worlds 2 exhibit opened up last week and we wanted to check it out. We saw Body Worlds the first time it came through Chicago and were pretty impressed.

I snuck a few photos… shhh.

The museum closed at 4pm, so we got in the car and headed to the Theatre District to scope out the area. Traffic was unbelievably good, so when we got there had some time to kill. We walked around for a bit, and then grabbed some food at Au Bon Pain. We hung around there for a while, then headed to the theatre.

All I can say is that the play was FANTASTIC.

I never know how to end these posts without being abrupt, but I’m tired of writing. I have a post brewing about my ferret Scooby and the shit I’ve been dealing with in regards to him the past few weeks, but again… tired of typing.

We’re going to the Super Bowl, baby!

So which style best suits me?
