In the war against the machines again!

9.33 p.m.
              I tried to take a photie yesterday and this wee LOW BATTERY message came up. Eventually, this message ends up with the camera saying GOODBYE, and switching off. When I was down at the Samye Ling, I got this message. You can take a quick snap sometimes at the beginning of this before it switches of, and that's why I had only a few photies of down there. So when I got back, I put in another three AAA batteries. I had noticed that I was doing this quite a lot, but trying to ignore it. It costs about a pound a battery, or four for £3.49.
              Since I got back from the Samye, I've posted twelve photies here. Twelve. That's over twenty five pence a photie!! And the bloody thing doesn't even take a decent photie of a flower! There's nothing much else to take photies of if you're a Johnny Appleseed kind of an allotmenteer guy except blinking flowers.
              I've got a mobile phone photie taker, of course, but this one doesn't have a cable to the computery thing. It does have a Bluetooth thing. If someone shows me how to work that, I'll still put photies on this blog, but otherwise, I'm afraid, that's it. 
              Why are all these gadgets so time consuming and such total crap?!
               Albert tried to send Brian Wilson a photie of a woman having sex with an elephant, but Brian Wilson is in China just now and before it got to him, the Chinese censors had deleted it. The Chinese probably don't allow their twelve year olds to spend hours every day accessing porn. Communist/Capitalist swine that they are!

You need to get a set of rechargeable batteries and use those instead. That will be cheaper in the long run and more responsible to the planet.

Can't help you with the Bluetooth. My phone isn't that smart. I don't like wireless things.

Marie! The Domestic Bliss got me rechargeable batteries once, but they lasted hardly any time at all. Mind you, the ones I'm using .... Hotboy

I say! The use of rechargeable batteries involves deferred gratification, the province of the bourgeoisie.
