I Need a Digital Camera
I am one of those people that still prefers a camera with film. In fact, I have a Minolta from circa 1985 and it is the best camera ever. Well, only if you are going to take black and white pictures, without a flash. Some mirror has slipped inside the camera and it is going to cost me an arm and two legs to get it fixed. I keep googling "how to" sites in order to fix it myself, but I haven't had the guts to give it a shot yet. The other problem with a camera that uses film is, buying the film! A young whipper snapper that was working in the store a couple of weeks ago said "yeah, we don't keep a lot of film. NO ONE uses it anymore." Thanks buddy, I do.
However, I realized this weekend, I must invest in a digital camera. I went to see PAULA DEEN, and all I had was my camera phone. Therefore this is what you get:
This is Paula with Michael (her husband for all of those reading this that are not fans) and a local celebrity chef. Paula is taking a swig of her "diet drink" and watching them cook. She didn't cook anything. Well, she did rub the meat a little bit, she loves a good piece of meat and muscle. (Also, for all of those non-fans. You should read her memoir.) Anyway, Paula was soo funny.
She wanted to be funnier but some of these folks in the audience weren't taking the bait. There was a lot of hairspray in that room. I felt like I was at a retired beauty queen convention - and a bunch of conservative beauty queens at that. If you read Paula's book, actually, WHEN you read Paula's book - you will discover that she has an edgy sense of humor, kind of like my own. And her husband Michael is freaking hilarious.
Beauty queens and camera aside - I haven't laughed that hard for that long a period of time, since I don't know when. My friend and I were both doubled over laughing. One of her jokes was a little raunchy and I was trying to hold it in and I couldn't. The little old ladies around me didn't even get it, or at least they didn't act like they did. If you ever get the chance to go see her - do it. I promise you will love it, even if you know nothing about her. She is a hoot and it was a great day!
