Oh, I forgot: my camcorder is kaputt

Yeah, so much for the fabulousness of digital technology. My Canon Optura 10--a pretty nice camera--which I barely used, and haven't touched in almost a year, seems to be on the fritz. Just white stripes when I turn the camera portion on--when it's not a blank black screen. Ah, experimental video/film making--another latent interest of mine that I can't indulge in because the goddamn tools I need keep fucking up. Life may yet become more interesting and fun and creatively fulfilling, but not today.
