:weeps: Oh, my beloved camera. Why? WHY? Didn’t I lovingly put you in a spiffy little camera bag when I wasn’t using you? Didn’t I make sure the little heathens who live here kept their grimy paws off you? Didn’t I sing your praises to all and sundry? DIDN’T I?!? So, how could you just let your LCD screen die on me? How. Could. You?? :weeps more:

Now that that’s out of my system, I feel better. Also? I think I’m going to stick with my original plan to get a Canon PowerShot when I get around to going and getting a new camera. And let me just say — bitch all you want about WalMart, but their return policy is fabulous in times like this.

That said, will I buy the Canon from there? Newp. We’ll be going to Best Buy. I know it’s stupid and ridiculous, but my general feeling about electronics purchased from WalMart is that they’re lower quality, even when it’s the exact same thing being sold in other stores. I know that’s dumb — I mean, what? The manufacturers have a WalMart assembly line and an “everyone else” assembly line? Come on, Steph. Yet…I secretly do believe exactly that.
