Dude. Dude! Dude. This is the first picture my laptop's Photobooth has taken in nearly TWO YEARS, when the video feature on it suddenly decided it was sick of my constant mugging and quit working. About 8 months ago, when the screen casing started to detach from the screen itself, I finally took it to the Apple spaceship/store. After asking me repeatedly how it got in this state ("One day it wasn't like this and the next or maybe a few days after it was"), they told me the camera was irreparable and that I would have to purchase a whole new screen if I wanted it to work again. To which I basically said, "Fuck that" and just kept using it in its janky state. There were some attempts at snapping it all back in place but the crack would always yawn back open, re-exposing its wires and guts and whatever else is going on in there. Today, before it was switched on for one of the first times in about two and a half months, I smushed it all back together as best I could, slapped on a few strips of masking tape, and voila! A working video camera. Dudes at the Apple store clearly had no idea what they were doing. I'm skeptical about how long this will work, but at least it didn't cost $1000. And I've already adjusted pretty well to life without the camera.
Still, I'm psyched.
Having a computer in the studio r00lz. Now I can look for images and read articles and listen to chunes.
