Slept in. Brunch at home with Patrick: blueberry pancakes. Made live Folsom Street Fair photos. Prepared to send my camera in to Canon for service. Just in case it cannot be fixed, I browsed the current cameras on Canon's website and realized with surprise that there are only 2 cameras in the lineup with the fold-out variable-angle screen—the PowerShot S5 IS ($350 street) and the Powershot SX10 IS ($380 street). Canon calls this feature the "vari-angle lcd monitor." But both the S5 IS and SX10 IS have fewer pixels and smaller zoom than my A650 IS. I might have to start looking for a non-Canon camera next. Mid-afternoon meal: chicken boob sandwich. Watched Heroes Season 1 episode 22 on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Dinner at home with Patrick: pig chops with honey mustard and parsley, steamed green beans, dinner roll, Smart Balance Light.
