About meGood news, bad news
The bad news first: During lunch today I walked over to Ginza and left the camera at the Canon service center. “Dropped camera? Probable water damage? You can just put that warranty card right away, sir, we won’t be needing it.” They’ll get in touch with a repair estimate one of these days. Wonder if it’ll be worth fixing, or if I should just go straight back to Yodobashi and get another one . . . grr. Should have spent the ¥18,000 on that waterproof case, too.
I might get one of those things anyway, come to think of it . . . Good down to 40 meters, so the camera could come along on snorkeling (and scuba, if I ever dig up my open water license and take a refresher course) trips. And ski adventures. And rainy days.
The good news: I got word that my book is getting reviewed in a journal that will get it some wanted attention. [I'm editing out some information here to avoid causing problems for the people involved with the not-yet-published review.] Could mean a spike in sales. Not that this would get me any money, since I got paid the translation fee all up-front, but it would be a chance to clear the first print run out and make room for a paperback reprint in which all the typos have been fixed. At least that’s what I’m hoping.
