I thought Obama pledged to provide a more socialized, single-payer system in the US. Did he bottle it?

the GOP and their minions bottled it. from them there was tremendous push-back. what we have is the best our dysfunctional political system can do.

I currently have a minor obsession with modernized Shakespeare film adaptations, and I just ordered:

Macbeth (2006) w/ Sam Worthington & Lachy Hulme (DVD)
Hamlet (2009) w/ David Tennant & Patrick Stewart (Blu-ray)
Macbeth (2010) w/ Patrick Stewart & nobody else I've ever heard of (DVD)

Also ordered a double-feature DVD with a couple of Vincent Price movies, as if I don't already have enough of them in my collection:

Theatre of Blood (1973)
From a Whisper to a Scream (1987)

All this because I needed a new pair of dishwashing gloves, which are only $10. You start adding stuff to the cart to get free shipping and one thing leads to another. Mah.

A Vivitar F128 digital camera.

Why the hell didn't I read a few online reviews beforehand?

Battery charge too low to operate the flash mechanism after just four or five uses,

Not a "defect" as such apparently, just normal according to the reviews.

The batteries are actually three "long-life" alkaline ones as well!

I don't get much more than that with my Fuji finepix [granted it's prehistoric 1999 model].

Well, it's my first foray into digital photography.

pathemata mathemata, as the Ancient Greeks said.

"We live and learn". Apparently. :)

I bought some cheese to eat with the bread I'd bought earlier. The bread wasn't for me but for ducks at Bitter Lake. A woman with two loose dogs arrived and told me to stop feeding the ducks because they poop too much and it attracts rats.

I think feeding birds is a nice thing and relaxing.
