I'm a sucker for novelty items.  The quirkier the better.  Remember <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/08/18/day-324-my-inner-10-year-old-boy-came-out-to-play/" target="_blank"><strong>this</strong></a>?

&nbsp;

Yes, I am very much in touch with my inner child and proud of it!  :-)

&nbsp;

Urban Outfitter's gift section is a treasure trove of goofiness.   I found the sound machine there (mentioned in "this" above), and I also found The Fortune Camera.

I took it upon myself to forecast 2013 for family and friends/work colleagues with The Fortune Camera.  Everyone was game.  (Or at least they pretended to be.)

&nbsp;

<strong>Who doesn't enjoy a snapshot (literally and figuratively!) of their future?</strong>

&nbsp;

I was VERY EXCITED about this Fortune Camera.  I'm one of those people who hangs selected fortune cookie fortunes on her fridge and at her desk.

&nbsp;

In fact, I was SO THRILLED with the idea of this camera that I spent 12 buckaroos on the camera itself and then another 16 buckaroos on old-fashioned film development accompanied by a disk for easy uploading of these foto fortunes to the blog.

&nbsp;

Humbug. You'll see for yourself in a sec.

&nbsp;

Without further adieu, let's get to our 2013 predictions!

Urban Outfitters, since I am a loyal novelty gift buyer at your store, do you think I could get a replacement giftie for this dud of a fortune camera?  Nordies would do it.  :-)
