Reynolds doing the only thing Reynolds knows how to do is fine, but man I hated that kid.
Paper nerds: I would like to try lever arch binders but I only see them in A4. Is there such a thing as lever arch in US Letter size? Also, do you find them better/easier than 3-ring binders?
I love Nic Cage, and was worried that making the Nic Cagiest of Nic Cage movie was a bad idea, so I was happy to see this today. I can’t wait!
I was hoping I could use a brighter safelight in the darkroom, so I bought a random red light bulb from Amazon. I ran a 5-minute test for light-tightness. As you can see, it failed miserably 😆. The entire sheet should be white.
I’ve been having a ball printing from some old negatives. I made these last night (from 2003).
Sometimes I abruptly change my Emacs theme to trick myself into thinking I’m trying a new app
Still frustrated by current point-and-shoot film camera prices. Here’s my B&H Order for a Stylus Epic in 2004.
I suddenly don’t feel like “Blogging”. There are things I’d like to write about but can’t bring myself to sit here and put more than a sentence or two together. So, I don’t. I’m fine with just the wiki and “micro” blogging for the moment.
I started today by revamping my Org mode config so now I have every possible tweak to my tasks and projects and journals and notes. I then spent this afternoon writing detailed notes and tasks in my notebook because I need both I guess?
Interesting how my initial reaction after developing film is often “Darn, it’s grainy and not sharp!” but then a week later I love it. With digital, anything that’s not perfectly sharp and clean is junk and stays junk.
Wings of Desire, 1987 - ★★★★½

Well that was beautiful.
Gave up 30 minutes into “Spider Man: No Way Home” and watched Wim Wenders' “Wings of Desire” instead. Glad I did. The special effects and story were much more believable and interesting.
She doesn’t like the popping or beeping sounds that the flashes make so she’s “hiding”.
Forgive me, I’ve misplaced my slogan mug.
I’m loving “Prioritize Pleasure” by Rebecca Taylor.
Made a couple more fiber-based prints in the darkroom. It’s fun digging through old negatives and printing some favorites.
I’d made a huge mistake.
New posts will be via baty.net or other external feeds for a while.

I don't have a better ass joke, sorry.
