I’ve been bouncing back and forth between the Red Sox and game five of the Stanley Cup finals.
The Sox are up in the eighth and the Lightning are up in the second intermission.
The Sox are amazingly only half a game out of second place in the AL East. The Lightning are down three games to one and are facing elimination.
Also, the supreme court fucked over all american females today.
I am so mad at my country right now. I can’t handle it. I am absolutely furious.
And right on queue, Bellana’s plant clipping is growing a new branch. Excellent.
I changed the lens and I think it works! The light meter is not a big fan of this lens in this room. I expect the two pics I just took will be underexposed and blurry.
I feel like I am becoming a little obsessed with Dad’s camera.
Dad’s camera has a built in light meter. It runs on a little watch battery. The battery hasn’t been changed since the 80’s (if ever). Luckily I had a pack of the correct batteries (thanks to the pocket watch reclamation project from last year) and it turns out the meter works!
I took a couple of pictures, despite my microscopic knowledge of full manual camera operation. I’d use one of those pics for my photo a day thing but… you know… film. No instant gratification here.
The film in the camera has been sitting there since the 80’s. I don’t know anything about expired film besides the fact that it does expire. When the roll runs out, will anything be developable? Will anything work? Who knows. Also, there were six or seven shots taken before I got involved. I’m a little afraid to find out what they were. I haven’t a clue.
I think I’m going to try to put the other lens on next. Sweet!

Yesterday, while eating lunch, I bit my lip. It swelled up like you wouldn’t believe. It hurt like a bastard. It took all night for most of the swelling to go down. It was still sore this morning.
Wouldn’t you know it, I bit my lip again during lunch today. It was exactly the same spot. All the swelling is back. All the pain is back. Two pints of blood are gone. I’m feeling really lucky that I brought some paper towels with me today because I needed them to mop up the gore.
Stop doing that, asshole.
Remember two posts back when I asked if anyone had a user manual for my father’s old camera?
Pentax K1000. Now all I need to do is find someplace that develops film. Weeeeeee!
ADDENDUM: That manual is actually a service manual. The owner manual lives here.
In the interest of home security…
Anyone happen to have a sharpening stone? What about batting gloves in size Godzilla.
This still has film in it. I think it’s from the mid 80’s.
Anyone happen to have an owners manual?
