Practice Prep

There will be a band practice tonight. Oh, happy day!

Homework for this week was to learn a song. It is arguably the worst song every written. “I Was Made for Loving You” by Kiss.

Oh my, what pandora’s box of hellness are we opening?

Antique Store Wrap Up

I mentioned that we went to an antique store yesterday. I was hoping to maybe find some old camera gear. I saw a grand total of four cameras. One was digital so it doesn’t count. One was a Ricoh film camera that looked like it was probably from the 1990’s. I didn’t know anything about it so I passed. There were two really old cameras. The Kodak Autographic Jr that I posted yesterday. I was really interested in that one but I wanted to dig into it a bit first. That was a good move. They don’t make the film it uses anymore. Bummer. You can get adapters that let you use 120 film but that is a smidge above my interest level at this point. The fourth camera was a Kodak Brownie from the 1950’s that was interesting too, but looking into that told me what I was already pretty sure of. They don’t make the film that camera uses either. Oh well. Maybe next time.

There was this though…

That would look fantastic in our living room, don’t you think?

Now What?

It finally happened today. After over a year’s worth of effort the Great X-Files Rewatch Adventure finally came to an end.

I finished season 11. 11 seasons and two movies and the rewatch is complete.

Now what?

Part of me wants to go back to Star Trek. Jen and I started watching Voyager. I already rewatched Deep Space Nine. the original series and The Next Generation have both been rewatched numerous times in the past. Do I want to rewatch one of those again? Maybe. I don’t know. Enterprise? I don’t know. I was really not liking that show in the last year or so. Maybe I should give it another try?

Maybe I’ll poke around Netflix looking for some science fiction and if I don’t find anything that jumps out at me I’ll give Enterprise another look.

I’ll let you know.

Colors

We don’t go to Lawrence, MA often. It has a reputation for being a rough place and we tend to just not go there. We spent an hour or so in town today though and Jen spotted this really groovy little place. I have no idea what it is or what it means but I like it.

Antiques

We went to an antique store in Lawrence, MA today. I was looking for camera gear and not expecting to find anything.

I was right that there wasn’t much to see, but I did see one that has me super intrigued.

$79 seems way too much for this, but I am going to spend some time on the YouTube doing some research and maybe I might go back again. Folding cameras from pre-war are sort of what I was thinking of for my first step into the medium format world.

We’ll see.

What is Wrong with Me: Follow Up

Following up on the previous post. I looked out the window to make sure the bird feeders survived the night (as you do) and saw a squirrel had made it past the anti-squirrel baffle and was chowing down.

Fuck it. I don’t want to play that anymore either. I give up.

We’re going to see Harry for a few minutes today. If it weren’t for that, I think I would be crashing into a major depression right now.

Fuck it all, I’m going fishing.*

*Not literally. That would take effort and clearly that is beyond me right now.

What is Wrong with Me?

Motivation… I just can’t…

What is wrong with me?

I keep coming up with ideas for creative things to do and I keep failing to do them. I can’t even get myself to start them, never mind finish them. What the hell, Robert?

Did I get up early and go to the ocean to take pictures? No, of course not. Don’t be fucking ridiculous. I slept three hours past the alarm. Of course I did.

DoI play the guitar every day? Do I play the guitar once a week? Don’t be stupid.

Did I plant peanuts? Did I make sugar free ice cream? Am I going to do either? Don’t be stupid, of course not.

Literally the only thing I can bring myself to do as far as projects are concerned is watch the fucking television. I’d say I was going to melt my brain but clearly it’s already been completely liquified.
