It is Sunday, 4.20.08 and it is raining slightly now, but it wasn’t earlier today.
I’m writing this because I’m trying to stay awaye for 2 more stops. I really don’t want to miss my stop tonight. I misspelled ‘awake’ but you’ll never know because I’ll probably edit it tomorrow before I post it online. Or, to be specific, sober-Monday-afternoon-Aaron will edit it. Ha! I’ve fooled him and his public honesty! I dare you to leave the spelling mistakes in. You Hack! You Hippie! This is hilarious to me now, but I wonder if it will be tomorrow?

It is Phriday (Saturday), 4.19.08 and it’s sunny with bits of cloud.
I got up early and had breakfast at Royal Host and spent the next 6 hours on the street photographing things with the Holga. I’ve been doing me research, and manually set my D40 to shoot at exactly the same f-stop, shutter and ISO as the Holga is on, just to get a sense of what the Holga sees (next time I’ll be taking a lighter lens with me, because jesus that Sigma 10-20 is a heavy bastard). I learned an insane amount of junk today about light, and how film is exposed and how the sun works just by shooting today. I feel like it was really worth it for just the amount of junk I’ve got in my brain. Continue reading ‘The Film Experience’
It is Friday, 4.18.08 and it’s pouring rain.
Phriday’s cancelled and I’m bummed. I’ll save it tomorrow because at least tomorrow I can take the Holga out along with me. I’m hoping to get through two rolls by noon, get back to the camera shop to send them for developing, and then get to class by 2:30. I’ve got a lot of ground to cover, and I’m generally pretty excited. I think I’ll also be taking photos of most of the spots with my D40 as to really get a sense of what the contrast is, figuring out the aperture, focal length, etc. of the Holga.

It’s Thursday 4.17.08 and it’s rainy and windy.
I’m missing school a lot today. As horrific as it is to read blog posts about how busy everyone is, and how exhausted they are, or how many hours of studying/paper writing they have, I’m missing a time when I was busy and scrambling for answers to questions. I miss procrastinating, doing everything BUT the things I should be doing. I guess my life is still like that, I’m just doing it for fun now instead of grades. I miss, most of all, being meticulous. I say that as though at one time I was meticulous… What I meant to say is that I wish throughout my academic career I was more meticulous. I promise academy god, I’ll not skip so many classes next time. Continue reading ‘Missed School’
It is 4.16.08 and it is overcast, slightly windy, and muggy.
Woke up to a call from Duffy. He has a herniated neck disc-thing and needed someone to chat with while he was getting out of the hospital. I’m usually the only one in the whole prefecture that works for this company awake before 9am, and I didn’t mind the chat. I hit Royal Host and read a good chunk of Oakeshott’s first paper in ‘On Human Conduct’. I haven’t read it before, last year I had only worked on the third paper. Continue reading ‘Holga, Maybe?’
It is Tuesday 4.15.08 and it’s humid still. Fucking humidity.
I woke up and waited for Jeannine to call me on skype, I haven’t spoken to her in nearly a week. I missed Royal Host breakfast for her, that’s how committed I am to her. Who needs marriage? We talked for an hour and a half and made me feel a lot better about a lot of things (as she usually does). I then emailed my sister, showered and shaved, loaded my ipod and I was gone for the day.

It’s Monday, 4.14.08 and it’s been cloudy and threatening rain all day.
Couldn’t put my futon out again, and so I just decided to leave it, and everything filthy all day. I am the sloth-man living in my own filthiness. I watched half of the first season of ‘Peep Show’ which I’ve been holding off on, finished the last season of The Wire, and I’m now about to watch the second episode of the last season of Battlestar. I ate a lot of rice, drank about 50 cups of tea and I’m one temple-run away from beating Zelda. Continue reading ‘Sloth-Man’
