In which I do some stuff… but don’t really get much accomplished!

Saturday I lounged around, made soup, then in the afternoon went to get film developed and have my nails done. Because I’m white trash like dat.

The developer at Rite-aid was broken and my nail shop was closed for the weekend, so I ended up getting the film developed at Albertsons and having cocktails at The Blue while I waited.

From the 1941 Argus C3 came these nice shots:

I think I’d had the Argus’ telephoto lens installed off true by one tooth (the C3 is a rangefinder, not an SLR) and so nearly the entire roll was slightly out of focus. Sadly I’d already removed the lens by the time I got the film developed, so I couldn’t check to see how it really wants to be installed.

The Yashica Electro 35 GSN took great pictures, as always:

Saturday evening after the guys got of work, there was an impromptu BBQ on my brother’s patio:

Becca brought her kid, and Lannie dropped by too. We had a lot of fun. I at this amazingly delicious ‘burger’:

Sunday, SUMMER ARRIVED! It was hot! Teh BF and I ran errands all morning, stopping at about five places – I bought groceries at Andy’s Market and film at Walmart – and even shopping for luggage. Then we had tacos:

After which I napped all afternoon at his place.

I went home at seven, and accomplished nothing of note after that.

Today I got up, bathed, and walked to work. It’s very, very slow – just like it was last week, and the week before that. My hours have been cut from 40 to 38. My brother’s hours have been cut from 40 to 18.

Suddenly I’m worried about my lack of savings, and I fear that my trip to Dallas next month may be my last travel excursion for quite awhile.

    That grilled mushroom burger looks delish!

    I love the photo’s taken with with Argus because I like how the background is out of focus and the subject is in focus.

    It was delish! -m

    some amazing pix honey. i didn’t notice that about the argus til Rochelle pointed it out. is that an argus thing or is that something you did?

    curious: how many cameras do you have?

    as always, i love the way food figures prominently in all you do.

    It’s aperture. Wide aperture = narrow depth of field. I have seven working cameras and a few shelf queens. -m
