In which I bought an instant camera I don’t need but have coveted for years! It’s here! Good job hitting that 8PM delivery time, USPS! (I don’t know why you offer 8PM delivery, but you do, so, well done.) I already own instant cameras, of course, classic Polaroids of various models, but peel-apart film no […]
In which I whine like a little bitch. I decided I wanted a thing. A thing I don’t need, but it’s so cute and would be so fun. And there’s a sort of sense of nostalgia, as well. See, way back in the day, when I lived in Iowa, I had a Gameboy Advance and […]
In which there’s good news. We flew to DC last Thursday so I could see Amma. We had a very short layover in Milwaukee, then got to Reagan, walked to the hotel shuttle stand, and waited for the bus. Got to the hotel, went out to eat on a cute little street a few blocks […]
In which I’ve quit smoking! I started smoking at 16. I’m 47 now. That’s 31 years. I was down to smoking less than a pack a day, usually less than half a pack, but my lungs felt dry and tight. I was having difficulty breathing. Every morning, I decided not to smoke. Every evening I […]
In which my favorite camera is now basically useless. I haven’t been shooting film much since I moved out here, but no worries: take the camera out of the box, put in some fresh film, maybe a battery, and go shoot. Your cameras are already antiques; they won’t mind if you let them rest for […]
In which there’s a review, sort of. Not really. Whatever. I more or less demanded this for Christmas, because they had them marked down to $35 and you know that’s a shitload of hardware for $35. I thought we’d put Android on it or something, if it turned out nobody was using it. Well, I […]
In which it’s a lazy Sunday. It’s so shitty outside there’s a heat warning on! Stay inside, stay hydrated, check on your neighbors, that sort of thing! Temperature in the mid-90’s with a heat index of one hundred degrees! A big-ass line of storms tonight! Large hail possible! So I’m staying inside with the A/C […]
In which standing is apparently much healthier than sitting but it hurts like a bitch. While I really enjoy my new job as I’m doing it, my feet hurt, the pay’s lame, and the schedule is horrendous. Don’t even get me started on the noise and the horrible lighting and the concrete floors, or the […]
In which I review my newest device, even though it’s already obsolete. A couple of weeks ago I spontaneously bought a fourth Kindle — a tablet upgrade. My previous Kindle Fire worked fine and I didn’t need a new one. I knew they were probably going to announce a new model soon anyway. (Which they […]
In which I break a couple of things and the long-distance relationship is great. Yesterday, my 31 day-old phone died. Just up and goddamned failed, right in the middle of the afternoon. Six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have cared much about being phoneless for a day or three, but now my phone is my […]
