Hey hosers.

Nothing much from me right now. Just sorta in recovery mode from a looney bin week.

So. Hey.

Edit: And clearly in need of more recovery because I had orginally posted this in Pix's Dog's Life thread.

Mary Lou and Gary watched Black Panther. We both enjoyed the movie. There were a couple of parts which seemed too over the top even for a comic book ... but all-in-all, if you enjoy Marvel movies, Black Panther will not disappoint.

Have not seen it yet but hope to this weekend. I love the Marvel movies - the most recent Thor/Hulk movie was so entertaining! I liked some of the DC movies but have been disappointed in those more often than not lately.

I was trying to get to Jumanji before BP but I missed it and now it's On Demand already! to buy for $19.99, not available for rent yet. But still $20 for a movie for 2 with your own snacks and a comfy couch is not bad.

... and you can pause the movie for bathroom runs. Gary is really enjoying the Movie Pass ... works easily and with a few more movies we'll be in the black. Mary Lou always sneaks food or water into the theater. Recently we purchased some smallish S'Well bottles so now she sneaks in stuff like lemonade, or carbonated water or even vino.

What is "the Movie Pass"? I go to the movies quite a bit...

The precipitation has increased from a misty sprinkle to bonafide drops. So ... no walk for the pooch. She isn't happy about this and may registar a formal complaint with the shop steward.

Yesterday, back to the dog class, there were two yappy little dogs. The Yorkie got kicked out, but the owner of the other little yappy dog was shovelling a constant and seemingly endless supply of treats into the little guy in order to keep him quiet and in class. Mary Lou found it all amusing.

Gary posted this a while ago. For $90 a year per pass, you get one free movie a day. After nine movies you're in the black. One movie a month and you're in the black. We purchased our passes through Costco, so if Movie Pass goes under, we get reimbursed per Costco. You also get free streaming of movies Gary has never heard.

Took my brothers from church out for breakfast this morning . Shooting my FM today with the 100mm f/2.8 E and some TriX. Been shooting with 55 and 35 mostly, as of late. What a challenge using the 100, my feet are not cooperating with my brain.

 

[Gary A.]

Do you have a preference of film camera?

 

[vintagesnaps]

Dim Sum Saturday, can you say that three times fast? or does it turn into sum dum Saturday? Yeah, I'm tired today! Errands later and kind of cold out, but the sun is shining.

Cities are nuts. Work was in the flight path but not close enough to the airport for planes to be real low yet. Although one had something fall off into someone's back yard. I didn't have the worst of drives since I was out on the fringe (and not quite the lunatic fringe although I sometimes wondered). I wasn't in the middle of the worst of it, but sometimes traffic's either at a crawl or everyone's driving like maniacs. At least during the day doing home visits there wasn't a lot of traffic and I usually didn't have to go back out onto the interstate.

DON'T FORGET:
Change those smoke/carbon monoxide detector batteries this weekend.

The 'burbs aren't much better.

Dim Sum was delish and plentiful. A very large hall type of setting with a zillion little carts weaving between the tables. Monterey Park has a large Asian population and they were all at Ocean Star restaurant. Gary felt as if he was back in Hong Kong.

Cold Pizza for lunch. Not usually a formal dinner on Saturday. And that's all I got.
Film camera Canon EOS650. But film is all but dead.

Film is still hanging in there. It will last a while yet.

I just bought a GX680 II for a trip coming up. I'll be shooting mainly Ektar with some Velvia in there. We will see what cones of this. Should be a fun toy in the meantime.

My favorite lab is closing down. :-( Most of their business was instant cameras, and the market for that is DEAD.

If I recall Michael ... you cashed a check I sent you a long time ago and I have yet to received my Nikon F pentaprism in return. Shouldn't you be taking care of your debts before buying more stuff?

I guess it is time for you to disappear again.
