 Every day is a weird day.  Maybe since Nov '16, or maybe it always was?

Sitting here at the studio waiting to "frame" a print I spent waaaaay too much time printing today.  I wanted it to be perfect, and it really was an easy thing to do, but I tend to just drag everything out.  I have no discipline, or self-control, or both.  I take multiple breaks, and time just putters away.


But it turned out really great, so in the end, I have to feel satisfaction.

I got the AC cord for the video camera, to at least VIEW all my old DV tapes.  Started watching them, and it became tedious.  Haha, the 2000 tech and a "23 attention span.  A tiny sputtering screen and lag rewind and fast-forward.  

 Spent some time switching out tapes, getting a little bored with my mostly boring tapes, and then sure enough, the camera started to malfunction, and would no longer load tapes.  Ugh.  Of course.  So now the AC cord gets returned, and I do nothing.  Unless I bite the bullet and get them converted.  So glad I didn't spend the plan B money on all the computer cords, since the camera would have broken (probably) anyway.

The whole "project" reminds me of "videos" (((coded language))).  The excitement and anticipation, going to the store, watching them, and immediately wanting to ride myself of them, and the memory of even having them.  It was always so cleansing dropping them back off, as if the whole enterprise never occurred.  Well, this misadventure is similar in that I want to return the $13 cord, get my refund, and pretend the whole thing never happened.

All this nostalgia lately.  Cant decide if it's good or bad.  Or just another distraction.  Love my old watch (with new $3 battery), but just realized the impetus for it "watching" my computer yesterday.  Robert R.  Haha, that is so crazy and funny and subconscious!  I thought it was trying on Cords at the Apple store.  Dave, you interesting creature!

POURING rain outside.  Thought there would be a massive storm yesterday, but it never came.  Waling to work past week while car dent is being fixed.  Anxious to get it back!  The Mini Cooper angst is interesting.  The heart wants what it wants (Echo)


In the back of my mind, I think that dude for Alyson Adventures will email back with an offer I can't refuse for a trip on 12th.  Well see.  Maybe if I manifest it.
