Spent the day in the darkroom yesterday.

I had to make about thirty Christmas gifts, and didn't even come close to finishing. Part of the fact was that I was an hour and a half late for my time, but I wouldn't have finished anyway.

I started out well, doing four shots in the first hour, as the negs were very clean and very easy, then moved on to a strip that just had so much crap all over it and I just had to keep cleaning and cleaning them, but they turned out beautifully, and then the third batch was disastrous.

You see, when I did the shots for Guacamole Toes I put the wrong film in my bag, a roll of colour rather than b/w, so I had to rush to the drugstore on my way to the show and get the only b/w film that they had, which was colour process b/w.

You know the difference between b/w and colour process b/w film? Colour process b/w film sucks ass! It's all dull and muddy and you have to shine so much light through the neg (6 seconds as opposed to 10) and I used a thick filter and yet everything still looks all grey. Bleh. I'll get them better than I got them, but it's such a hideous waste of time.

So, I have to go in again next week for all the undone stuff. I swan, some of them I have known that I would do for a year, but have I? It wasn't a few days before I go home, so why would I?

When I got home, I answered all of my December mail, shocking people all over the world. There's still plenty of other mail to answer, going back to 1996, but at least the past month is clear!

Gotta go to work, I'm outta here.

Today's horoscope:
Your imagination is strong today and you relaxing--through TV, movies, stories, tall tales or simply dreaming.

One year ago today:
I'm guessing they're not screening those doormen real well...
