always a good side

Who said being fat was bad? Apparently, it might actually save lives.

 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An inmate scheduled for execution in October says he’s so fat that Ohio executioners would have trouble finding his veins and he might not be properly anesthetized.

In other news, I finally got back my two rolls of 120 mm film. A few things about buying a Holga I would like to pass on to those wishing to take up this hobbey.

  • There are like 4 places in all of LA that still develop traditional film, only one exists in Santa Monica. That would be Boulevard Photo on 12th and Wilshire.
  • Of the 24 pictures I took, roughly 6 of them were decent enough. Those six pictures cost me $36 to develop. One set.
  • Learn how to manually wind the film, apparently this is key to not exposing your stuff.

Otherwise, enjoy…

dear Jon

Did I mention I adore Jon Stewart? True, the Daily Show has gotten a little less funny in recent years, but it’s not to say they don’t have a good few moments now and again. I finally caught up on a little the other day as I realized I needed to clear some room from my DVR.

I don’t hate McCain, really I don’t. But this is a great clip of the DS ripping on him.

Frankie can come up with a few good ones now and again. Lately, this is my favorite:

Sometimes, the future is a small price to pay for some goodness today.

Thanks Frankie, wise words. I might listen to them.
