Ok, I can't believe I am actually blogging, and not posting an excuse for not blogging. Lots of things have been happening so I thought I had better get them in a post before it was too late.
Friday Night - Little Man's scout troop went to the Drive-IN to see Chronicals of Narnia ~ Prince Caspian. He and I had a great time in spite of the fact that the drive in sux just as much as it did 35 years ago. The screen is way to dark, and the sound stinks. Like I said though it didn't stop us from having fun. Not even the 87 degree temps (in the freekin dark) got us down. We didn't get home until after midnight, another big deal when you are nearly 11 years old.
Saturday Morning - I went to my favorite bone crusher Dr. K. He is an awesome chiropractor, who has done many great things as far as my families health is concerned. I had to make it in a week early because my back neck was hurting from my body's compensation for not being able to breath and coughing so damn much. When I left I knew he had gotten everything back were it was supposed to be because I heard it snap back, and I could feel it. However, the pain was still there. I figured that by the next morning everything would be fine.
Sunday Morning - I woke up in a great deal of pain, and after much discussion it was desided that my fotonut parents would take my children to church while I tried to schedule my first ever massage. Both my brother and his wife have back problems and get Deep Tissue Massages once a month. I had always heard that massages were wonderful and a joy to experience. Boy was I wrong! That was the most painful thing I think I have gone through in a very long time. Frankly, it fuckinA hurt like a big dawg.
I knew it needed to be done because it felt like the guy was pushing walnuts under my skin. He kept saying, "Man you are all knotted up." I am scheduled to go back once a month for the next 6. Hopefully, now that most of the kinks are worked out the next one will be more pleasant.
Sunday Afternoon - I told Little Man I had seen our newest family member in the kitchen last night, scurrying across the floor. (What I want to know is how it is possible to own 2, yes 2, vigan cats in a row? This one was in the livingroom looking right at that little shit of a mouse and she couldn't have been any less interested.) I said, "Man, I sure hope that mouse isn't pregnant." To which Little Man replied, "Why?" I said, "Well because when mice have babies they have a whole mess of them at the same time, and I don't want mice all over the house." In a very conscerned tone Little Man asked, "Well could we get it neutered?" I chuckled and said, "No I am going to get it dead!"
Monday at work - Well work sux, whats new?
Monday Night - If you haven't yet been to my flickr page, and seen my recently posted pictures of the antique camera's owned and used by my Fotonut Grandfather that I was given last Christmas please do so. I have been trying to find film for this camera but it isn't easy because Kodak stoped making it in the `40s. Anyway, there is a way to convert 120 but I really didn't want to do it for lots of reasons I won't boar you with. But I will tell you that in exactly 22 hours and 21 minutes I will know if I scored 9 rolls of still in the freekin package 116 kodak film on eBay. So far I am the highest bidder at $17.00. I am prepaired to pay $40.00 but hope I don't have to. The kicker is that since it is very old and very expired it will take between $20 and $30 per roll to have it processed, and then there is no garantee the pictures will turn out. I also found a place that is selling original rerolled 116 film that has been propperly stored and would likely work well. It, however, is $35.00 a roll and I would still have to spend as much to have it processed.
This is one of those things where it doesn't matter how much it costs, I am going to do it. My Grandfather was a very special person in my life and I can hardly wait to get snapping.
I will update and let you know if I score the eBay find.
