Writing this on the computer this time because I just feel so slammed right now.

Woke up late again. 9:15. Got ready in a flash. Made a BLT w/ turkey bacon and cream cheese spread on a poppy seed garlic bagel. Yum yum.

Edited my Humi midterm and worked on the weekly reflection. Don't know why it feels like it takes so long to do these assignments as of late. Could be waning interest in writing on the keyboard which is freaky to say since I love love writing. Could just be tired. Put on my glasses and made some coffee around 12:30 which pepped me up enough to start to finish both assignments, finally, but it still hung like a specter around my head until I up and turned it in hours later around 8.

Brother bugged me around 4:15 to go to YogurtLand so fine I took him to the place. Well, the parking lot was absolutely crammed to the bits. No parking period. I dropped him off, circled around a neighborhood, and eventually came back and settled in the parking lot of the nearby Bank of America. After that we swung by to Loop, he got a bag of chips, I bought a car wash. Actually, I got the car wash for free since I had paid for 3 car washes already on our registered phone number (dad's).

Came back home. MY OLYMPUS PEN S ARRIVED!!!! Might be able to send some pics later. Finished off the last 2 and a half green sauce chicken rolls which, from a Google Lens search, I discovered were actually chicken enchiladas. Well, it was still delicious a day later. After eating I played with the Pen S a bit, loaded up it up with some 24-exp Ilford HP5 400, cleaned the UV filter, took a few shots in the bright 5:50 daylight, got paranoid about the rewind crank not turning with the advance wheel (serious Agat 18K flashbacks, I'm telling you), tried to reseat the film in my dark laundry room, thought I fogged the film, but whatever, I'll see it for myself in class when I develop next week or next next week. I'd like to shoot and develop ASAP to make sure the camera is actually fully functional, but for some reason, I don't think I'd mind it's not 100% functional. This thing is so tiny and adorable and sturdy -- like a mini version of my Minolta AL -- I can overlook a few flaws. (The Tele 6 on the other hand ... hehehe. Ambitious point-and-shoots bite off more than it can chew.) AND THIS PEN S IS MANUAL!!

For dinner I had some barley chicken veggie soup and some kimchi. I had a second bowl of soup. Yum yum. After dinner I spent some time indexing and organizing my CRUNCH section of notes from yesterday, and adding in a few extra appends (which I need to do way way more of in my slipbox, saying that aloud now).
