I had high hopes when we went to see West Side Story last Saturday since all the reviews I read about the show had been good. Someone who had seen a Broadway version even said it was better than Broadway. So yeah, I had high hopes. Sadly, it didn’t deliver. I don’t know if we…… Continue reading Getting Cultured

We had our home energy audit done today. According to the auditor, our house isn’t bad for a house this old (90 years old) but the basement really needs to be insulated because it’s a major heat leak. No wonder the main floor is always so cold in the autumn and winter. We have 18…… Continue reading There’s Always Something

There was an old lady trick-or-treating on Hallowe’en night in an old lady costume. Troy gave her the candies and she left and I was like, “Was it an old lady dressing up as an old lady?” and he confirmed it. It’s still boggling my mind. Stratford never fails to amaze me. I frickin’ hate…… Continue reading Extra Hour My A**

Was busy working and now it’s time for bed already. Maybe I should just turn this blog into a photoblog. The thing is, some days I do feel like rambling and that’s when this blog comes in handy. But most of the days, I just don’t know what to write here. Anyway, to the two…… Continue reading Busy Bee

Don’t really feel like writing. Been feeling kind of blah. Tired of being told I’m a bad person by folks back home in Indonesia for not being religious. Tired of being judged by people who don’t know the whole story. But I haven’t grown tired of the picture above. I think it’s pretty, even if…… Continue reading Meh.

Not much time to write so I’ll just leave you with an overexposed polaroid shot above and a link to Ikea Heights, “a melodrama shot entirely in the Burbank California Ikea Store without the store knowing”. They say it’s a melodrama, but it’s actually more like a comedy. Have a good weekend!

Hello, 2109-you! What does your personal robot attendant do for you each day? Make money. It doesn’t have to get a job. It just needs to be able to make something that no one can live without and therefore is highly profitable. You know, like making other personal robot attendants. Do the dishes. I hate…… Continue reading In 2109, my personal robot attendant will…

I got a roll of film developed today. I started shooting this roll two years ago and I had been carrying the camera to so many places that when I got the negatives, I had no idea where most of the shots were taken. Now that I’ve scanned a few frames, I know that some…… Continue reading Time Machine

It’s a long weekend (again)! Getting excited about the darkroom process again, or rather, alternative darkroom process, and I’m talking about wet darkroom, not digital. Anticipating the arrival of several rolls of old, b&w, 35mm film in the mail from the Old Film Project on Flickr. Having spent more time with my dear husband this…… Continue reading 5 Good Things Friday
