i feel like the forum is slowly dying. i say that cause i have noticed it isn't mopving as fast as it was a month ago, but that's fine. i still enjoy checking it. especially more so than other sites. just wish it didn't track my days visited cause i get self concious about how much time i've spent on there. still, though, better than spending it on, say, twitter. or instagram

the canon i have now has a light leak. it wasnt there when i shot the test roll b+w roll. and it wasn't there when i shot the prefvious fuji roll. but it showed up now. maybe a change in temperatures caused the light seal to contract and break? either way, it's something i have to fix now. i think my olympus has one too. i did a temporary fix on that using electrical tape. but that's a hassle to get on and off. and i suspect it removed a chiop of paint from the backing. can't confirm though

this customer named javier buys a lot of our camera stuff. the other day he bought this minolta lens that i donated. he left it for this girl with blue hair. so when she came up to purchase her stuff, i told her that he left her that lens. but, i'm trying to remember if i called him javier or jonathan. last night when i recounted the experience in my head, my mind went for jonathan. which is wrong. but if that's the first one that came to mind, does that mean it's likely what i said to the girl? she didn't correct me or say his name (i would remember that). if i did confuse his name, i would feel bad cause he remembers mine. but more so, there's a chance that she told him i said the wrong one. which doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things...

ok, after my trip to new york at the end of tyhis month i'm gouing to find a second job. i said this at the beginnign of the year, but i put in on pause in case i wanted to do something vacation-adjacent with anyone. but seeing as nothing will happen, apart from my trip to nyc, i might as well put an end to that wait and just start saving money. i don't want another job. i like my four day wekeends. i feel that it's in my best interest to, though. hate this world
