Does anybody remember laughter????

Since we are now in the digital era it has becomes incredibly difficult for me to remember the last time I bought a real physical cd. Luckily today I actually did. Living in Los Angeles I should probably take advantage that I live in a state that has 3 Amoeba Records. Amoeba being the mecca of all that is holy in music.
I browsed the clearance racks and came out with some stuff I cannot wait to
listen to....


Beth Orton - Trailer Park
Gomez - Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline
Her Space Holiday - Let's get quiet Vol. 1
Gogogoairheart - S/T
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Hard Promises (original issue)

Film : Fuji Sensia 200

This is my film of choice as of late. There is something about the powerful colors it brings when you process this slide film as a negative (look up: cross processing) that make only the best colors come out. A lot of green undertones reminding me of Lomography 200 xpro film. I always find it tricky using slide film because I never want the colors to be too far away from what they are suppose to look like. I hate the strong fuchsia colors that some of the other fuji slide films give you. Yet with sensia you are playing off your own colors in th picture. So far I am a satisfied customer and have started to live off this film. So far so good.

love love love...

Let's get lost somewhere for a minute...
In my head there have been soo many emotions.
I just came back from a trip from San Francisco, always short, always sweet. Jen is leaving and heading to New York in August and my reasons to visit that great city would be cut short.
Change seems to be in the air in all directions and if I knew where it was taking me I think I would be dissapointed.
Last night a homeless man asked to clean our windows at a gas station and eventhough we insisted he didn't, he started to anyways. This man was so happy cleaning our bug infested windows that it brought me to tears. I just couldn't understand what a dipshit I have been being for the last few years. That man had almost nothing and he had a smile on his face while he recounted silly stories about washing strangers windows.
I just kept thinking "I am so lucky..and I can't even take one second to realize that"
I cried the rest of the tears I had left but luckily left with something in the end of that trip.
Cheesy? probably. But I am so sick of being unhappy and most say happiness is a choice and I would normally argue with that but it's true. Make good life choices and the rest is the outlook you choose.

I will remind myself to read this when I am feeling crappy again.
