Failed to sleep since my last entry. Read some email; watched some television shows taped a month ago; sorted and labelled some of the photos from the wedding last weekend (just roll#/frame# with a Sharpie, not my fancy lots-of-info stickers); drove out to pick up film that wasn't ready yesterday; stopped for milk and garlic; wrapped more metal around the positive terminal of my car battery, which seems to be shrinking or something (the clamp is tightened as far as it can close, and it manages to become loose and fall off without coming unscrewed any). Realized I was pretty darned tired when I hit North Ave. and noticed that a zebra crossing was shimmering/rippling. It's been overcast all day, raining for part of it -- the pavement isn't hot enough to do the heat-ripple thang, so either there's some "Oooh, magic over here" special effect and I'm in a television show, or my eyes were going wonky from lack of sleep. (Hey, do the characters see all the special effects, or are some of them only visible to the audience? Obviously the characters must see some of the effects, 'cause the actors have to pretend to see 'em, but some I'm not so sure about, y'know?) Oh, right, parentangentical comments: D'Glenn must need to sleep. Wheee. But first, some leftover mac&cheese w/broccoli&peppers. G'night.

(One last bit: got the contact sheets from the infrared film I shot at the wedding. Way more useable frames than I'm used to with IR film. Combination of a bunch of posed group shots, and my only bracketing one direction from the meter-guess instead of bracketing over and under. Fewer "bulletproof" (nearly opaque) frames this time. But there was one shot of the bride and groom that I had to get printed as a negative (i.e. print onto reversal paper normally used for making prints from slides, so that the print is still a negative) because the neg looked so very cool. Hope it looks as cool at proof size as it did on the contact sheet.)
