Alesia loves me. She puts up with my antics all the time :)

So, after the tragic incident when my brand new (to me) Nikon FE went crashing to the concrete floor in Aspen, I have been frantically trying to find a way to fix the minor problems that will bug me until the end of its existence if I don’t. I finally won a Nikon FE for parts/repairs on ebay, it should be here on Friday. I also found a book that I’m getting through inter-library loan that should help me out. I’m so excited. I’m going to have to wait until spring break to really work on it, so I’ll have to be patient. I just hope I don’t mess it up entirely and everything goes smoothly. I think if I do it when I’m at my grandparents’ house, I can get my grandpa to help me out some (and use his very extensive collection of tools). I’m really hoping I don’t have to do any electronic stuff, cause I definitely don’t know how to solder or anything.

In other news, Alesia and I bought a couple of rolls of Kodachrome. I think we’ll save it for summer, when the colors are worthy of capture. I was surprised to find any, but I happened to be trolling Adorama and found some, so I bought it. My grandparents also gave me a Polaroid 600 land camera. Of course I don’t have any film for it, but I’m keeping my eye out for it. Surely some little store in OK hasn’t sold it all. If nothing else, it looks like the Impossible Project will be selling film again soon anyway.

Well, I guess that’s all I have for now.
