I can not believe how incredibly doltish I was today. I had to develop a film that was inside a canvas, stored at -80 degrees celcius. I take it into the dark room and first, let me first point out that the dark room was not dark. That should have been a big frickin' clue right there. But genius barbie here hums to herself and proceeds to open up the canvas to develop the film. As soon as I flipped open the canvas and saw the yellow film, my mind screamed NOOOOOO. then my mouth screamed, SHIT SHIT! You see, the dark room should be lit with at most a very dull safe red light. That kind of light does not allow the human eye to see much color. Normal white light and the undeveloped film - they are mortal enemies, one must decimate the other, because they can not be allowed to come in contact. therefore, by the time my eyes registered the light bouncing off the film and then is processed by my optical nerve to my brain in which the area that says "yellow" is then activated in my brain, the film is essentially worthless. Apparently speed of thought can not surpass speed of light, either.
DAMNIT. Now I can not see the results of my labor for the past four days. I have to put in a fresh film and then let it sit in the canvas for who knows how long. Oh well it could be worse. I am just an idiot. The other thing was, while putting a fresh film into the extreeeemely cold canvas, I think I gave myself a freezer burn. poor thumb.
in other news, today because i was on the brink of near starvation, I was inspired to compose a small ode to my, well, my breakfast.
You gave me strength when I was weak
You nourished me at my lowest glucose hour
Your crispy golden crunchiness soothes my soul
You know I will always heart you
My Burger King tater tots
This is what lack of sleep plus malnutrition can do to your brain. Be forewarned!
