The obvious photos are by G, plus some.
A long Thanksgiving hike through little red riding hood’s neck of the woods.

It’s been a few months since I got on a plane to go anywhere off-continent, and that being the case, I was flipping through these pictures from Chile this past spring break I scanned in from the Golden/Half. They sell for about $40-50 USD depending on where you buy them, and are super unobtrusive and easy to take covert pictures with. Since they double the roll capacity of any film you use with them, they’re pretty economical, too. Unfortunately, way too often I find myself forgetting to wind the film or take off the cap when I pass it off to someone else.
The camera gets really soft at the edges (and isn’t too sharp anywhere else for that matter), but I love the lomo toy-camera look all the scanned pictures have. Especially in bright light, there’s an out-of-world whimsy about them.
We ended up getting cheap seats at a South American soccer game…they come with free riot police.

Not really a recipe post, since I want to perfect the filling ingredients a little bit more and be able to document the actual making process (these are a very visually-necessary food stuff to make). These are, however, the most satisfyingly crunchy potstickers I’ve been able to make, so at least I know I have the cooking process down!

Not quite sure where I want this blog heading, if anywhere. Maybe more personal photography.
En route to Grand Central.

I said farewell to my little HP touchsmart tx2 last month when I switched my loyalties to another. It saw me through two years of college, so I figured I owed it a little ode and tribute.
It was one of those cool tablet laptops that you can draw on the screen of. I was convinced I’d use it to doodle and make amazing paintings in photoshop and take notes in class, but it turned out to be a little bulky, a little slow, and way too hot and loud. I turned out to be much too lazy as well.
I first tried listing it on eBay, which I probably will never do for anything again. I knew about Nigerian email scams, but apparently they apply to sales of electronics, too. I ended up listing it on Amazon, where it lives now with a nice boy from Pennsylvania.
