Prangster in Chicago

They're back, in black

Almost a year ago, I lost the first pair of sunglasses I ever owned at the cinemas when Jess and I went to watch Mamma Mia. (See that picture on the right of me casually resting my chin on the dock? Those are my old sunglasses there.)

Some argued that I got what I deserved for going to see such a movie, but let's not rehash that argument here. It's time to move on. Because I found a new (old) pair on Ebay recently, and I'm wearing them right now as I'm typing this. They're black. They fit just like my old ones. Putting them on was like riding a bike, but not really riding a bike, since I recently rode a bike into a tree. I'm pretty chuffed that they've come back to me.

Uh, weird. Guess what movie just started on HBO? Mamma Mia. I'm putting my sunglasses on. I'm not losing them to that movie again...

Hello, my new Japanese toy

I bought this Fujifilm Instax Mini instant camera at Narita Airport on my way back from Taipei. It's like carrying a little snowman around town. It takes old school photos like these ones below. My fave part is watching the photo come out of the top after I've snapped a shot. It makes this old timey noise...like waiting for a video to come out of the VHS machine.
