February 2003 is missing

Today I called up National Geographic to complain about a missing issue. Last night I was sorta cleaning up and noticed that there was no February 2003 issue. I searched all over the house and in all the bathrooms and no February 2003. I went to the NG site to check out the cover and the articles and none of it looked familiar so either I’m really losing my memory or I never got it. So I called them up and said I’m missing February 2003 and they just said no problem, we’ll send you another issue but it’ll take 3-4 weeks. Best of all no charge. NG is awesome. And just so you know I’m a little NG geek, I’ve been a member since 1986.

I need to go buy a color ink cartridge for my printer, scissors, a bottle opener, envelopes and a portfolio case. I was developing some BW film and printing out some photos over the weekend and ran out of ink. I couldn’t find scissors so I had to use the one on my Swiss Army knife and couldn’t find my bottle opener to open the film canisters so I had to use the one on my Swiss Army knife. A handy thing those Swiss Army knives. The BW pics from KR’s wedding turned out to be not bad, at least good enough to show to the newly wed couple. Maybe my photography is getting better after all. I need some big envelopes to mail 8x10 prints and something to carry around my photos in.

I also need to go buy groceries because I’m going to start eating breakfast. After all these years I’m finally going to listen to the madre and eat breakfast. Maybe a good breakfast and a smaller lunch will give me more energy in my after-work runs.

Wednesday I just need to pick up my film from Black’s which is half the batch from the sea kayak trip.

Thursday I have the day off because I’m going on a hot air balloon ride, which was a birthday gift from the sis. That should keep me busy all morning. I also need to pick up my film from Henry’s, which is the other half of the batch from the sea kayak trip. Then I plan on heading down to West Camera to use their darkroom for a few hours. And then maybe meet up with AF1 for dinner downtown.

Somewhere in there I need to make an optometrist appointment because I’m in the mood for new glasses. And I also have a coupon for a free car wash that I need to use before the end of the month. And I want to get a hair cut because I'm feeling kinda scruffy.

I hope it doesn't rain later because I'm wearing sandals.
