daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
I pulled out a bunch of my old film gear, thinking I’d finally donate or sell it. Of course, I haven’t actually done that yet, so now it’s all just hanging out on my desk like a little museum of procrastination. Maybe I should just tuck it all away… until the next “decluttering” mood hits.
Today Kiki and I went for a fun ride around North Austin, cruising through some of our favorite roads before heading out west and then back home. Check out the video to ride along with us!
I made myself a big bowl of popcorn and settled in to watch Death on the Nile. Since we’re heading to Egypt soon, I figured it’d be fun to revisit the scenery. About ten minutes in, I remembered… oh right, this movie isn’t that great. So I snapped a quick photo for the moment, then happily switched over to my Chinese wuxia drama instead!
Today’s lineup of non-water drinks was simple but perfect: started with coffee, moved on to tea, and ended the day with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Cheers to Friday!
Here’s my Fujifilm X-E4 pulling double duty as a webcam. It looks fantastic and handles the job like a pro!
Tonight I went out to see The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and wow, what a fantastic movie! It had a little bit of everything – action, comedy, a touch of sci-fi, and just the right amount of romance. The story kept me hooked the whole time, and the animation was gorgeous. I found myself grinning, laughing, and maybe even tearing up a little. It’s one of those movies that makes you wish you could time travel too… or at least relive the joy of watching it for the first time again!
I’ve always loved saltines, but the Saltidas I tried in CDMX took things to a whole new level. Paired with shrimp and octopus cocktails, they were pure magic. Fast forward to Texas, where I spotted Gamesa Saladitas at a Mexican market and pounced on them like treasure. A couple of hours later, half the box was gone. I might need an intervention, because these things are way too good!
