i love getting mail. i love getting e-mail. i hate catching up with it when i've been gone for several days in a row. for some reason, people think that things should be elevated to "urgent" status if they haven't heard from you in a while.
but i think i'm caught up...
slides and polaroids
i finally got the slide printer...and the polaroid 669 film. and while i was in the camera shop, one of the guys gave me some large prints of the blue angels. i felt really stupid because when he handed me the envelope, they were stuck to the top part and i couldn't see them. so here i was wondering why he was giving me an empty padded envelope, and he was looking at me like i was some kind of moron. third time, i finally saw the pictures and pulled them out. i think he was impressed that i knew they were the blue angels. riiight. like i wouldn't know who they were, growing up as i did so close to nas miramar - top gun. i even thought about going into the air force just so i could fly. too bad my vision's so horrible. they'd never take me.
i remember driving down 15 and 52 with my face pressed to the car window so i could see the planes doing touch and gos on the runway...and marvelling at the blinking lights against the stars in the night sky as they circled overhead at night, waiting their turn to land...
