even when my house is in utter chaos it only takes an hour of concentrated cleaning to make it look perfect again. I got a letter from my future self to charish this right now.  it also said to pass on the tuna salad, whatever that means.

the sun was out when i came home yesterday. this is a big thing when living in the sunset in the summer. because, even though the name says sunset, you can't actually see the sun set for a good part of the year. a more apt name would be fog bank, but that doesn't inflate home prices the same way.

hopefully i'll be processing negs from the hassie tonight.  i need to find some x-tol before then.  the negs from montreal turned out beautifully with the tri-x/ x-tol 1:1 combo.  this time i didn't have the benefit of montreal's spot meter, but they should be decently exposed.  there's one i'm really looking forward to seeing, which is always what gets me in the mood to process for several hours.  i never mark my film so i have to process everything to find the one i'm looking for.  ah, the nostalgia of emulsion!
