I’m not sure if this is an exhilirating feeling of focus or a weird obsession, but I’m worrying my way down the path of saving for the camera I want.

1. I found some shit to sell. This was hard, as I mostly get rid of (read: give away) stuff I don’t want, but I brought myself to put up an old 16mm film splicer I had lying around on eBay (I’m giving 10% of profits to the Northwest Chapter of the CCFA, a Crohn’s and colitis non-profit). I briefly considered selling a couple of worthwhile 1st editions I had, but, uh, I collect books for various soul-fulfilling purposes and whoring them off to pimp my other hobbies is not one of them.
2. Someone kindly offered to buy my 1st-generation iPhone from me.
3. I got a little business-card printing gig with the ol’ letterpress. Friends can be very kind and supportive!
4. I have a few minor money-making ideas with a few letterpress supplies. More on that later.

I have an inspiration: I want to do a series of dinners based on historical legacy. For example, a Roman meal composed entirely of foods available in the Roman era, cooked with Roman methods. A medieval dinner in the same vein. Perhaps a meal of Renaissance Italy? France in the 18th century? Fun times!
