I feel a Speedy itch. Has anybody worn the new sapphire sandwich? Today I'm wearing the Cartier Drive de Cartier Extra Plat. It's my second. The very first one I gave to somebody, at a wake for their grandfather, while very drunk, right off my wrist. I always regretted it, so when I found a brand new one for $2100 I of course jumped on it. It's a perfect watch. I have it on a dark green Hodinkee epsom strap with contrast stitch (the 16m buckle from Cartier that I needed was dear for such a small little piece of metal). I'm glad to have it back on my wrist.

The JLC Calendar watch fell through (I think somebody offered more money on a different platform after my payment was accepted), so I scratched the JLC itch with a Reverso classic monoface small seconds. I like it much more than the GRUT I used to own.

The medium wears great, and that tobacco brown is a great color.

I owned the silver dial original version, which I couldn’t read due to silver on silver, but a blue dial Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar is on its way to me. I miss the silver dialed version, even though legibility was such an issue, so now that prices have come down on the secondary market I had to jump. That’s super cool!

Re: Pixma. I’ve done 2 13x19, 2 11x17 and about a dozen 8x10 prints. I’ve used about 20 percent of the dye. That seems reasonable, and suggests decent longevity. Paper is about $30 per 50 sheets. Per print cost is probably a couple bucks. If I had gotten all of these professionally printed, and it’s all photos I wanted printed and framed, we would be deep into the cost of the printer. I’m very glad I bought it. I love my Df. It’s so fun, and the sensor has a certain magic to it.

It doesn't sound like I'll gain a lot, especially since the the DAC I have fits my physical space so well already. Thank you!

At the biggest yard sale in the world. Another shot just taken with a camera as I bounce around.

It appears that it at least comes with a full set of ink, not the “demo” set that inkjets tend to have. The quality so far on Koala satin is gorgeous. I have printed up to 11x17 so far. It’s just a lot of fun.

I set up my new Pixma PRO-200S today. It’s an absolute game changer for me.

I decided to not crop and let the center point just be off. Yashicamat is hard to get centered photos with. I find it charming. expired portra. About 10 years.

The Benchmark 3 is what I want, but budget doesn’t allow.

Maybe rearranging my desk to fit a PerfectWave 2 (which I used to own) is the way to go. That ain’t gonna fit on my desk :)

I'm persona non grata. Guess I'll stick with with the DAC1.

I have a DAC1 USB to a Luxman P1u to a pair of HD820. Should I do better than the DAC1? I have limited space. Probably pointless to upgrade. Wish I had a DAC still that would not fit there:

What does “gay pride mean to me?” You didn’t have shit to say to me when I came out to you. So maybe shut the fuck up. Hypocritical scumbag sack of shit.

Is this queer enough for you for you to have me be queer enough for Pride? She’s my best friend. How many assholes do I gotta fuck and how many marches do I have to go on before it’s not “Gay Pride?” Do you have a fucking answer on that one, or would you prefer I don’t exist?

It’s not “gay pride” to me. But I’m newly queer. I’m a man who has sex with men. I only came out recently. I took my soon to be step son to Pride this last weekend. I went to a “bachelor party” this last night and had people like this. But it wasn’t “gay pride.” I’m not “gay.” I am queer though. Do I count? Do we? We don’t care if you don’t think we do. We are here. And we are queer. We fucking count. I’m sorry I’m not queer enough for you, Steve.

A phone pic taken at my bachelor party. Everything else was medium format; won’t have it for a while. I think this is quite good. Maybe Doug will have something to say about it, as gatekeeper.* *I’m aware I’m being shitty, I’m just hurt. I’m not trained. I only know how to develop the shit, not take it.

Is my wedding day so I feel like I can finally finally wear my wedding watch.

Had my “bachelor party.” Was mostly wine and queer theory. Gonna get married today.

I think it’s actually an AE-1, but pretty close.

That’s a great picture Ric! Not a very good picture, but I had a gift for my mother. I hoped she would see she was still beautiful, but she complained: my mom, ladies and gents and everyone else.

Taking this out of of the freezer for a trip this weekend. It’s supposedly been frozen since 2002. I’m still gonna run it at 200, I think.
