My sister wanted a Polaroid camera for her birthday and some of the rare film for it. Urban Outfitters had one left when I got there and it was being held for someone. But the rules were that you couldn’t hold it and you had to buy it in person because they’re limited. I’m not sure what happened, but I ended up with a birthday present for my sister and it cost a metric buttload, too. And unless the Impossible Project gets going, there isn’t going to be any more Polaroid film in the world.

I bought an MFP today for a couple of reasons. First is that the abbreviation looks like “motherf*cking printer.” Second is that my printer and scanner are probably fifteen years old and while the printer works fine, the scanner software has gone the way of the dodo. I have to start up WindowsXP on VMWare or I have to start X Window to get something scanning. I figured it would be easier just to buy a “multifunction printer.” It even makes copies without having to fiddle with several programs like I used to have to do. Anyway, I don’t feel too guilty about buying a new printer and scanner after fifteen years.

Wow, that’s even more boring than my usual Friday night, isn’t it?
