Were toys really that sucky back in the 60s? Good lord, that doesn’t even look fun.

[EDIT] Even better version under the cut…

We went to the late-night flea market (8pm-2am) at the fairgrounds the other day. I picked up a Ricoh Auto Shot to add to my collection. Normally I only buy cameras that I check beforehand to make sure they’re usable… even though they’re in my collection I like to shoot a roll to test the camera out, and see the results.

This new camera though, I was unable to test. When I opened the back I saw that there was a roll of film loaded in there.

So I plopped down my $5 for the camera and took it home and developed the film. It was Plux-X Pan, so I developed it in the kitchen sink.

Unfortunately, there were only two images on the roll:

As for the camera? It doesn’t work.

Eh, a bit late since it’s almost the weekend again. But I haven’t updated for a while and I didn’t have anything else to talk about.

Friday:
Not much. Dinner at Friday’s then some Halo.

Saturday:
Walked around Six Flags for a bit, then a quick side trip to Oberweis (the have the best chocolate peanut butter ice cream). Then a bit later we had dinner at Pat’s Pizza, and played more Halo.

Sunday:
We headed out to Glencoe to catch the Midwest Bonsai Society’s show at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Almost missed it this year; didn’t find out about it until shortly before we headed out. I picked up a small Ficus salicifolia (willow leaf fig) to add to my collection.

Once we got home we relaxed and played more Halo. Then Justin went out to jam a bit in preparation for the upcoming Elvi show.

Yesterday I picked up the Wii Fit. It’s pretty fun, and a few of the games/activities really wear you out.

We’ll have to hit Six Flags this weekend and try out the newly-opened Dark Knight.

I finally got off my ass and finished up with my crafty project… and the results have been listed over on etsy. So go shopping.
