Film + Wisdom Teeth

I had my wisdom teeth pulled a few days ago. It was long overdue. I received the x-rays and referral form my dentist early last summer and they had been sitting on my desk until this past December. The surgery was in and out just as they promised, but I remember waking up with tears. It was to the point where I started to hyper-ventilate. Apparently, the medication made me react in such a way that brought out a lot of emotions. I remember dreaming and than waking up to a bunch of doctors around me, almost like in a movie. They brought me E right away and he helped calm me down. His compassion towards me made me feel so loved. I could see how sad he was that I was sad. *Sigh* ... I love him!

I've been on bedrest for the past few days. Since I'm on top of my meds, I haven't been in much pain at all which is a huge blessing. If anything, the most annoying part is not being able to eat normal food. For the first day I was only allowed to have cold liquids. That limited things to milkshakes and protein shakes, all of which are sweet. I could feel my stomach eating itself, trying to devour something a little more tangible than shakes. I'm on day four and I've been sipping down mac and cheese and pasta. I still can't chew but at least my stomach is starting to feel a bit fuller. I can't wait until I can chomp on a giant cheeseburger. :)

Remember my post about film? Well, I finally had a chance to drop off my cheap-o film at CVS today. I DO NOT recommend getting your film processed there. The only reason I did was because I was uncertain of whether or not my exposures turned out and I didn't want to shell out the large amount a good photo lab costs. After seeing that all 27 exposures turned out (yay!), I'm ready to move onto the good film and a good photo lab. Below I've scanned a picture...so you can imagine the quality is lacking. Cheap film + crappy photo development + crappy printing + a crappy scanner. The picture looks much better in person but is still lacking in quality and doesn't do my new film camera justice. In fact, the more I look at it, the more I feel like the scanner over-saturated the colors even though I manually input all my scan settings. None the less, there are no touch ups or post processing done to this picture. What you see is what you get and that's what I love about film...it's honest.

As I mentioned, cheap film + cheap development + cheap printing + cheap scanner = injustice to this picture.
