new old things

minnesota thrift stores have been just okay lately (almost no sweaters or cardigans), though i’ve found some good stuff in the last few days, like a nice fred perry red and black plaid button-down shirt and some really neat brown wing-tips, plus some other shirts and a robe.

autumn is easily my favorite season, as much for the clothing i can finally wear as the weather. whenever there’s a dip in the temperature in august i tend to get really excited, and put on sweaters and blazers, only to be sweating profusely about half an hour later. it’s a real issue.

also, i just got a great new camera, a 35mm canon a-1 from the seventies with three different types of lenses, including a telephoto. i had to drive all over town looking for a place that stocked the right battery, but it now has film as well and is ready to go. it also has a really cool detachable flash, but i don’t know if it works, so it may just be a day-time camera. but that’s okay, i’m flexible.



packing my bags for colorado today, after about two weeks in minnesota. it will be good to be back home, though i’m moving into a new apartment with new roommates, so that will be interesting. but i have faith.
