Ice Rage

If you freeze a mocha Ice Rage and then, putting it in the refrigerator, forget about it for 24 hours, not only with it still have a few ice chips in it, but all of the mocha will settle onto the bottom, making for a very dangerous first sip.

The super concentration of mocha has combined with the bright sunshine to give me a huge case of cabin fever. I need to get outside with my flip flops (it's 45 degrees! woo!) and my cameras. There's the issue of work, yeah, but the only other person in the building right now has her door closed and her music blared (much like me). I don't think I'd be missed.

Speaking of which, it has been forever since I have used a 35mm camera. If I accidentally hit the button that opens the back of the camera and then snap it closed almost as quickly, have I ruined the entire roll, or just the few frames directly exposed to the light? I suppose I'll find out when I get it developed.

3 Love Notes

Only the frames exposed to the light

You've ruined the bits that light hit. Fortunately unexposed film is fairly opaque, so unless you had the take-up reel in direct sunlight, those pictures should be safe.

the best thing is that each frame is 35mm wide (duh) so figuring out how many pictures you lost is a question of getting out the ruler.

Oh, and don't feel bad. I'm pretty sure it's a right of passage. The other one is walk into the lab realizing you had forgotten to cap the Stop concentrate last night.

Those switches shouldn't be so easily accessible, I say, and choose to blame it on the manufacturer.
