So I have two things to discuss (this blog being my medium of sharing them with you):
1. Kodak
2. A book I just read
Okay, to begin.
Kodak has stopped making film. What?! See, that sentence just doesn't make sense. I've been meaning to blog about this. Inexpensive cameras and the use of photographic film were first made available to people by Kodak. The Kodak people revolutionized photography. I'm sure this sentiment has been phrased much more eloquently by confused photographers elsewhere already, but this really kind of makes me sad. Kodak not selling film is like Smucker's not selling jam-- and instead only producing those "Uncrustable" sandwiches because consumers are too lazy too make their own PB&J's. [Fine, I'll admit they taste okay. But still.] We can only hope that's not where our society is headed.
Anyways....something different to ramble about.
"King Dork" by Frank Portman is a great book. And while I'm not reading the books I should be reading as required by my school's summer reading list, this book is an excellent distraction. Great book. If I cannot convince you how cool this book is, I'll let you be intrigued by this excerpt from the introduction. This is how the main character describes the book:
“It's actually kind of a complicated story, involving at least half a dozen mysteries, plus dead people, naked people, fake people, teen sex, weird sex, drugs, ESP, Satanism, books, blood, Bubblegum, guitars, monks, faith, love, witchcraft, the Bible, girls, a war, a secret code, a head injury, the Crusades, some crimes, mispronunciation skills, a mystery woman, a devil-head, a blow job, and rock and roll."
And now, I have a new book to read, courtesy of Zoe. "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. So, the end. I'll probably be blogging a lot these next two weeks before Artemis and White Stag.
