As winter sets in and I get ready to head back to Chicago for the Renegade Craft Fair and see pals back in the homeland, I am reminded of how much time I spent in this lego-prison. Well, it wasn’t all bad. Oh, Chicago, how I love thee.

The snow is really assaulting the windshield as I head for the Louisville junction, the dog turning tight circles in the back, then dropping down into a ball and tucking her nose into her tail, resigning herself to yet another hundred miles of bleak highway. I start drifting off into the past as the world gets dimmer and whiter.
This week, I’m celebrating the 2000 miles I’ve driven in the last two weeks: To places like Cincinnati, Nashville, and along I-74, much like the narrator in this story, to and from Urbana, Illinois. My own ramblings to come, but until then, the tart, if not sweet perspective of one tired driver who leaves to come back home again:  Indianapolis (Highway 74): newyorker.com

Film for sale!

A shout out through the Tumblr-sphere for robmizell, who has some delish film to scoop up. Polaroids! Infrared. Yum. You know you want it.

Rob says:

Five rolls of Kodak HIE High-Speed Infrared Film (whatever ISO you damn well feel like shooting that day) all the same batch number and all expired 08/2004. This film is no longer in production. Also, from what I gather, this film hasn’t been chilled. I found it in a dark, climate controlled prop closet. I’m sure it still functions like film should though. $25 a roll + shipping. Buy all five and get a discount.

One unopened box of Polaroid Type 55 PN (ISO 50). $70 or best offer +shipping. Here’s the kicker on this. I found it in a freezer with other film. Now, I don’t know how cold that freezer was, but the box states not to freeze it. So the condition of this film is a total toss up. I did a quick Google search of the effects and it looks pretty interesting. Still, buyer beware. A box of this stuff expired goes for $150+ normally, I still think this is a great deal.

If anyone wants to buy this stuff, please email me at film at robmizell dot com. Also, if you could retweet and reblog this, I would greatly appreciate it.
