i lost my mind in the darkroom on monday,
I lost the second set of negs I'd needed, turns out I'd completely rearranged my whole library of negatives (read: box) in some kind of drunken stupor. And had taken with me negs for photographs of a horse I was testing something out with. so I had to go home and hunt for them ( not easy with that many in the box, unlabbled :C )

I found them, got back, and promptly set up the enlarger backwards (i *usually* know the "order of the grades" in my head), and create some crazy hybrid colour printing settings, despite printing black and white onto bw paper.

I then ruined /three sheets/ of 16x20 IlFord Multigrade Warmtone Lustre, and people in photography will know how fucking expensive that paper is. And had to have the whole project hanging on (critique is tomorrow) on the final sheet. If I fucked that up, I'd have to buy a whole box.

It was just a horrible day, you know when your mind just doesn't work right? I got home, and just sat there for an hour whilst my thoughts slowly filed themselves in the correct cabinets (IN MY BRAIN!!!!!!!!!).

yeh. I've never typed a long answer before, and I'm so proud I'm not going to apologise
