well at least someone's still making EF-M mount lenses

should make a list of all the other smaller things i wanna get for this thing. like i realized an extra arca swiss plate would be good

looked up what a halfway decent tele lens costs for my new toy and made a noise like a video game character taking damage

one new camera battery charged, 2 to go. i have also labeled everything (also the new canon batteries i bought) so i can tell which one is which

been dialing this in throughout the day btw i think 20s (measured on an actual timer) is about the sweet spot here, at least after the first steeping or two. also definitely need the tea filter, those little bits in the cup make it gross after a while

you have undoubtedly seen this but

big night tonight gonna go to the grocery store and buy 1 (one) beer (wanna try putting some in chili)

i have to admit every time i see people with their modular videography rigs i'm like, i have no good use for that... but i wish i did real danger of me buying a camera cage and a carrying handle and more little posable arms and stuff at some point

don't think i'll make it to the beach before it's dark at this rate so let's try shooting some video in the backyard

while i was making tea this thing arrived it's noticeably heavier than my eos m50. pictures look decent at first glance, just in auto mode

how long do you think they're gonna try and keep up appearances with shitty AI videos after It Happens

went outside for the first time today earlier to throw away some green waste and hit a package with the back door i'd gotten no indication this was on the way lol it just kinda showed up

talked about valentine's day with my japanese tutor too, i was curious how much of a thing it actually is, having only seen it in anime really she said it's very common when you're in school, and a fair number of people still give people chocolate as adults. how about that

me to maybe a dozen podcasters on patreon and a bunch of people on here

realizing i never ate breakfast beyond a packet of sultana biscuits, because i gotta go to the grocery store guess i can fry an egg tho

always hate this terf ass phrasing on google maps tbh. just say "women owned" and take it as understood that you're not verifying this and their conception of gender might be different from that of the person reading

just found out they also have costco in japan and i feel left out

don't feel like doing much while waiting for packidge maybe i should buy that SRW touhou game?? idk i'm still on the fence

should have packidge in about 1-2 hours... then maybe i'll go to the beach to putter around and test it out

found the stats screen in my podcast app and... bit of a cognitohazard apparently i've listened to over 3000 hours of podcasts in the like nine years i've used this thing (i guess it transfered the stats when i switched phones)

more situation roleplay stuff this week with my japanese tutor. you'd think i wouldn't need to spend 3 lessons on restaurant phrases but i love asking about details like "oh what is a natural way to respond to this" or "i know i can say 'gochisousama deshita' at the end but when would i do that"

i often think about this review

oo, my new old camera shipped already. packidge tomorrow my liege??

ugh people are running these AI agents on bluesky now. fuck off. i want to talk to real people

lol i was idly looking at what accessories exist for the a7 ii but due to the terrible sony naming scheme it's so hard to look for so much stuff is about the a7c ii which is a more recent entry-level full frame mirrorless

i guess i should continue booking hotels probably. i did the two i really wanted to do to make sure i got max discount but the 90 day window is approaching for the others too

i failed to go to the beach btw but i did manage to clean the kitchen and bathroom and vacuum. ya win some ya lose some

making a deal with myself that this means i am not buying color calibration gear any time soon

oops (bought the a7ii and a samyang 35mm f/2.8 pancake which is basically the equivalent of the 22mm i use most on the m50)

oh no i found a relatively affordable second hand sony alpha a7 ii what if... packidge.........

THE 75 TONNE HIGH CAPACITY RAIL CRANE (1979)

WRT LRT i do love a panorama or photo collage or whatever. i should redo the thing i had in my room at my parents, which was uh. instead of stitching a single panorama image i'd printed the individual corrected/aligned shots and glued them together too bad it kinda fell apart when i took it down

Post a tree you photographed:

not feeling great tbh. maybe i'll go putter around the beach a bit

i've been trying to take better care of my teeth again but i accidentally stabbed myself in the gums with a toothpick weird and it has been driving me nuts

packidge

its friday the 13th baby

goodmorning¹ i slept in and now i'm wondering if i can shower before my packidge gets here. also i should book more hotels 1. it's noon

strawberry found a potato

ok i put out the garbage very quietly. goodnight

NIST Reference Homie

international payment infrastructure is fascinating. i think the verification for my credit card for this hotel went through about seven redirects before it got to my bank's servers. which then told me to open a URL in a new tab and paste a code in there to confirm

fascinating. this hotel wants me to enter my phone number but it's numbers-only. so do i enter 01031[...] because 010 is the international number prefix for japan (and 31 is the netherlands)??

i guess i really need to start booking hotels for japan. but i don't know what i'm doing and it's scawwy. what if i fuck it up

also you may remember how i was like "oh i have some money that isn't spoken for let's buy a circular saw" ... i forgot about the 700EUR municipal tax thing
