Disappointment Abound!

I hate to be the "Debbie Downer" but the past few days have sent a few disappointments (though small in relation to most) my way.

To start, I finally got around to mailing in the disposable cameras from my wedding (from 2.5 years ago!). I sent them via snail mail to Snapfish. I received the prints in the mail yesterday and was completely disappointed by the results. Only ONE picture actually turned out okay and I had no clue who the person in it was! So I threw it away. I blame two factors - a. the photographers aka: wedding guests (sorry guys, but ya'll stink) and b. the fact that the film has been sitting for awhile probably wasn't a good thing. It's just sad, because I spent some $$ on the development and to get nothing in return kind of stinks.

However, on a positive note, sending film to Snapfish was a snap (no pun intended). I mailed them at the end of last week, received email communication from them that they received it, 2 hours later the developed film was online in my gallery and then I had the prints within 1 week! I totally recommend trying out the fish if you are still a 35mm film lover.

My second disappointment of the week is my own fault. I think I became overly excited about watching Beauty and the Beast again that my expectations were just so high. I watched one episode Tuesday night - let's just say, I don't remember the acting being that poor and I guess in 1987 we were impressed by any type of CG - but it just doesn't translate into the 21st century (duh!). I forced myself to watch another episode yesterday just to give it 'one more try', but the results were the same. I can't imaging myself watching 3 whole seasons! I'm going to let Beauty and the Beast stay in the depths of my memory. I don't think it was worth bringing back. And I advise you all to not make the same mistake as I just did.

Hopefully, the weekend will be more upbeat and I'll have something more positive to blog about. But afterall, this is my site to bitch on as I see fit, right? :)
