The film I had developed today, which I was told would be ready at 3pm, wasn't done when I went in at 5:40pm. I was told it would be ready tomorrow and I'd get double prints. That's all well and good...or...actually it's not. When you drop of your film for the next day you get doubles for free, which means that everyone that's getting their film on time tomorrow is getting that deal, while I'll be getting mine 24 hours late. I go to this shop, because I've been going there for years, and this guy usually does a good job. But it seems like he could have at least given me a call to let me know that the film wouldn't be finished today, or then given me a discount or something.

After that disappointment, I picked Mark up from work, and found that the camera I thought we were getting, which I've been aching for, for over a year now, will not be mine anytime soon, if at all. Several months ago, when I had the money for the camera, I asked Mark if he wanted to go in on the camera half & half, as he was interested in a new camera too...only we didn't end up doing that. And now I have no camera, and the one that I want will most likely never be mine. I'm so broke right now.

I should go and help out with the Bitserve Stuff. I want to sleep. But I need the cash. I work tomorrow, but then have Tuesday-Saturday off. I originally requested Friday off for an appointment at UofM hospital, which they've since cancelled because they fucked up my appointments. Lots of disappointments lately. I'm trying not to get too depressed about them.

On a lighter note, The Sarah Jane Adventures (the latest Doctor Who spin-off) starts 2 weeks from tonight. I'm very excited. These episodes, along with the show's 'pilot' episode "Invasion of The Bane", which aired on New Year's Day, are the first episodes of what I consider the 4th Season of the Doctor Whoniverse. These will be followed by the final episode of the 3rd Season, the 2007 Christmas Special "Voyage of the Damned", which is itself Part VI of a loose 6 part arc. Then in January we begin Torchwood Season 2, and sometimes between March & May we'll get Season 4 of Doctor Who. News of this show (or groups of shows) keep me going lately.

Also on a more positive note, Luke has been over twice in the last week (actually showing up, after standing me up 6 times previously), and it's been nice seeing him. I'm not holding my breath for more than that, and if he doesn't show up in the near future, I'm not worried about it. I'm single, and enjoying the time we have together, and not worrying about anything else, which is 1 fantastic thing.
