Okay so it's been what... more than a week since this whole "no buying of film or cameras" thing entered my life. The beautiful camera is still on eBay. The seller re-listed it. Maybe the other bidders didn't get to complete the transaction. Maybe the devil is trying to taunt me. Maybe the seller is the devil. So far, I've been successful in limiting my eBay transactions to "watching".

But I completely forgot about this "no buying" thing on non-eBay transactions. The resident supplier of expired film for LomoManila sent an email announcing new arrivals. Films not normally available in stores at discount prices. The hoarder in me just went berzerk. So there, before I knew it, I was buying in bulk. There. Done. Dammit.

I'll blame it on short term memory.

Okay, that will just be me making excuses.

Fine.

I'm a failure. I can't control myself.

So I guess now I can bid on the Taxona?
