How much time per day...

I've gotten notified that I am eligible for the Covid Vaccine, but I cannot find an appointment. There is a vaccine finder website that keeps sending me to Fred Meyers or Walgreens to make an appointment, but then the appointment site says it's out.

I want to sit here and bash at the internet until an appointment falls out but I don't think that's a good use of my time. The sites are likely overwhelmed. Also, I am not supposed to be eligible yet, I mean, I am supposed to be on the 5th which is pretty soon but not yet. Oregon's rollout has had a lot of errors, like errors in at least the tens of thousands in regards to appointments. Waiting a few days until things settle and to make sure this isn't an error is likely my best move, but I really don't want to wait! I want to sit here and poke and refresh webpages.

I am way too freaking judgey of my own photography at times

I am about a quarter of the way through my project of sorting / re-editing all my old pictures from Kane concerts. I'll probably post a few times about this project. Some of the color correction is going really well! Omg, the color info my camera at the time got was actually really impressive.

At the time (circa 2009), I thought my pictures were painfully bad. Looking back, wtf was I on?

Okay, for context:

* My original files are gone. Someone deleted them off of one of my drive deliberately because she that'd be a cute thing to do

* My current files are not just JPEG exports, they are the version downscaled for 2009 era social media posting that I recovered by DL-ing from my own FB and photobucket accounts

* Concerts are the worst. The subjects move. The light sources move. Tons of reflections. Stupid mikes are in front of the faces for some reason. I really wish concerts would stop having all the mikes and stuff, really gets in the way of my shots.

* I was using the very first M43 camera with a kit lens and was still too scared to use any mode but iAuto / programmatic.

* This is a tight crop:
