so i got a scanner primarily to be able to scan negatives, however, this function does not work and has not once since i've had the thing. i know of a way that i could have messed it up, but not like it matters because i can not return it. epson sells refurbished scanners for really cheap, and it turns out that the reason they are so affordable is because you can not return them if they do not work properly. oh well, i'll figure something out.

in other news, lauren and i have been going on lots of trips lately. check it out! heres us at yosemite national park.
