Since it seems to be true confessions day, here's mine:

I was blown out of bed at the crack o' dawn by construction noise; they were
beginning to "rotomill" my street (scrape off the asphalt, mix it with
crushed C****s and N****s and roll it back on) and there were dozens of guys
and machines and I like that, so I grabbed my ZX-5n and ran out in my
jammies and took a whole roll while the guys looked curiously at the looney
standing in his slippers in the hot tar. Off to 1-hour SkrewUp Photo, and
got back my prints: all but one totally lousy because I shot the whole thing
set on spot-metering, when most shots were beautifully backlit by the
sunrise. Most had washed out backgrounds and pitch dark foregrounds, with
some tiny feature in the center beautifully exposed. Just one was what I
hoped it would look like...Aaargh....
