No - my chemicals are toast after using them past capacity quite a bit, and I was on backorder for 2 months to get both C-41 and E-6 chems in 5L sizes from Freestyle (finally got them today, as it happens). So when I sent out a load of chromes I included a few C-41 things that I wasn't comfortable with developing here with the old chemicals.
And thanks

The interior light (purple) was from the TV. You can't tell here, but an impression of the parking lot is reflected in each of the tiny squares.

Ray, I like the triple repetition of partial circles in this one. Very bold and geometric.

Thank you Jonathan.
Since this is our thread for "Gee, I wonder what that will look like as a photograph..." here goes! I mounted an old slide projector lens (B&H 4" f3.5 Trionar) using a piece of cardboard as a lens board, and went outside to experiment. To make things as absolutely random as possible, I used my "expired in 1983 and never frozen" Tri-X (rated as ASA 25 as if that made a difference), used an old lens cap as a shutter, and developed it in HC-110. The meter reading for f3.5 was about 1/8th second, so clearly everything was grossly over-exposed (I couldn't get the lens cap off and on anywhere near that fast) and to top it off, I scratched one of the negatives in the tray, because I was being a bit too casual about this "experiment." And after adding a heck of a lot of contrast in Photoshop, sort of erasing the scratch as best I could, here are the results of today's playing:
