Found my camera from Highschool, new lens time?

Hey all so while digging through stuff today I finally found my camera from highschool, while it is not a Pentax it is a K mount so I hope I am welcome here. My mom gave me this camera (vivitar v335) in the late 90s-early 00's and I used it pretty heavily for skateboard and concerts but then when I got out of school it got put away and forgotten about, fast forward 20 years and I spend a lot of time behind a digital camera and have been thinking about picking back up some film. Right now I have the 35-70MM that the camera came with and while it is fine I am thinking about getting a prime for it but I am not sure what I want. Since this is a K mount I was hoping I could get some suggestions from here, if this is not the best place let me know. I am going on a cross country trip for 30 days this summer and I think it would be cool to take this along. I was thinking something like a 50mm or 135mm prime since they both can be found under $100, but am open to other suggestions.

getting a new MacBook Air, should I start over or restore from time machine?

So I currently have a 2020 MBP and I am debating on if I should just start fresh or not. for a little context, I started using Macs around 2004 or so with a G4 and then moved to a G5 then at some point to an Intel Mac. I know that from the G4 to G5 I moved the HDD over and IIRC I did the same thing to go to intel, if I didnt then I used time machine. Well since getting the first Intel Mac I have been restoring time machine backup or moving HDDs over ever since so I am know I am carrying around some dead weight. I am kind of on the fence on which way I should go for my new MBA, on one hand it would be nice to start fresh since I no longer use MacOS as my daily driver and it is 90% a photo editing machine but on the other hand it is kind of fun running across stuff from the mid-2000s when I was in high school. I know the correct answer is to just start fresh but I am curious if anyone else has had this internal struggle?
