crack

Monday, March 31st, 2008

yesterday night i discovered that the glass on my lens filter is totally cracked. what’s weird is i have NO idea how it happened. and since it doesn’t seem to be screwed in properly, i can’t get it off either. sigh. i guess that means a field trip to henry’s!

An open letter to Rachael Ray

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Dear Rachael, I watch your show each morning while I run on the treadmill at the gym.
