I have somehow managed to smash the screen on my digital camera. When I turn the camera on, it looks like this: Sorry for the blurriness of this. I took it with my cell phone camera. Because, really, how else are you going to take a picture of your camera? I have *no idea* how […] →Read more

I seem to have received a heck of a lot of nice presents lately! First up, this Calathea plant, given to me by the trainees on my last day at my old job. They said it was for my new office! So sweet! That same day my then-boss gave me these roses to thank me […] →Read more
