Oooohh! Went over to dinner tonight and talked to dad about photography and stuff. He gave me a little Rollei 121BC flash unit that he got from a garage sale for a doller. Very sexy little unit (front, back darker view of the back (but with the scales slightly more visible)). The scales are pretty

Unlike the Rex alarm clock, my body has now decided that 4:22am is a good time to wake me up and inform me that I drank too much water the night before, and therefor have to go to the bathroom. This is a good thing, because for the last week or so it’s been around

Strange People at Work When I went up into the break room at work yesterday there was a petition sitting on the table there, with a page of signatures, which basically said that the recent legislation to allow gay marriages would lead to the moral decay of the country, and was petitioning the government to
