My tape dispenser is held together with tape

And it's a Friday night debauchery followed by Monday morning guilt kind of morning. I can't believe I bought that camera. It's impulse buying like that which is responsible for me being trapped in an apartment with exploding plumbing. What a schmendrick I am. I thought my apartment was $250 under market value, but I saw a housing report a couple of weeks ago that let me know it's closer to $450. I'm paying Inland Empire prices for an apartment on the Westside of L.A.

All right. Enough chest-beating. I'm a fool—but I'm going to enjoy the hell out of that camera. I already have.

Thanks to Jodi for pointing me to Photobucket. You can't blame her for the misuse I've made of her advice, though.

ETA: Happy birthday, Jodi!!

Some completely stupid pictures here.

These are completely stupid, but they're the only pix that are okay enough to post at this point.

This is my living room. Nobody wants to see my living room, but hey...it was there, so I photographed it. And carefully cropped out the clutter in front of the bookshelf in the foreground. All except the handle of the carpet cleaner which I forgot to move before madly snapping pix.

This is my lace fan from the Jane Austen Museum in Bath and a portrait of me done by my friend Francesca when I had a wild and luxuriant perm. God, can you stand the excitement?
