--Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
On the way to (and back from) Pittsburgh, I listened to an audio version of
A Wrinkle in Time read by Madeleine L’Engle. So cool. Besides the fact that it made the ride fly by, it was great to hear how the author intended it to be read. I remember Mom reading it to us (“us” being my siblings and I) when I was a kid.
Let’s take a moment to discuss how proud I am of my baby brother (fully realizing that since he’s 22 I probably can no longer call him my baby brother). Last week there was an article about him in
The Michigan Daily. It’s all about
EatBlue. This is the third time EatBlue has been in the Daily, including a brief mention in a Super Bowl
article and an
article about blocking pop-up ads. Way to go, Jake!
Last night Jeff and I went to the Tigers game. I haven't been to a baseball game in
years, but let me tell you, it was so fun. Got some cool pictures too. I've been talking with my Young Judaea kids about having our kickoff event in the fall be a game. After going last night, I can't wait to go with a bunch of kids!!
(surprisingly, I really don't mean that to sound sarcastic)
So I spent about an hour today on the phone with Circuit City, trying to fix my camera. It turns out that there's some weird square on all my pictures, that every time I've noticed I brushed off as being something on the lens. Something on the lens that leaves a perfect square shape in the same exact spot despite the lens being cleaned... Right... But customer service sucks, so I still have the spot, and have to call by after I change batteries. 'Cause I'm sure
that's the problem. Why didn't
I think of that?
(this time the sarcasm is intentional) I almost want them to just replace my camera, which means they'd give me money towards a new camera since my camera isn't made anymore. But since I still would have nowhere near enough money to buy the
Canon Digital Rebel, the most gorgeous camera
ever, I guess I should just deal with my old camera (which I really do love and takes awesome pictures besides the random square).
