here is the deal with my lack of posting: our digital camera broke and i have been reduced to using throw-away cameras. inconveniently, our scanner is also broken, and i have no money with which to get my photos developed, therefore i cannot post them here.

the good news is that i was just in maryland, and my aunt let me use her camera. i shall have her email the photos to me, and i will have a big huge batch to put up here.

the bad news is that she lives three hours away, and i can only use the camera every time i visit her, which is approximately twice a year, or so.

here comes Amber's Brilliant Solution: i am going to get a job, and buy myself a new camera. a good one. a grand one. hells yes. and then i will post more. i promise.
