It has since occured to me that for those few of you who might be too young (or [...]

So, Jamie D. and I went out the other night to celebrate our "anniversary." We went to Carraba's and hung out at Borders for a while.

Today the weather is kinda rainy, but it's a good kinda rainy, I think. I'm considering doing some laundry...
