I was trying to setup a self-portrait by hanging my camera from some strings in my room. I attached the stings to my walls using duct tape. When the whole experiment failed, I removed the duct tape, and took a chunk of the paint off with it. Meg, my housemate, and I went to home depot and got them to match the paint and it looks pretty good. When then went to Ikea and I purchased a wall clock for my darkroom to keep track of time while I'm developing prints. I decided that when I do my self-portrait that I have planned for my bed I'm going to have to compromise and use a tripod, which I wanted to get anyway. I'm scouring ebay for good deals.

I just received some bad news from home. My brother was driving on the freeway in the rain and he accidentally rear-ended someone. He's physically fine, but the car may or may not be beyond reasonable repair. Things will be fine I'm sure but this really upsets me.
