So THAT'S why there are fruit flies in our bathroom!

I just found two month old rotting fruit in our closet.

This discovery was made during a frantic search for my camera's manual so that I could study it and learn more about shutter speed and aperature (NERD ALERT!) So as I am tearing apart every nook and cranny of our apartment, I happened to look inside my backpack in the closet which, sadly, I have not unpacked since the PowerPlant Coordinator's trip back in what, October? (If any NAMBers are reading this, I HAVE unpacked and used the big notebook). But while I was digging through all the distribution materials and collared shirts I came home with, I noticed a nasty smell and puzzling sappy goo. It seems the apple and orange I took from the hotel's breakfast buffet were rotting away, tucked into the back of my closet. Big time gross!

I never found my manual and I am VERY upset about it, but Caleb found a PDF version online that I can look at until the prodigal manual returns to me. I love my Nikon D60 like it is my firstborn child and so losing the manual is yucky.

Meanwhile, Caleb is in the midst of Med School Finals and even a Mini-Board. From what I can tell from g-chat quotes, they feel that the name "Mini-Board" does not accurately reflect the horribleness of this exam, so they're calling it "Vlad- Destroyer of Student's Hopes and Dreams" So say a little prayer for Caleb and our Med friends, that they can overcome Vlad.

gross! last year our apartment's pantry STANK and we couldn't figure out what it was...until we dug deep and found a big bag of moldy potatoes we had forgotten about. who knew potatoes don't last forever? we are now more careful to throw things out instead of push them to the back of the shelf...
