*Item #1*: Today is my birthday. Gifts may be sent to: Siena Italian Studies / Strada Massetana, 38 / 53100 Siena, Italy. Please do not send anything alive or recently dead. Customs officials make me pay extra.
*Item #2*: This blog … rather… this BRAND SPANKIN NEW blog is just chock full of spicy delights. Spiciest of all being *Twenty Fourth*; the third iteration of my online photo journal. I have been obsessively taking photos of everyone I know for 2 years now, and you can find every last shot in the sidebar, under the titles “Italia” (Sept 2005 – Oct 2006) and “Pearl Street” (Oct 2006 – Sept 2007).
*Item #3*: I wrote a short blog entry for shotgunflat today, and it can read here.
*Item #4*: My dearest little sister successfully wished me a happy birthday over iChat today. Look!
