Cabin Fever

02Nov10

I have a confession to make: I need to get out.  Freedom is calling my name, and I must heed its call! Yes, folks.  Cabin fever has struck (see the Wikipedia article on Cabin fever). Due to a lack of muletas (crutches), I have been unable to physically leave my apartment for the past three […]

Adieu, Maryland. Buenos dias, España!

25Aug10

[I’ve been going a little hog-wild with my new 50mm lens for my Canon Rebel XT DSLR, so bear with me as some entries will just be gratuitous, non-food photos.  Like this one.  No worries, though– food will be forthcoming.] Anyway, the last few days of my summer in DC are winding down, and while […]
