i’ve been wandering the streets of detroit on google maps and i really really really really really want to move there. not this year tho, maybe in a year or so. how does one make that happen? relocation to a new city seems more daunting then relocating to a new neighborhood.

also does anyone know what the website is to do your taxes for free? (federal and state?) someone mentioned it a while back but i forgot to write it down 🙁 i can’t believe it’s almost april! where does the time go!?

my roommate and his boyfriend are on vacation this week in new orleans and omg i totally forgot just how hard it is to take care of dogs on your own. (2 dogs, not just one) they are SO needy. im doing a good job with it tho. but even after i feed, walk, water, and medicate them they just sit there pouting. :-/

Pete, the heat may damage sensitive parts inside the phone. Best to let it dry naturally. Put the phone in a position where any remaining moisture will drain out of it instead of absorbing into the phone parts.

You can always take the battery out of a cell phone. If ever it is totally frozen, it’s a guaranteed fix–take it out and put it back and voila! But wait until it dries!

Who was asking about the new Smoke Joint/Peaches place where Brook’s used to be? It’s called Hot Peaches. I looked in last week–it’s tiny and more formal than Smoke Joint. Last week they just had a special menu/special price for the restaurant week, but I saw Craig (owner) at Smoke Joint (having lunch with a PLUSA who will not be named) last week and he said they will have a full menu very soon. Just dinner though, for now. I will be on that block again later today (it’s where I do the laundry) and will look in again.
