In lieu of an actual post...

...I give you...nail polish bottles. Just having fun with my macro button on my camera lately.

Excuses

My apologies to anyone who expected the L'Eclisse discussion last week. Work is totally overwhelming at the moment. (Is there such a thing as a free weekend or evening anymore?) The next two weeks are going to be especially rough (wrapping up a huge project). If anybody wants to post about the film, please do. I'll join in if/when I can.
