iphone camera round up, random stuff, the mind of a puppy....

iphone mania: here are photos i've taken on my iphone. i got a free program that let's you add black & white effects. it's neat. i've also downloaded apps that will calculate how much to tip in a restaurant, generate random numbers, translate 10 languages AND tell me when i'm ovulating! it's science!!!!!

in other news: i've entered my first cooking competition. it's an annual "chili cook-off" at work and i'm lugging in 2 pounds of my secret recipe. there's a trophy for 1st place and i want it. i need it! here are the categories the chili will be judged by:

At 12pm the Tribunal of Chili Adjudication will convene. During this time, they will sample your submission and give it a score in each of the following categories:
Flavor (25 pts max)
Spiciness (15 pts max)
Heartiness (10 pts max)
Appearance (5 pts max)
Impertinence (5 pts max)

i don't even know what 1/2 of that means! i just know that i want that trophy....

the puppy: well, gilly is right around 12 weeks old (by the vet's guess) and she's finding new ways to shock and amuse us. i feel like i should write a personal ad for her...

hi, my name is gilly. i enjoy going for long walks, stealing vacuum cleaner parts, chewing griffin's face, and eating paper. my owners think i'm easily distracte... HEY, LOOK AT THAT LEAF!!! OH MY GOD, THERE'S A ROCK IN THE GRAVEL!!! I'M GONNA EAT THAT....HEY, A LEAF!!!! ok, where was i? oh yes, i enjoy eating various non edible objects: rocks, dirt, plaster, dryer lint, coffee mugs, wine glasses, griffin's face. i'll try anything once! i'm a little shy around flocks of canadian geese and don't prefer accordion music. i've been told that i'm persistent, stubborn and easily distr... OH MY GOD, GRIFFIN'S WALKING BY, LIKE HE WANTS ME TO EAT HIS FACE!!!! that's all for now, i'm off to start a new project that might involve eating griffin's face and a leaf at the same time. just call me a multi-tasker!

XXXOOOOO,

gilly
