tweed jackets

I just destroyed almost all of my jackets for work in the wash today. I'm not sure what happened... I used those dry cleaner sheets and when I opened the door, there was black all over the place--all along the walls of the dryer and splotches all over my jackets. I just threw a beige one away; I'm hoping to salvage some of them. I'm so bummed!

In other news, it's my father's fifty-somethingeth birthday. He just had a story published, he's on summer break, and it's his birthday. Some guys have all the luck.

It's also the 100th anniversary of the murder that inspired An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser.

But really, what event today warrents the biggest paragraph? Hmm.
