What I’m Wearing Today

I’m trying something new today. Per the Mayor of My Apartment’s request I’m going to post a photo of me! It’s kind of a funny concept but I’m going to give it a try and see how this goes. I’m playing around with Apple’s PhotoBooth Application (which is what I used to take this photo…
