Broken

Things that have broken this week:

• The clothes dryer (for the second time)
• My thumbnail, while opening a box of Ben & Jerry’s
• The box of Ben & Jerry’s, which split on the seam as I dug out the icy deliciousness that is Karamel Sutra
• My belt sander — well, it didn’t actually break, but it apparently has become obsolete, as I can find no belts for it anymore
• My iPod, which sent me into a short-term panic, complete with withdrawal symptoms, as it crashed in the middle of Cracker’s “The World is Mine” at the track of the Y last night. Mercifully, Apple’s restart instructions worked, and it seems to be fine now, but it meant I had to go grocery shopping without my own music, a very risky proposition.
