It's ok, I make sleep deprived fuck ups all the time. Case in point my speakers weren't working a couple of days ago. I'd turn them on and nothing.

Of course anyone looking to take photographs in New York needs to look into their recent and draconian photography legislation.

*shudder*

See, I'd love to live in NYC but...
