no new netflix? nothing to read? whatever is the modern day couple to do at night? why - make a matching flickr mosaic! i saw this on denise's blog (did i mention i love her?) and it looked like fun. you answer questions about yourself, and type the answer into flickr to find an image from the 1st page of results. deets on her blog. mick and i had a cozy time on the couch typing in our answers and finding pretty pictures. did i mention i love mosaics? (and denise?) and jack bauer?
