Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (45964) • Staten Island, New York 12 Apr

Passover is starting tonight. That means no bread, no grains, no rice, no pasta, no legumes, and no sesame seeds. Also, can’t have mayo or ketchup as it has vinegar in it. And baked goods are out of the question if there is flour...

Good idea or not?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (45964) • Staten Island, New York 7 Apr

I got this idea the other day to gather all the poetry that I’ve written and put it into one book. The book would be divided into sections based on the decade the poems were written. Most of the poems have already been published...

Weird voicemail transcription

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (45964) • Staten Island, New York 14 Mar

Not sure about other phones but iPhones have a feature that transcribes voicemail messages. Without playing the message you can see what the person said. That’s a nice feature to have, however, what’s transcribed isn’t necessarily...
