It was pissing down rain here earlier today, and I've got these two roll-up bamboo (I think) blinds which I decided to put down to prevent the rain from blowing into my little covered area where I've got some stuff I didn't want to get wet....
This particular blind didn't want to co-operate and instead fell to pieces, barely hanging on at one end.
I took a few more photos of the busted blind as well, a couple of them more abstract. They can be found in my photostream.

Tonight I went to Lowe's with my parents to buy blinds for my apartment. I ended up choosing these totally rad bamboo roll-up shades. They're so much better than stupid mini blinds. :)
