i didn't do it

There are a couple of things I hope you can tell from looking at this picture:

1) It is December (the lights on the floor).

2) It is hot enough in said month I had to open the window.

3) The blinds are broken.

I was trying to tape (yes, tape. I didn't have anything else.) the lights around the window. I got hot. I opened the blinds to open the window and the blinds wouldn't go back down! The more I tried pulling on the stupid pull-string the more broken the blinds became! It was all very quite traumatizing. Our neighbors are literally about 6 feet from our front door. I'm sure they got a good laugh at me that day watching me try to close those cursed blinds. 

The way I fixed them was genius! I cut the strings! Joe doesn't know this, I think. All the blinds in our house are crappy any way, so it wasn't a big lose. Now, the blinds just limply sit on the window sill. Oops.
