more things I hate

Sorry guys. I’ll do a post on nice things. Soon. Two things today: You know when you have gotten to a point on your life when you can pick and choose which tissue you buy? Life’s too short for one-ply, etc? And you know which tissue you’ll buy on a budget, (Hanan) and which one […]

when I hate writing

What a great first post of the year. The irony here is of course that I’m just trying to avoid the three writing assignments that I took on with almost no intention of doing them on time. I hate writing when I have a deadline. Some of the best stuff comes out when I have […]

Poster Justice League - Akello

Geostorm is exactly what it sounds like – a […]
