RUM

Posted on July 23, 2010 by HappyGoth

So. In order to prove that I actually do stuff while I’m not blogging, I’ve got photographic proof (at the end, because I’m not sure yet how to insert photos in the middle of iPhone posts). Last weekend I piled … Continue reading →

Use Bug Spray

Posted on May 24, 2010 by HappyGoth

No, really. I have one on my thigh and three on my hands, too. So, yeah. Use that bug spray. All Things Middle Eastern was great, and that makes me even sadder that the Shire of Brantestone is being dissolved … Continue reading →
