Yuck! I am so over winter it is not even funny. It's not the cold, because it hasn't been that especially cold, not for many days at a time, nor many days all told. It's not because of the snow, since it's only snowed any quantity once so far. In fact, I'd welcome more snow, […]

who never, ever, ever goes shopping. Where does a dumbass who never goes shopping go to buy a pair of Converse sneakers? Because I'd like to have a pair once again. Or preferably those no-brand ones that aren't made with sweatshop labor. I'm in a hell of a bind right now, because both of my […]
