More Walks

The most recent walk was win but first, Walks 2009.002.

I wouldn’t rule out Wal-Mart for future walks though. There’s always […]

I cant haz embed

That embedded GBS video in my previous post didn’t show up in the RSS feed (or at least in GoogleReader). Curious. Sorry lovelies. I guess you’ll just have to go to the Puddles post to see “Donkey Riding.”

Words that We Couldn’t Say

My Life in iTunes RULES: Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, device, etc. on shuffle. For each question, press the ‘Next’ button to get your answer. You must write that song name down no matter how silly it sounds. Share. If someone says, ‘Are you okay?” you say: “The Inner Light” by Jerry Goldsmith from […]
