Home makeover

Posted: 27th July 2011 by T.F.P. in Life

I’ve been considering doing a total home makeover. We have no cohesive decorating scheme here, so our place looks more like a house shared by college students than one owned by firmly established adults with a child. We have a bunch of ragtag furniture, posters on the wall instead of actual art, etc. It’s pretty [...]

I didn’t see the game (I’m not a soccer fan), [...]

Why is carmageddon being talked about in the national news so much??? It’s road construction. In the summer. Is that suddenly news or something? Give me a break. Yeah, yeah, so the 405 is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the country and shutting it down even for one weekend could lead to [...]
