Ketchup Post

I have been doing some housecleaning on the laptop and came up with some photos and videos that were not previously posted. The Chronulator The Chronulator is a great little clock kit.

Notes from the overground

1. Near-freezing temperatures today: the weather could not make up its mind whether to rain, snow, or hail this morning. 2. Massage. Yeay! My back’s still pretty f’ed up, yo.

She had eaten something that stuck to the roof of her mouth (like peanut butter) and as she scraped her tongue across it, it produced noises … Continue reading Se habla Español
