I seem to have rolled into an early Christmas mood. I just made turkey with Cranberries and some untranslatable food that looks like a fat cylindric french fry. In the process I proved that it’s doable to make said untranslatable food without actually owning a deep fryer or ending up as a burn injury statistic. [...]

Come to think of it, that means I’ll die of my narcism or megalomania. That’s a [...]

Ribbons attached to my pants swirled around my legs. But the pièce the résistance was undoubtedly my new shirt. [...]

Let’s just say for now that I’m entering exciting new territory. The powerbook is great though that I can [...]
Lees verder →So I make a huge spreadsheet with my phone behaviour. The whole works based on my bills: when do i call what network for how long. last three months in detail, previous 12 roughly.
