Little Britain
Britain, Britain, Britain. I bloody love it. I stepped out of Rachel’s front door, walked down the street past lots of nice little shops- none of which were chainstores- and put my card in an ATM. I got money out, … Continue reading

Yellow dwarf
…but it still looks mighty big to this ugly bag of mostly water.
Creepy, I swear it never felt a thing.
I’ve hit things a few times on my bike, and these events didn’t generally have comedy potential, but the times I’ve hit animals have been exciting, to say the least. This has only happened twice, and both times were when … Continue reading
