Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Who needs scented candles, incense or oil burners when you have a jack-o-lantern?

I had the most bizarre dream last night.
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007I don’t remember much of it, but the part that was the most disturbing was that I had to eat goldfish. They were chopped up into some kind of soup or stew. But they were chopped up into big pieces. And two of the goldfish that were chopped up and in the […]
