Fait accompli

Posted on January 31, 2007 by sirchristopher101

Wheel of Fortune

Posted on January 28, 2007 by sirchristopher101

You may have noted a spike in the frequency with which I was recording my valuable thoughts for posterity. I don’t know if that was symptomatic of anything, but I think I will turn it down a notch. Update-wise, I … Continue reading →

La boîte magique

Phoning it in

Posted on January 18, 2007 by sirchristopher101

You got your cayenne in my hot chocolate! You got your hot chocolate in my cayenne!

Happy potty time

Posted on January 15, 2007 by sirchristopher101

I was up this morning at 5:45 because Pokey was a bit fussy, and, well, a bit flatulent. I thought he had already pooped, and you don’t want that stuff to linger in a diaper. First, it’s probably neither healthy nor … Continue reading →

Posted on January 12, 2007 by sirchristopher101
