Couldn’t help thinking while watching this movie that it’s unfair. How, for example, can I not like a movie with music by David Bowie? Several references to The Smiths? Fleetwood Mac, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, etc. As well as discussions about To Kill A Mockingbird, On The Road and The Fountainhead? Can those books get… Continue reading The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

It’s a universal dish as all cultures and nationalities have roast chicken… Continue reading Amici’s Roast Chicken

Sick Ayuc, Groceries, A Kid’s Fight Against Cancer, and other things.

Since it manages to boot up to a certain point, I’m blaming RAM. I have a source where I can buy 1gb.… Continue reading Sick Ayuc, Groceries, A Kid’s Fight Against Cancer, and other things.
