Thanks Christine for the new keyboard- without it, I wouldn't be able to have "p"s or spaces among other hassles. Now I can even get on the computer whilst the other two housemembers sleep away. Thanks again. Unfortunately, I don't have much of interest to post about: I'm going to start my new job at … Continue reading new keyboard

The same footage of thousands dying over and over and over for an entire … Continue reading Things suck part 2
