I’m 26/49ths1 of the way through this Blogathon, to be exact. And I have to say that this is even harder than I thought it would be! I mean, I didn’t expect it to be a walk in the park to publish a blog posting every half hour, but I’m feel far more drained than […] →Read more

#17 – OK, I can’t believe I forgot to blog about this!
So yesterday I got home after work and noticed an odd noise in my apartment. I seemed like *a lot* of water running really fast. My first thought was “didn’t the landlords already water the grass on the past two days in a row? Why are they watering it again?” And then I realized it […] →Read more
