My basic uniform
Posted on April 22, 2009 | No CommentsThese days, this is what I’m wearing. P.S. Bag Smell Rehab was a success! It has toned down the leathery smell down to something more honeyed. Like honey + leather. And this is what I kind of wish I was wearing. Except I don’t own... -
The Idiot quit his job
Posted on April 22, 2009 | No CommentsThe Idiot is getting worried. (I’d change his name, but as the moniker has already stuck, so I’ll keep ‘er). Remember how I said he wanted to quit his high-paying job at $130,000 a year because he didn’t want to travel any longer? He did... -
