Crazy in the City

Earlier this year (during the winter months), I blogged about the crazy bunch of art students who took nude pictures lying in garbage in my alley way early in the morning.

To Laugh or Cry: That is the question

Thanks to my good friend over at Bug-eyed Bistro for this one – it is one of those things that are both comical and sad at the same time…

Small Hiatus

It has been a crazy time around here – trying to get as much writing done as possible to meet my February deadline. Couple that with the pending holidays and the social time that comes with it and let`s just say, I am as scattered as I can possibly be!
