My dearest Kinja...
My love. My muse. My sweet comfort during hours that wax long and thin. My cherubic chatterbox chirping throughout the day with the dulcet melodies of news, entertainment, and randomness.
Late night thoughts
It's 3 a.m. and I should be asleep, so of course my brain decides to remind me of a tv show instead. A tv show I saw once and now I can't remember what it was. Do you guys know?
Random Sauce
Two things. And any GTers out there, I'd especially appreciate your opinions, but I don't have posting privs over yonder. Anyhoo, onward:
