true confessions

I love Galgalatz. I really, really do. I know it’s considered all dorky and top 40 and mainstream, but I don’t care. I even tried to stream it this autumn, but it wouldn’t work with my Mac. Galgalatz is the poppiest of the pop radio stations. They...

I knew there was going to be a catch

Picking up the visa from the consulate was wayyy too easy–I just went in there, they handed it to me, I left. Definitely displaying signs of zombie possession. But now, a few hours later, I just opened it again and noticed something that, of course, I...
