    Alright! I’m tired and I got to work later today. Yesterday was long. And it started wrong. Photography. I’m good at the difficult one, horrible at the easy one.

    Alrighty! I’m in a good mood despite being almost broke. It’s because I’m finally being productive. On Monday I did one thing that perhaps will make me some money… and not much. Shit.

  • Pot Brownies and Vodka Pasta – Jurassic World Movie Review – Celebrity Throwback: Bryce Dallas Howard

    Monday, the middle of August and two-thirds done with the year. I wake up a little bit depressed and not sure why. It is probably my lack of productivity and the lack of desire to do anything about it. I was supposed to work on the weekend and I forgot about it. Didn’t get the…

    Day two of the street smelling like shit because the sewers are open. The shit smell filters into the apartment and into my nose. “It’s the weekend, let the shit run free!” That should be the CESPT’s slogan (the water commission). Who knows how long it will take for them to fix it. But for…
