Daydream Believer

Tonight, Dr. Kent Hovind is giving a presentation my school, and many in my department are up in arms about whether to go or not.  I’ll not be attending, because seriously, I don’t think I could stomach it.

Thought I would post a little update about the lovely weekend I just had.  Grant was in town for 5 days, Thursday to Tuesday morning, and we had a blast!  Mostly just chilled and hung out.  He met a lot of my friends here and saw some of my favorite bars and restaurants.  We ate [...]

As I hit my bookmark for Daydream Believer, I thought I seriously might die if the site was still down.  Fortunately for me, Mark has come through yet again to save my sanity just in the nick of time.  You know how they say you don’t know how much you like or need something until [...]
