Forgive me father for I will sin.

I have had a vision of a monstrosity of a desert for a long time, a very long time. And next weekend, I shall make it. The idea behind it is a gobstopper of goodness. A gobstopper, in case you don’t know, is some hard candy, a ball, that as you go through the layers, [...]

This is Hannah

Today I came home from a Saturday lunch with Ma’ to find that Hannah Montana is on the television. I suppose I could change the channel, but that requires me to think about what else to watch, and right now that is too much cognitive action for me; it’s a Saturday after all. I’ll be [...]
