Posted on June 1, 2015 by

Something Fishy

Posted on March 2, 2015 by

Smell is probably the most powerful trigger when it comes to memories. Case in point: at work, one of my co-workers heated up a meal that involved fish. I started remembering vividly my days of elementary school science. There was … Continue reading →

Once upon a time I saw a leprechaun. I was on the el, going into Center City for one reason or another. It’s neither here nor there for this story. The point is, he was there, and he was holding … Continue reading →

In Which Our Hero Reunited With Her Heroes

Posted on April 2, 2013 by

I’ve started reading comics again. I used to read them when I was still in elementary school and hung out with boys. I wasn’t trying to be, y’know, cool or anything. I just preferred video games and Legos and acting … Continue reading →

Utilisez Logique

Posted on May 15, 2012 by
