And then we were murdered in our sleep

Every night before I go to bed I write “And then we were murdered in our sleep” in my journal so that there’s always an ending even if the worst happens. Victor thinks it’s a sign I need to up my medication but I’m pretty sure it’s just a sign that I’m a really considerateContinue reading “And then we were murdered in our sleep”

Happy Social Media Day!

Tomorrow is Social Media Day and to celebrate I’m going to wear a pin with Guy Kawasaki‘s face on it all day long.

This is called foreshadowing. So I ran some errands and when I parked in front of my house IContinue reading “I’m not even sure why we *have* katanas anymore”
