Oh my stars, have I had my lazy blogging pants on again or what? Sorry. I’ve been busy with other stuff and have been neglectful. The next few weeks are going to be spotty as I get closer and closer to several converging project deadlines (that I’ll be able to share with you guys [...]

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich

All affection words I can think of to describe how much I love this absurd & magical website just seem weak. Maybe in French… Je l’adore. There, that’s close. I have loved Magnum P.I. with steadfast devotion since his Hawaiian days right up to his cradle robbing antics on Friends. I don’t know what [...]
