Dear God in Heaven, Oh! how I tried. I tried to grin and bear it but I just couldn't. I couldn't stand another second of it. The agony. The utter and complete lack of anything remotely humane. It was just too much...I just couldn't watch Sharknado 6. If only Kurtz knew about the Syfy Channel...he'd... Continue Reading →
I Get By With A Little Help From…

The main reason this song became the anthem for situations where the walls seem to be closing in is because of its lyrics. It's beyond ridiculous. Utterly ludicrous. And that's the...

Cabin Fever Blog#1
