Sea & Sky in Magical Realism
So much for moderation. On Thursday evening I made it home right before we would have needed to head out for class, and A only beat me there by two minutes. He was still a stress case so we ma...
Think of This as a Window in Magical Realism
Not too much to write about today. I guess there is always something to write about but by that I mean I haven't done much in the past 24 hours since I last wrote. But who knows, maybe I will b...
The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway in Magical Realism
I started to write an entry yesterday, about how I've been feeling kind of discombobulated lately, but then I stayed up until 3am last night getting work done and assorted other life organization...
Snowflakes on Cobblestones in Magical Realism
