...No, this is not a Dane Cook comedy sketch based off of the "Someone shat on the coats!" sketch, but rather, this is the second time, since I've lived in the dorm, that someone has been so unable to control their bodily functions and has shat in the shower ( Read more... )

Past couple of days have been a blur and will continue to be as such until Mid-November. Posting and picture-taking will be sporadic at best. Rather, there won't be much variety since I'm not going to cool parts of Tokyo ( Read more... )
