I am currently sitting in Carden's front office, and it smells like musty ( Read more... )

I love pointless summer movies.

Tyler, Bekah, Kiara, and I went to go see Wanted this afternoon, and it was great, provided you could manage to suspend your sense of disbelief for a sufficient amount of time.
