so yesterday evening i was relaxing in my room with some broccoli when i heard an altercation taking place on the street below. i didn't get up to see which house was involved, but i have a pretty good guess as you shall see. mainly, it consisted of a woman yelling at a man, informing him in no uncertain terms that he was no longer welcome in that ( Read more... )

so yeah sorry about being a total slacker in this respect. it is, as various recent events have reminded me, my family heritage.
