Published again, radar t-shirt, Prudie snaps, work, homework, class, and booger drag…

I have been published again on onesentence.org! A friend sent me a link to this story about the Top 11 Geek T-Shirts. My favorite is the very last one: which actually lights up when you’re in the range of a wireless network! Love it, love it, love it. Another snap, snap, snap from Prudie: Hi … Read more
