Another Year Of Archives In The “Books” [Administration]
It took me longer than did the 2001 archives, but I’ve got the 2002 group done and in their places. More than 30 entries, many of them unnecessary I’m sure. And I grew to detest the flare effect I used, … Continue reading

Mobile Cupcakes [Layla]

In Which Snow And My Net Worth Fall: Icepocalypse [Dallas]
It was just a couple weeks ago that Snowmaggedon failed to make much of an impact around here. But today we woke up to Icepocalypse and the closing of both school and my office. The city, in fact, is largely … Continue reading
Sad Little Snow/Ice-man [Dallas]
We don’t often get snow around here. When we do get some, the amount accumulated is inversely proportional to the hysteria leading up to it. Like last Sunday, reports were coming in Saturday evening and Sunday morning to expect 2-6″ … Continue reading
