The brink of extinction

Wooly mammoths have always fascinated me. It’s the convergence of my two most favorite things, elephants and dinosaurs. With a mastodon, you get two for the price of one.

Karma’s little helper

I have a nickname for myself: Karma’s Little Helper. I believe in karma. If you do bad things, bad things will happen to you. If you do good things, good things will happen.

Cycle Sluts: Life is Fabulous

Dear Cycle Sluts,

I have been a fan for years. I love your makeup, hair, outfits and you’re so funny. I would love to work with you but I don’t think I have the funny bone like you do.  What can I do to work with you guys and what is it like to be you?

The last thing you may ever read

The world is going to end in 16 days, or less, depending on when you’re reading this. Well, not really end, per se. The Mayan calendar will simply run out of days on December 21. It could be, as some believe, a prediction of the end of the world. Or it could be the Mayans lacked a bigger piece of stone on which to carve their calendar. Bless their sacrificial hearts.
