Obama BAMAMA

Posted on 6th November 2008 by Reed

She’s back.

My God, look at the dust in here. Look at it. I can’t even see the colours of the upholstery. It’s disgusting. We’ll have to redecorate. *Whistles through teeth* Someone mentioned the old blog to me a couple of weeks … Continue reading →

She can’t come out to play. She’s doing her homework.

Posted on 9th December 2007 by Reed

Three coursework deadlines all at once. Which is mean. Nothing a coffee-fuelled all-nighter, or two, can’t solve. It’s not like I have to be coherent and speakable and at work the next morning or anything. No, wait, that was when … Continue reading →

Nothing to be done

Posted on 20th November 2007 by Reed
