Cat’s Cradle
Hello, bloglings! Sir Buffalo Sushi here. We’ll I’m in Atlanta right now, and this is a post I set to go today. We should get back tomorrow. Anyway, I learned how to do “Cat’s Cradle” about a month or two ago. It’s very fun. All it is, is a big loop of string that you [...]
Squirmy little wormy

(Because, you know, writers have such easy lives, what with the bon bon eating and Oprah watching in between thumb twiddling sessions.) I’ve got two possible [...]
First day for a lot of things
Since we all enjoyed my “Last day for a lot of things” post a couple days ago (What? I was the only one who enjoyed it? Hello? Is this mic on?), I thought it only right we enjoy a “First day for a lot of things” post. First day the kids have “summer break.” Which [...]
