8-Year Blogiversary + Random Search Terms Answered
Happy 8-year blogiversary to my li’l ol’ blog! Eight years seems so long ago and yet at the same time it feels like I’ve been blogging even longer . . . just not much recently. XD Still, 350 posts (351 now!) isn’t bad. Anyway, I had plans to do something fun/exciting for this but haven’t […]

Happy Independence Day to fellow inhabitants of the U.S., and a happy Sunday to international friends. They say […]

Final (For Now!) Story Episode!
