Thursday Thirteen #32

26 October 2006 by kristarella

I’ve been quite bad at reading blogs lately. I have so many on my RSS reader but I can only manage to keep up with a few. I’ve decided to pick just a few that I really want to read and delete the rest of the feeds. Then hopefully I’ll be able to keep up […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
