16 September 2007 by kristarella

Oh my goodness! Last night was both excellent and awful, not in that order.

Ear buds don’t fit!

4 September 2007 by kristarella

I suspect a lot of people find that earbuds, or earphones, or headphones, whatever you want to call them, don’t fit properly or they just hurt. Some people have small ears (I thought this was my problem for a while) and the buds are just too big. Perhaps it’s just the hard plastic sitting in […]

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!
