Foogoogled

14 October 2006 by kristarella

Turn down the lights, turn up the iPod!

3 October 2006 by kristarella

This is the third time I’m writing a post today. I’m not writing exactly the same things but pretty close. My browser kept having seizures at work, being in a hospital I was able to make it safe until the seizures stopped but I inevitably lost my posts. The lights in the hallways at work […]

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!
