    Education, from Pitas, Toys

    There is something about shelves. For some reason the ultimate design for a room to me is covered with the things.

    May 12, 2001
    from Pitas, Paper / Board Games

    Politicians are like 16 year old boys. Played Risk last night with a four 16 year olds. They made these blatently faux pacts all the while planning how to break the deal.
