Satisfaction

It’s such a sexy word. Satisfaction. Dunno why, just is. Maybe it has something to do with the Rolling Stones song…

Assassin

The game. You know. If you don’t google it. Anyway, we were having a game in college this week, and I didn’t even get a chance to try for my target. I had come up with a plan, but then a colleague asked me if I could cover a class of his from 2-6pm. And [...]

I Got Polled
