Could I Be a Facebook Fatality?

There are many good things about Facebook, this new social networking tool that is all the rage, when it comes to getting in touch with long lost friends and being cutesy flirty through out your day, instead of actually going outside and talking to people.

Artist Spotlight: Jacquie Phelan

My latest experiment in fighting colds has failed. Badly. But does anyone really want to know about this, no. But I’ve been holed up in Miguel’s apartment condo trying to reach a normal temperature again. I’m almost there. Miguel’s sick, too. The saddest part in recovery, however, is knowing that soon I must bid farewell to my [...]
