One Year Later
Today is my one year co-op anniversary. I want to get all choked up and reflective over the rapid passing of time, but it kind of does feel like it’s been a year. The gung-ho-ness […]
Star Gazing
Behind Closed Doors
Kevin fucking Rahm in a split-second appearance on Bates Motel! Thankfully, there will more where this came from now that I’ve conceded that this is an ok show even though I only started watching it […]
