Sweet Wonderful You

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

A short story written circa 2001:
Anne Stevens is a stupid, stupid bitch. Well, she’s not a bitch exactly. In fact, she’s probably the nicest person I’ve ever known. People around town call her a saint.
She brings a jovial attitude, complete with shit-eating grin, to every one of her daily encounters. Her [...]

Netflix Notes Greatest Hits

Friday, July 25th, 2008
