I try to live my life by the mantra that if I go into a situation without any expectations — good OR bad — then more times than not I’ll end up having a good time. (Not that I didn’t expect anything but FUN with Jen and Stacey…) This past weekend was no exception. After …

Interview with S.G. Browne. Yes, There are Zombies.
Tomorrow I will have the honor of meeting S.G.
