Mundane participation for the tragically bored.

it's a prize wheel - like wheel of fortune - where the prizes are gift certificates for meat

(once upon a time - 3 years ago - it was actual meat )

I had this hat on



with this scarf

it had to be quite the vision

I'll huff and puff and send that snow to you.

I'm good to wait til February or March.
