Bitch, Bitch, Bitch
So I’m having one of those days. Must be the onset of the Hot and Wet season. Man I hate that.
A Few Random Things I Miss About Australia (or Canada, I guess), Because I Chose To Come Back To Korea For More Punishment

AusThings I Don’t Miss So Much

Could be worse. I could be a dog in outer space. [/obscure injoke]
