Memo to the general public: I will marry* the first man who can obtain for me a Guns 'n' Roses "Welcome To The Jungle" doormat. I'm serious. I will not die happy until I get one of these. * I have been known to renege on my promises.

No Quarter

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

When I was seventeen years old, a friend tried to get me into Led Zeppelin. At the time her reasons were more than a little bit shallow. I guess they were the primary influence of Guns and Roses (I'll take aside a few moments to laugh about this later, don't ...

Blog topic suggestions and requests noted. Results forthcoming in the immediate future. But for now ...

BLOG'd

Sunday, December 4th, 2005
