I am hopelessly hooked to Big Brother, I think this season has been interesting! If you ask me, Jeff should put up Jesse and Natalie up for eviction, and that will break that alliance. But no one is asking me…I...
I had a feeling postings would get quite scant come August. There have been many stories and moments and musings left unwritten about lately. With family in town and my brother's wedding a week and a half away, it's been...
