Tee hee! Is it wrong to be excited about… ribbons? As a male? Am I betraying my masculinity? Well…. if anyone has a problem with it, I dare them to tell me to my face. But I’ve got ribbons! Actually, more accurately 8 ribbons and some correction film. From the USA. And not just any…
And yes, there is a missing ‘when’ from that last sentence of my rant. In other news… Tell me what is wrong with this eBay advertisement. as seen from my iPad. Yeah, I don’t think I could beat that ebay price anywhere. I think I’ll bid. I’m surprised no one else has jumped on it,…
