Elves for Hire

February 4, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Back in the days, the term “Adult Assembly Required” didn’t even exist. Toys and games came assembled and were ready to take on countless toddlers right out of the box. Now days, not so much. In the beginning the “assembly” involved a couple screws and snaps, but has sense evolved into a ten-page-foreign-language-instruction building nightmare.

“It’s Just a Cold.” Playing the Slot Machine of Medicine.

January 22, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I planned on finding an apartment here and then start looking for a job. However, after spending a few hours in the San Telmo area looking, I realized the deals would not be that great.
