Ήρθε ο καιρός για μη βουδιστικό στρώμα, και ο καιρός για κάλυψη μαύρων κύκλων με κονσίλερ. Επίσης οι χάρτες, σαν κόνσεπτ, είναι πολύ ενδιαφέροντες.

Καλησπέρα σας, έχετε ακούσει για την Κυρία και Σωτήρα μας, Μαρίνα Σάττι; Προσευχόμαστε στο όνομά της κάθε Σάββατο απόγευμα στον Ιερό Ναό της Παναγίας της Γιουροβιζιονούσας, και η λειτουργία είναι ανοιχτή σε όλους τους πιστούς. Σε άλλα νέα, κάνω ανακοινώσεις για το μέλλον του six thousand islands. Όπως είπε ο Ράνταλ Σαύρας στον Μάικ Βαζόφσκι: ''τ'ακ…

Μιλάω για τρίχες, και μιλάω για μαλλιά. Αναλόγως πώς το βλέπεις, αυτά είναι δύο διαφορετικά πράγματα. Σε άλλα νέα, ακόμα περιμένω το βραβείο της καλύτερης γκαρνταρόμπας στον πλανήτη. Ειδικά τώρα που απεβίωσε η Iris Apfel, (R.I.P) είμαι αυτόματα η heir apparent αυτού του τίτλου. Νάμαστε. TRANSCRIPT: • here: https://www.patreon.com/sixthousandislands…

Καμία αίσθηση του μέτρου σε έναν απο τους πιο γεμάτους μήνες όλης της ενήλικες ζωής μου. Τι εννοείς ότι δε μπορώ να κάνω ΤΑ ΠΑΝΤΑ όταν η μέρα μου είναι ήδη ασφυκτικά γεμάτη; Η λέξη 'προτεραιότητα' δεν υπάρχει στο λεξικό μου, και για να είμαι ειλικρινής, έτσι που τη βλέπω δε μου φαίνεται ιδιαίτερα συμπαθητική.

Νέες φιλίες γεννιούνται και παλιές φιλίες πεθαίνουν καθώς βλέπω Poor Things και Devil Wears Prada.

Μελλοντικά κανονίσματα φίλων και μελλοντικά πλάνα για τη διακόσμηση σπιτιού προσπαθώντας να αποφύγω το παράδοξο της επιλογής.

Στα γενέθλια το στομάχι γίνεται botomless pit, το τυροκομείο της γειτονιάς περιμένει τα λεφτά μου και η ντουλάπα μου ζητάει ένα μονοχρωματικό φρεσκάρισμα.
