Me: I just now got full. My brain just finally got the message that I don’t need to eat anything else… a full hour after we finished eating dinner. That’s how long it takes.Snook: Your insides are broken.

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew HowardOr something. I had some scrap wool lying around so I decided to knit some hats on the weekend. The first I call the “Craig David Minimalist Ribbed Beanie,” so named because it tends to be worn on smooth RnB singers with tiny goatees and it’s so plain it doesn’t…
