dear alan wake,

I am enjoying playing you. You have a great story and are very scary. However, there was no reason to kill that dog, Max the lab. I am very disappointed in you. It was not necessary for the story and made me very sad. A great horror story (movie, book or game) can, if done properly, kill any charact...

let the record show

Clara posted an article on - Jan 29, 2012, 7:47 am
I realized recently that this blog serves a double purpose. Not only is it a creative outlet (when I use it); it’s also a record keeper. Jeremy and I will always disagree about when things happening. Specifically when we started dating (again) and when we got Tonks. We always forgot and it happens...

for the love of all that is holy just take a look at these dogs before you adopt/buy a goggie

Clara posted an article on - Sep 20, 2011, 11:09 pm
I stumbled upon this whole 'less adoptable' thing because I ended up with a big black dog and people started saying how great it was that I chose her since she would have been at the top of 'The List' at a shelter. I was shocked and looked into it; I've since (as I'm sure you've figured out by now) ...

baby tonks?

Clara posted an article on - Jul 9, 2011, 11:02 pm
Jeremy found this  picture on the interwebs and I am convinced it's Tonks as a puppy. The site that had it didn't know where it was from either so it is entirely possible it's a wee stray from Ohio.

For those of you who accidentally turn your hair green or blue or some variation in between, I can tell you that mixing equal parts baking soda and shampoo and leaving on your hair for 5-10 minutes actually helps. You have to use cold water to rinse it out though not all versions of this cure said t...

I can never bring myself to kick her out either. I just squeeze in there and eventually she leaves.  Need a closer look?  TONKS-HANCE!! I don't know how she manages to always look adorable and pathetic at the same time. Some sort of space time paradox I'm sure.
