Once Upon a Djinn. Monday, June 29, 2015. Hey all. Today I'm going to talk about advertising again. Why?

Once Upon a Djinn. Friday, January 30, 2015. True Crime Friday - This Just In. Yesterday, police in San Francisco responded to a report of a supposedly suspicious package left on the sidewalk. Okay, I'm not sure what exactly was suspicious about a suitcase left next to the garbage, but that's the world we live in. (I left a suitcase next to my garbage before we moved because it was broken and covered in cat hair.). Anyway, when responders opened the suitcase, it was filled with people parts. Today's Wick...
