This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

The Dark One rules the south side of the house. He believes this calamity befell us because we did not offer proper sacrifice to the old gods. He has taken the Foster as his Bride.
The British have failed us.
