My Ninja Army

My Ninja Army

I have a new “zone-out” activity. I crank my iPod and play Pirates vs. Ninjas on Facebook. It’s a simple virtual dice game, on which you wager a specific amount of “gold” per play.

My Free Will Astrology

I like to read the Free Will Astrology reports. I have to post this week’s forecast because of the Halloween costume suggestions.
