now bite your tongue and say “apple”

On October 30, 2009 By

Remember doing that as a kid? The stupid things we did to try and get people to curse… so goofy. And it doesn’t even sound right.

a new frontier…

On May 10, 2009 By

I haven’t been blogging or commenting much lately. It’s not that I don’t love you, really. Quite the contrary.

Jim and I have been working on a new project to expand nom! nom! nom! into something more. Jim is very skilled with film and media and for a couple of years we have been […]
