ISO Some Perfect Things

Ilinap · March 23, 2016 ·

I'm straying from my political rants and activism for a moment. I have some pressing issues that are much more superficial in nature. Hey, I'm human. This humanity innately makes me a hypocrite too. I grapple with my own shortcomings and hypocrisy. How am I going to save the … [Read more...] about ISO Some Perfect Things

Ilinap · March 16, 2015 ·

Spring has sprung...finally. Never mind the weather forecast that has us back in the fifties later this week. Even at a mild 74 today I'm a tish chilly.

Give Me the Boot

Ilinap · September 19, 2011 ·

Confession: I am a boot whore. I have no sense of footwear monogamy. I am not loyal to a single pair. I am a polygamous boot whore. I don't play favorites, which I suppose is the glass half full way to look at things. I'm also not partial to a particular color. My boots would … [Read more...] about Give Me the Boot
