So now ShitBook works for me. Well, I think so… I’m still wary of how often I’m checking in, how much stuff comes dribbling down that line. My new addiction is to ruthless management of a trickle of updates, photos that I actually find I want to know. So now I browse with a twitchy, itchy trigger finger hovering over that ‘delete friend’ button, ready to cull at any moment…no pressure…

The Best T-Shirt Store is Open
T-shirts have been around for almost a hundred years, and for more than half that time they’ve been garnished with messages that reflect and project the wearer’s personal taste and identity.
