However, it’s too bad that his latest starring vehicle doesn’t even come close to the level of his acting. It is a testament, though, to … Continue reading
If you will recall, dear reader, I wrote a blog complaining that restaurants will never give me my food as spicy as I want it. That i find this a form of racism in Indian and Thai places, since they assume because I am a white girl that I can’t handle my spice. I was … Continue reading
