Posted on September 25, 2011 by Cora

I have accidentally found out that Sichuan pepper, which has some mouth numbing qualities, is a lot more effective in getting rid of the pain associated with aphthous ulcers than the special tincture I normally use. This is worth remembering, … Continue reading →

A real life vampire, the resurrection of the gothic and two great artists remembered

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Cora

I’m not feeling too hot today. It’s either the weather or there was something wonky about the Tofu burger or the dusty bottle of African style ketchup I had with it last night. My latest e-book still isn’t up at … Continue reading →

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Cora

Humans are awesome

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Cora
