bruises and cocaine.
i went skeet shooting with my brother yesterday. hit 7 targets the first round, 4 the second. terrible, but not bad for my first time. now i have a giant bruise on my arm.
ryan gosling is mesmerizing. and i’m not talking about the notebook. he plays a basehead middle school teacher in half nelson. worth watching on netflix if you’re into indie films.
