- the chamber, probably the dumbest show i’ve ever seen, although it was immensly unintentionally funny and amusing for the first 10 minutes. this is a show where they strap someone into a chair, put them in a chamber, and blast them with flames, wind, vibrations, intense heat and cold, cut the oxygen supply, and spin them around, all the while asking them trivia questions.
- pasta puttanesca; cuz hos gotta eat too.
- i stopped shaving every day. every other day is good enough. just because
