Darkly Dreaming Dexter

He doesn’t know it yet, but when Ras gets home, we’re watching Dexter tonight while having fajitas.  I’ve been holding off on starting this new season because it’s such a good show.  Like desserts I shouldn’t be having, I like to have a small collection built up before devouring them.  If I don’t, I get [...]

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose!
