Boondock Saints II: Erin Go Braugh

Finally, months after the movie originally released to select theaters across the States, I was finally able to see Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.

Travel Tips: Packing

Now that autumn is making itself known, I'm starting to feel the effects of a summer that went by too quickly.
