It’s so fucking boring

Follow the money

Untraceable I say do it

It’s because they are so preoccupied with transsiberian Railway

I spent a couple of weeks trying to write in helvetica and it definitely improved. — used worksheets

Not a seatbelt in sight

I’ve never heard of him — gotta look him up.
