Go Shiina, Go!

susumuLast week, another Web site put up an article about my favorite video game music composer, Go Shiina. But what caught my eye was a comment posted under the article from one of my good online friends. He said in his comment that the other site should’ve paid me to write about Go Shiina because I would’ve done a really good job, too. So I decided to write about Go Shiina anyway.

Cary’s Koopa Kid Day Care

iggyBig news, folks! I own my very own day care center now. I’m taking care of eight kids! But they’re all from the same family!
