You know you need to get some sleep...
Posted by Vio... when leaving your parent's house you point your car keys to the door and expect it to open.
Dude, really.
Posted by VioDear God,
I'm dazzled with all your prodigal Marketeer sons who managed to convince the world that everything tastes better with random dehydrated fruits.

Adele's '25' or Heartbreak-to-go

In 10 days I'll be at Adele's concert in Lisbon. Since years, I wanted to see her live and now I was lucky enough to get golden circle tickets. I know her previous albums quite well but hadn't yet heard '25'. So today, I happily decided to listen to it to learn the songs.

.....Waaaaa?
