I just did photography in a provincial capital of Argentina for one week. Lovely city, incredible atmosphere. I befriended a bunch of people thanks in part to my buddy who's a policeman.
Also almost got killed by an undertaker.

Most importantly I banged two sisters and fell in love with one of them. Although I was warned they were the devil, a statement on which I have no settled opinion.

Mob psycho is kinda cringe. That being said, I’d relish the opportunity to slip off Mob’s shoes and socks and feel with my hands the silken softness of his bare feet, drinking in the sight of his blushing face; his gaze averted, his toes curled. I’d begin to massage his sensitive feet, provoking gasps and spasms at every touch. Tenderly caring for what most would consider the least remarkable feature of this boy who has never received anything resembling this kind of attention from anyone. With each touch painting waves of new sensations and feelings over his shivering body and quaking soul.

I am the leader of an acadian partisan militia resisting Anglo occupation in the mid 18th century. My people have cultivated and inhabited Acadie for 100 years. The Anglo menace and his merchants are trying to steal the fertile land we worked to reclaim from the sea, they exploit our labor and our farms. Things have escalated to widespread violence. In between scalping Anglo soldiers we hide out in our camps in the forest to avoid the mass exile that has been occurring for the past 3 years. Our women and children are starving to death. I have been shot in the foot. Our militant priest spiritual leader has been captured and tortured before being sent back to France. The 7 years war has begun and we are traveling to the plains of abraham to fight the Anglo menace with our french brothers.
