Someone in Oz

Posted on October 28, 2022 by Nathan

Crafts and Cons

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Nathan

As I said last week, I’ve already written about the 2003 Oziana across two posts back when it was new, and I still agree with what I wrote. I didn’t go into much detail, though, so I’ll examine it a … Continue reading →

I Like Birds
