Nobody is posting about Lord Yupa tonight. So here's a tweet about LORD YUPA and his outstanding swordsmanship.

Fox is playing Animal Crossing a bit - and he was in the flower field doing the crying action - he said he was watering the flowers w/ his tears.

In other news, went to a coffee shop for the 2nd time in a year.

At a middle school track meet. This is tweeting the way tweets were originally meant to be tweeted by the tweet framers.
