As you can probably see, the design of “Not Intent on Arriving” has changed. I’ve been working on this new design for a while now, as this blog grows and moves into its’ 6th month of existence.
You can now find it at a new url: http://www.adragna.org.
Let me know your thoughts on the new design. Any and all comments are welcome.
Attention Loyal Readers: First of all, thank you to those of you who read this blog on a regular (or semi-regular) basis. You are what motivates me to continue writing.
I’ve added some icons to the right offering you the ability to connect with me in other ways. I hope you like the icons and use them. Let me know your comments.
I’m planning some improvements and edits to the site in the coming days. I ask you to bear with me.
Thanks, Happy Holidays and to those of you who celebrate today, Merry Christmas.

“North Dakota Boys”: A very close second place
“California Dorks”
“South East Asian Girls”: This guy adds new lyrics, messes with the music and has an amazing look.
Also, are “California Gurls” and “Tik Tok” the same song? The evidence is pretty damning:
So this evening I’m making gnocchi with a beef ragu. By coincidence, I happened upon this video, which shows you exactly what not to do when making gnocchi.
I didn’t do that, don’t worry.
Note: Thanks to @branttom for pointing out the spelling error in my original title.
