Sunday, August 14, 2011. August 14, 2011 : Soup to nuts. Soup to nuts" is an American English idiom conveying the meaning of "from beginning to end."

Strange Planet: August 7, 2011 : Fog Bow
http://ihatetheplanet.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-7-2011-fog-bow.html

Strange Combat: June 2012
http://ihatethewarfare.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 10, 2012. So you've certainly noticed by now that I haven't posted anything in nearly a year. That's probably because I've completely forgotten about these blogs. I should have posted a note like this earlier, but I kept putting it off. I'm no longer updating the blogs. I won't be even in the foreseeable future. I may come back to it. I may not. I did enjoy doing it for a while, but then it started to feel like a second job and drained the fun out of it. Posted by Adam Hake.
