When they are good, they are very very good; but when they are bad, my days suck a bag of dicks
I had such plans for yesterday. Part of those plans involved sitting on the couch watching TV on my one day off, while doing laundry in the background… but a good portion of that couch-sitting was also going to be while I had my laptop in front of me, catching …
Poll of the Week

Jonathan Carroll on expressions. — My Parents Were Awesome roundup – Heidi looks like a movie star. Here’s Ralph, but I really like the person in back of him, who clearly has a sense of humor. I want to know what Valerie was doing with all those shoes. — Got …

QOTW – 2010/02/15
