No, seriously, you can take down the joke site now.

Some­times, things stay in the bin in PayPer­Post for months and months and nobody takes them.
Often it’s not hard to fig­ure out why.

Oh, you beauty.

I do love the artsy Thread­less shirts so.

Nose to nose

It’s not a very flat­ter­ing pic­ture of either of us (I was play­ing with some turquoise eye­shadow before wash­ing up for bed, and he needs a good comb­ing) but the Web­cam caught Zach and me touch­ing noses and I thought it was cute.

I thought “Ugly Betty” was mak­ing this stuff up. I would, of course, totally try it. If I had a tank­ful of these instead of silly old use­less trop­i­cal fish, I could finally put my pets to work.
The COOLEST photo came over AP with this story on Mon­day; I saw it at work but most

On the rise

Yes, along with every­one else I know, I’m addicted to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. I went and bought it on iTunes and it lives in my com­puter now. I even have mp3s of the songs so..um, cer­tainly not so I can sing along in the car. No, not me.

I fired up Gallery Remote, and got this mes­sage.
“Okay, then,” I said. “New ver­sion would be nice. I’ll down­load it.” I clicked the down­load URL, which led to…

Flashback

Look. It’s my entire under­grad­u­ate degree summed up very ele­gantly. 
I might have learned how to write rather well, but I think I picked most of that in AP Eng­lish.  
I was a dou­ble major in French and Eng­lish lit­er­a­ture.  I’m still not entirely sure I learned how to do any­thing that I didn’t already know when
