Things that happen when you stay home on a Friday and clean your desk: You find your Apple Care box, which confirms what you’ve suspected. You really did extend your warranty on your iphone.

Amazon is the WORST! I say this from the perspective of running an ebook vendor account. Trying to get someone to answer your question through Vendor Central is next to impossible. And then when you try to email someone directly, they smack you down and say “use Vendor Central!” It’s a never ending circle of frustration and hatred. And it’s not like it’s an uploading...

VERY SENSITIVE/LITERARY INDIE BRO WHO WRITES SONGS THAT SOUND LIKE A “LOOSE PILE OF GAUZE” AND “GENERALLY SINGS AS IF HE’S AFRAID HE MIGHT BRUISE A WORD BY ARTICULATING IT.” HE WAS CONFINED TO A REMOTE CABIN BY THE WISCONSIN STATE GOVERNMENT BUT LATER RECEIVED A PARDON FROM SCOTT WALKER. YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO BEYONCÉ INSTEAD
I won the cassette single of Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner during the summer reading program at my library in 1991. I was 6 years old and thought it was the ultimate prize. Still have it, tucked away in a knick knack box with my Little Mermaid calculator.

Those who don’t remember FNL are doomed to repeat it.
I like Allison Janney cast as the mom but I’m not so sure about Tony Shalhoub.
omg I’m in love with the new Thursday night/silent film NBC commercial. They used drunk Ron Swanson to perfection!

Sweet Briar represent!
Again, the ladies of Sweet Briar prove their superiority at creating such a fire storm about (fill in the blank) that the administration is forced to respond. With a letter. That you have to download instead of reading on the SBC website. As a Word document. I repeat- as a Word document. Ok, maybe all that animosity is deserved.
Oh, and stop messing with our traditions, Jo Ellen! Don’t make...
