I don’t think my computer would. Neither would my bank account, considering it would have to pay for the new computer once this one has felt the wrath of the large hammer I borrowed.

So, think of this when a telemarketer calls you. Be nice to them—even if you don’t want and, most likely, won’t purchase what they are selling. It’s their job and everyone could use a break these days. Thanks.

I love to do this! There’s just something liberating about dancing like a crazy person. It’s amazing.

MOSCOW — For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument — that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. — very seriously. Now he’s found an eager audience: Russian state...

David Sedaris is a comic genius.
I found Barrel Fever, by David Sedaris, in a discount bin at Borders the other day. So, I snatched it up. Last night we read it out loud and laughed so hard. The man is a a comic genius. Seriously, if you have never heard or read anything of his, then stop what you are doing right now and go to your nearest bookstore and look him up. For real. Do it.
I love logging on to Tumblr and seeing that things...
So, with this, I am taking the rest of the day off. See you tomorrow morning. (I work tomorrow, so I will be on most likely all day.)
(Oh yeah: I downloaded James Morrison’s new album called Songs for You, Truths for Me. It’s really good and I recommend it if you like his prior albums.)

Brita: Bad News for Tap Water
I received a Brita water pitcher for Christmas, per my request. I am so excited to stop buying water bottles in bulk and actually begin to help the planet just a little by not wasting so much plastic. Well, I am now completely won over to the Brita side. The water is amazing. It’s like drinking “velvet,” as my brother put it. I think it was a great choice of words. Brita...
My Frugal Shopping Pick of the Season
So, my best deal of the season came from Old Navy. I got some solid-colored long-sleeved v-neck t-shirts. (Whoa, that’s a ton of hyphens.) The best part of the deal: they were only $6 each. And they me fit perfectly. I am actually wearing a gray one in my thumbnail picture. So, if you like comfy, well-fitting shirts that are cheap, I recommend checking out Old Navy’s stock. ...

So Rob and I went to lunch at this indian place by our work and we were seated beside, honest to god, the most obnoxiously loud woman on the face of the planet. I am by no means a violent person (have to stick that in there, right?) but holy shit, I wanted to strangle her. Rob got out a pen and we wrote down the retarded things she was saying on a napkin so I could blog about...
