  • Pornographic food post (updated) Sometimes people post photos of odd things--their shower accessories, the contents of their purses, their fridge. I am so intrigued by these posts. Like, it's the most interestin…

  • This morning I woke up from a crazy dream about people driving hot-rods around town while made up in very realistic Devil makeup. Like, they truly looked like they were red-skinned w/ black horns growing out of their…

  • Jason Bourne Goes to White CastleYou know, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle was supreme. YES, it was goofy, but it was straight-forward about its goofiness. On the other hand, I fell asleep during more than one of t…

  • Everyone has the right to be wrong. As long as they aren't putting you in harm's way, or destroying your business reputation, or whatever. You know. Opinion-wise. Everyone has the right to cling tightly to their wr…
