After this week’s developments (looks like my Dad might have a job opportunity!), I finally got around to carving my pumpkin last night- the pumpkin that my deer-hunting, Republican, Palin-loving Uncle gave me from his garden. I can’t wait to send him an email with this picture attached! MOO-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA!!! Also, thanks to Emo [...]

Valuable stuff, really. Today, my wikiHow (it’s exactly how it sounds: wikipedia, but a “how-to” version) included this gem of worldly knowledge: [...]
Today, I experienced something so foul, so unholy, that I had to decry its facade of tastiness and expose its stealth-like toolbaggery for what it is. Today, I ate salt and vinegar potato chips for the first time. Boo. Hiss.
