Toolbag Wednesday #23: The Hills (sans LC)

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I need an intervention. A Hills intervention. Someone (preferably Dr. Drew) please pry the remote from my fingers and change the channel to…to….
See, that’s just it. There’s absolutely nothing on the TV on Tuesday night. MTV got wise to it and [...]

Certain Certainties

Friday, September 25th, 2009

I had tea with a friend of mine recently, over which she relayed how she’d broken up with her boyfriend of four years. She wanted to commiserate, to rejoice, to make plans, to breathe some fresh air.
