Feeling grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat about your job?
Because I am!
So basically I do exciting things with contracts, i.e. I make them, print them, and mail them. Like I said, it's exciting.
It's also very well paid. No, there's no question, I get an amazing amount of money to perform a tremendously enthralling and dynamic job function. I am truly blessed.

This is the kind of song I'd write if I was really hungry
The woman looks like she's in a bit of a sugar coma herself. Maybe she cleaned out the cupboards and that's why the guy is singing about 'no mo gri-i-i-its'?

Officially a pack-rat.
Like it was ever in contention.

Books, books, too many bloody books

It's totally okay to beat your girlfriend, just don't get high. Ever.
So Michael Phelps was unfortunate enough to be in the same room as a camera and a bong. The 'uproar' (which appears to be largely the bleatings of the media) has resulted in Phelps losing numerous endorsement deals, including Kellogg's, who announced that they would not be renewing their sponsorship deal.

Cranberries cause confusion
As a fairly recent convert to the cranberry love, I sometimes pick up a container of them. At $5 a pop, it's not something I do often, but it is nice once in a while. Anyway, as I began to munch on these yummy berry treats today, it occurred to me that I had absolutely no idea how many calories were in cranberries. One of the (very few) benefits of ( Read more... )
