My Life Has Charge Again
I haven't actually significantly updated this thing in a long time, have I? I'm sure all of your lives have been just a little emptier because of that. I apologize.
Since my charger punked out and I had to wait a few days for the replacement to get here, I've been doing something I always say I'm going to do more of, but always get sidetracked. No, ( Read more... ) -
Tweens? Psh. College Kids Unite

More Honk than Honky Tonk
My latest review for The Post, this time of Jessica Simpson's attempt at getting back into music...I mean country. Enjoy and feel free to comment if I am going to the bowels of hell or spotted it right. Either way.http://www.thepost.ohiou.edu/Articles/Culture -
Ladies, Start Being Hysterical
Today marks the 88th anniversary of women's suffrage. It was on this day in 1920 that the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was passed into law by Congress. Nine states had already given women the right to vote, but it wasn't until this day that Congress finally decided women had brains and intellect. And rights ( Read more... )
