Open Discussion Thread: Did You Make Out on Black Friday?

I don’t know about you, but the idea of waking up at 5AM on the day after Thanksgiving just to take advantage of sales doesn’t sound appealing to me. Not. One. Bit.

AdSense Makes None

I’m asking you to bear with me as I work to tweak the Google AdSense ads appearing on the site. There are some that I’ve seen promoting weight loss drugs and plans which I want nothing to do with. I don’t want them here.

So, updating the blog has been lower on my list (it definitely falls somewhere after “survival” on my list).

Polyvore Set: Election Night - $150,000 Wardrobe?

I woke up at 6:30AM and rolled to the local high school in my green hoodie, torn jeans and ghetto gold earrings in order to cast my ballot. Unlike me, I am certain you voted in style.
