Does anyone ever catch Target: Women with Sarah Haskins on Current? She’s consistently annoying. I just got linked to (by this story on TimeOut Chicago’s site: Online Gambling: Sarah Haskins tries to make her own luck by Steve Heisler) one I’d forgotten about, and had to rant about it. Here, watch this shit: Personally, if [...]

pigs 1, originally uploaded by mariacaridad. Sean and I are so over filthy, deadbeat roommates. We’re doing the post-filthy, deadbeat roommate cleanup this weekend. Pro-tip: do not live with filthy deadbeats! Even if they are (ostensibly) your friend, and they’re suddenly desperate for a place to stay. You will hate your life. Definitely don’t do [...]

When did the internet turn into a combination of a bad self-help book, an infomercial, a get-rich-quick-scheme? It all leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. I don’t want to hear from self-proclaimed, critically-acclaimed, experts in expertise about positive affirmations, efficiency tips, monetization techniques, optimization approaches, best practices, self esteem, keyword research, passive income, active [...]

Why does this question ever have to be asked? Apparently, the answer is any day from tomorrow until Tuesday. And there are specific hours, too. WTF, Americans. Is tomorrow the 31st? No, no it isn’t. I’ll have you know that only one of those days is the 31st. And who goes trick-or-treating before dark, if [...]

Here is some information about your Blogger account: your user name is not Candice. I know this because my user name is Candice.

If I don’t complain about this now, I’m going to explode. I don’t know why I am so irritated, but every time I hear this commercial on the radio, I get increasingly more hateful towards the universe. It’s the one where some girl answers the phone only to realize that a friend of hers has [...]
