So, by now probably everyone's seen the Buffy episode titles game. I managed to get 139 with 8 minutes to spare, and not surprisingly, season 3 was the hardest one to name.

Ugh, my feet hurt like a painful hurty thing today. I went to DSW to return a pair of shoes (because they hurt my feet), and came home with three new pairs of shoes - one of which (the ones currently on my feet) hurt more than the ones I returned. I swear to God, the women's shoe industry has ceased to make footwear and is now deliberately ( Read more... )
