Rey hadn't even known that the TV could play music on its channels until she found it by accident, and then she couldn't seem to change the channel anymore. She tried replacing the batteries in the remote, and then when that didn't work she tried working on the TV itself. But even when she turned it off the music kept playing ( Read more... )

Tip wasn't much into Christmas, as a general rule. She used to be. She used to love the holiday.

However, there was a big finale tonight in which a certain bachelor had totally screwed himself over and now had to get out of it, and it just so happened to be on tonight. And she also just so happened to have ordered a pizza to share ( Read more... )

Gwen was having one of those days where she didn't feel like doing anything. Blame the squirrels for waking her up so damn early on the weekend. So even in the afternoon she was still in her pajamas and bunny slippers, her hair in a messy bun on top of her head, sitting on the sofa with a bowl of cereal. And just when she'd been ready to mentally ( Read more... )
