Day 20: Favorite couple played for laughs

I don't very often go for the comedic couples - epic and passionate is my cup of tea.

WAT.

They DID NOT just... Man, I hope that's not shark I smell.

(No one hour finale, though? Booooooo.)

Pulling an eleven-hour workday yesterday wasn't so bad. Today? DAMN. I keep looking at the clock, but I still have 3 1/2 hours to go. Been here for almost a full workday already. Some days just creep by like frozen molasses ( Read more... )
