She was standing in line about to order when she realized that her life was incredibly boring and that if she drank one more tall hot mocha, the same drink she ordered every morning at precisely 8:30 AM, she was going to have to shoot herself in the face. Normally she ( Read more... )

So I decided to give this new show New Amsterdam a chance, because, well, I love TV. I almost didn't watch because of all the negative hype it had been getting for unoriginality, especially in its connection to Moonlight, that horrible show on CBS about a vampire detective living in L.A. and atoning for his crimes. No, not that one. But you see how ( Read more... )

2. On February 26, every Starbucks everywhere is going to close. But don't worry, it's only for a few hours.

Just so you know, this entry is totally not what you think it's going to be about.

It is a well known fact, or at least it should be, that if you despise something that I love then we can't ever truly be friends and that I will think less of you as a human being.
