My first real exposure to Madonna took place when I was around 13 or 14. The Immaculate Collection was playing in my cousin's car, and the catchy hooks of those classic tunes intrigued me right away. "Who's that girl?" I asked. "Madonna." She remarked. It wasn't long before I saved enough pocket money to get my own copy of the same album on ( Read more... )

It's a sad state of affairs when the only b'day cards you receive in the mailbox are from your recruiter and your mortgage broker. I'm probably not the only one.

Eating condensed milk out of the container is truly divine. Simple pleasures.

I've been weaning myself off Facebook for a couple of weeks now. It's really not as hard as I thought it'd be. There are occasional pangs of FOMO but they come and go. The key is to occupy my time with other things, other than the incessant refreshing of my newsfeed. I wonder if "out of sight, out of mind" applies on FB? Which is really what we use ( Read more... )
