Massachusetts school bans tag at recessThis is so dumb. Kids can't run around and play tag any more because (gasp!) they might get hurt?

In other news, I'm going home to Augusta for the long weekend.  I'm excited to see my family.  Haven't seen half of them since before bar review, which is probably the longest I've gone without ( Read more... )

Someone I went to high school with is engaged to Katherine Heigl from Grey's Anatomy. I remember Anjali telling me that the last time she went to the dentist (Josh Kelley's dad is her dentist), he told her that they were dating. This is totally nuts! He's not someone I was friends with in high school mostly because he was in the "popular" crowd ( Read more... )

Kitty Reality TV

I kinda want to see this because I bet it's funny as hell. And, I ♥ cats. Several members of my family think I will some day be a crazy cat lady.
