For my Live Off Groupon contest entry, I went to Zing Pizza last night to interview someone who worked there. My plan was to get some good video clips and redeem a Groupon for some great pizza. I got that and actually quite a bit more ( Read more... )

At one time, your father gave you a straight razor and a leather strap and you had everything you needed to shave for the rest of your life. Now you need to slather some radioactive blue goo all over your face and shave with a six-bladed monstrocity that will cost seven thousand dollars and last for three shaves before it stops cutting the hair ( Read more... )

So, I tend to write epic journal entries to begin with, and this is about an entire month, meaning this is going to be incredibly long. So I’m going to split it up into parts. Not that anyone even reads this anyway, so it doesn’t really matter how long I make it.

I’m sitting at my desk, listening to a co-worker tell the most boring stories in the entire world. It would be bad enough if he were just telling a story about a friend’s wedding, but it’s actually worse. He’s telling a story about driving to a friend’s wedding.
