A MySpace Christmas Carol

Media Overload

BOOKS: I love the Free Library of Philadelphia.  Really.  I love it.  I can't understand why more people don't take advantage of all it has to offer. Anyway, I went to the City Institu...

My New Interest

My favorite thing to do at work lately (oh, you know, instead of actually working) is to look up pictures of dogs wearing hats. I love it.  They are so mad.  I really want a dog even though...
