I still feel like I need a vacation from my holidays. My jaw still aches and tongue hurts from all the comments I had to hold back while visiting the folks. I could go into just how… scripted our holidays...
Hm… yeah. So how’s everyone else’s “holiday week” going? Today’s poll in Express was asking if people are getting any work done during these days, and since most people I chat with get this week off standard anyway, I’d have...
I blame my father. He bought two high-definition tv’s for their house, refurbished, but still very good sets, and the Blu-ray discussion came up. I’ve always been fairly non-stressed about upgrading my DVD player, even after conversations with friends and...

Move over Tonic, I may be a CommonWealth breakfast/brunch boy now. After going for the first time this past Thanksgiving, I knew I wanted to try more of their stuff. Kyle suggested we hit it for brunch and I was...
