Why we bought the Louis CK special

December 15, 2011

Yesterday, we bought the Louis CK experiment stand-up special and watched it. This is not from his special, but it’s pretty much his style. I’ve been curious about it for several reasons: 1.  I’ve been hearing A LOT about Louis CK lately. 2.  As a super-amateur comedienne and satirist, I am interested in how professional comedians make people laugh and what kinds of humor people respond to, both spoken and written.    I’ve been to two live shows: lucky enough ...

Where is the line between Laziness and Sloth? Because I think I’ve crossed it with two words: online groceries.

December 6, 2011

What is Peapod? A service where you can order groceries online without leaving the house. You’ll be happy to know that, since I have a coupon for the first delivery, it is not costing me any more than an actual trip to the grocery store.  Actually, it’s costing me about $20 less than my usual grocery trip, because for some reason, when you’re not impulse-browsing the store, you tend to order much less.

My first world problems

September 7, 2011

The Free Dignity Blog Giveaway!

August 31, 2011

Hi!  I’m a blogger and I used to be really cool and funny and as a result, I got TONS of traffic.  And, OMG advertisers started e-mailing me, too, which makes me feel really important.  So instead of writing the smart, moving, and beautifully-written content that I got noticed for, I am whoring myself out for a $20 Steak n’ Shake Maker, $100 Knife, or a book that I could have potentially bought by foregoing my weekly latte.  And I ...
