Well, now that I've written at length on TC about how I consider online videos an unpleasant medium, this is the perfect time to share some!

This year's Lazy Sunday might be this SNL bit with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samburg. NSFW.

Grievances

I haven't written about my life in this blog for a while because I haven't liked to think about the state of my life. Things could always be worse, but I still don't feel much optimism these days. - We're being pinched by the economy. Go »
