I’m Obsessed With Pinterest! Get Me Help
Seriously. Pinterest has been the best time-waster to happen to me since Words with Friends, which I had to quit because I tweeted my screename, got 25 game requests and my app went “NAWL!” Some of you are probably like “What’s Pinterest?” It’s this website where you get to create …
It’s My Birthday! And I Come Bearing Gift!

The Foreign Name Struggle Is Real
Yesterday was my post telling parents to quit naming their kids stupidly. It turned out to be EPIC, with 300 comments on it (now: 600) and counting (record for this blog). And y’all might have made my site crash for a good hour yesterday with foolery. Folks acted UP in …
Google AdSense is a Hater And They Disabled My Account

Because we have a responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due to invalid activity, we’ve …
Dear Roach That Punked Me Last Night
I saw a roach in my apartment last night. And it punked me. So I decided to write it a sternly-worded letter. Dear Roach, You won this round. And might win the entire battle too. I’ve yet to come to terms with your presence in my crib. In fact, I …
