Buy Or Don’t Buy

If it already hasn’t, the blogosphere is going to go nuts over this. But you saw it here first!

Sorry, for the short posts. Really busy! Enjoy this!

It used to be that you could always count on Pennsylvanians to be pretty high-quality people. Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Winfield Scott Hancock, John Oates, Andrew Bryniarski, Liza Weil: credits to the Keystone State all.

What do these two images have to do with each other?

He was a pleasant enough fellow, except that he was homesick and so spent all hours of the day Skyping in Macedonian. I soon grew used to this, and learned to treat garbled Macedonian as just another ambient noise [...]

Juno: Liked, then hated for it’s cutesy and forced dialogue and character non-development and soundtrack
United States of Tara: Liked. Not extremely captivating but had character development
Cody’s red carpet choices: No.
and now we’ve got Jennifer’s Body. Check the trailer and then we’ll discuss.

I’m one of those people who is pretty logical, but with a bit of over-thinking, I lose all sensibility and resort to panic. So after reading, hearing, talking, and watching about 2012, I lost it! What if it’s true? What if the world does come to an end? OMG OMG OMG! ALERT ALERT.
Well, I’m not [...]
