I live in a neighbourhood with a lot of senior citizens, so I’m pretty used to opening my mailbox to find flyers from McInnis and Holloway about planning my own funeral so that things will go just the way I imagine. Not that I imagine my funeral much, but it’s nice to know that the […]
All the cool kids are doing it!

And so will I – a Year in Review. Yes, I know it is the sixth of January and most year in reviews have already been posted, but I was far too busy writing about people who eat toilet paper and watching When Harry Met Sally. So what happened in 2010 over at the Boy […]
Reality TV, or Signs of the Apocalypse
January 4, 2011 by
