Today’s my first official day as Spelunking Coordinator, and I must say, it’s as bad and as good as I expected. Things are freakishly messy and disorganized, which I expected. But I’ve got an action plan to get it all under control. Now if only I knew what the heck I was talking about when … Continue reading Let the Craziness Commence

After days of hearing the hype, I just watched the Paris Hilton Carl’s Jr. commercial. Meh. For those not in the know, the commercial consists of Paris in a Bikini, washing a Bentley and chowing on a Carl’s Jr. burger of some sort. She’s a pretty girl and all, but falls far short of that … Continue reading That’s Hot
