The other day I had plans to attend my friend’s birthday party but had absolutely no time to go home or had any change of clothes with me.

One of my favourite blogs is called ‘Hyperbole and a Half’.  The blogger (Allie) writes about supposedly mundane occurrences in her life that she makes into hilarious cartoons.  The awful stick figure pictures accompanied by…

Video of the Day: Hey Ya

I think I speak for the masses when I say that Justin and Jeremy’s Spirit Fingers are by far the best you’ve ever seen. The twins give quite the performance and offer great homage to Outkast with their dance. Andre 3000 would be proud. The best part is that you can automatically tell that the…
