I used to love New Year’s Resolutions, or rather, the idea of them. My longest running streak is most likely somewhere around about 9 days or so. I don’t expect this year to be largely different, because when you try to change […]
This morning I was looking through my “On This Day” section of Facebook, where you are able to peek back through the years at some posts. I’m not sure what algorithm is used to determine what posts show, but there is a […]
For a change of pace, I decided to show Phoebe the (in my mind) classic Arachnophobia. I couldn’t believe she had never seen it before. Now, while writing this post, I realized the movie is from 1990. She wasn’t born for another seventeen years. Shit. You. Not. […]
