Sleeping it Off
By Jaycie Cash I have a new favorite excuse for being terminally uncool: I can’t remain awake long enough to stay up on things. Just the other night I got home too late to watch the Project Runway finale for Season 13. Since I’m too cheap to pay for a DVR, recording it wasn’t an… Read More

To the Victor Goes What Exactly?
