The game I bought last week is 40% off today. But the sleep I have already lost? Priceless.
Instagram just today blocked a video I posted several years ago that shows my daughter watching The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I can’t claim fair use as the clip is longer than 29 seconds. So no one gets to see it anymore. Merry Christmas from Warner Brothers!
Remembering that I left my keys at home harshed the mellow I was feeling after listening to Yacht Rock and Cool Change on the way to work. Never underestimate Little River Band.

Premium is such a truly rare thing, and the things described as premium are not rare nor unusual.
