A Cry for Help

I’ve mentioned my unwieldy financial spreedsheet before, right? Well, it just told me that I’ve spent over $50 this month at Dunkin Donuts. Whatever, that’s kind of a lot, but I accept it. And as I contemplate yet another after-work latte, I see that DD has gotten $20 from me this week alone. So now [...]

Em has a scary good memory, so when she read about that tainted pet food story last week, she immediately thought SNL. I had no idea what she was talking about until she tracked this video down:

Oh, the irony. Sad, sad, hilarious irony.

After 129 episodes, watching Colin Farrell teach Turk and JD a life lesson was the last leg of my journey to watch every episode of Scrubs. And just in time, too, because Em is returning our cable box to Mothership Cox this week.

As my pudgy physique will attest to, I’m not even close to what you might consider a health nut.

According to my spreadsheet, I’ve now seen 113 episodes of Scrubs in the last month. And after 113 episodes, I finally got to see the first one ever.
First episodes are weird to watch after you’ve been following a show for a while. I can picture the writers trying to balance introducing their characters with the [...]
