I managed the whole setup during my lunch break on Monday, […]

Starting July 1st, my state has a new hands-free driving law thing going into effect. (So many jokes about driving with your knees, so many.

It turns out I managed to reblog an almost identical gifset on tumblr twice in the last couple days, which I would feel bad about except I am still laughing every time I see it. *The gifset *The youtube clip from JLU “I have no idea who this is” can now take its place in […]

I went looking for a different fic, found this one, couldn’t resist re-reading it at 8 am on a Monday morning. Nothing like reading about winter Solstice in Vermont when it’s just past summer Solstice in New Hampshire! “We aren’t a team like you two aren’t dating,” she says, glancing between Eames and Arthur. “Just […]
