How I Met Your Mother

by

The last eight years, I have not been following the sitcom, How I met Your Mother, but thanks to a certain website that lets its subscribers watch reruns of shows and movies, I have been able to jump onto that part of television culture.  I like the show.  I think it’s brilliantly crafted and the way […]

Smallpools!

I am writing just to let you all know how amazing Smallpools is.  For those of you who have never heard of Smallpools, it is a band THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!  Sorry, I know that using all caps and several exclamation points makes you question my credibility and seriousness as a writer, but I can’t oversell […]
