  Considering I (and every other Cubs fan) have been waiting for this all year, I feel it deserves it's own post. Alfonso Soriano FINALLY HIT A HOME RUN!!!

  Tags: Politics, Social Issues, Pop Culture, World Religions, First Person, Sex

  Well, (see posting below) Globespan wasn't as bad for me as it could have been. We did not crash. Our plane departed only an hour late, because too few stewards and stewardesses bothered showing up for work (no kidding, we were waiting for replacements to drop in so we could finally leave Glasgow). The food in Globespan's business class and the

  It looks simple at first glance, but Christian Louboutin’s Satin Clutch is no wallflower. This elegant purse is constructed of smooth, sultry satin that’s twisted decadently in the center. The result is a delicate swirl that acts as a focal point for the purse’s flap and transforms it from basic to bold. You can’t go [...]
