The Snook and I were watching a TiVoed Friends episode yesterday when we suddenly recognized the location: Ross and Rachel’s drunken Las Vegas wedding was at the same chapel as ours!

DeskCam: Red alert! Yeah, I had another trip to the hairdresser yesterday…

Llook out, Llarry, it’s the llandllord!Hooee. The Llama Song is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the Internet in a long time. I don’t know what it is or where it came from, but it’s going to be making me giggle all day. GO WATCH IT! (Link courtesy of news from me.)

DietBlog: Yeah, so I stayed the same this week. I was a little bummed at first til I remembered the Una’s… and the Quizno’s… and the Chili’s… (I went to a lot of restaurants with apostrophes, I just realized.) Anyway, I figure that avoiding a gain in a week like that is probably the best…
