People say not to judge a book by its cover, and I happen to think that those people are wrong. Now I’ll tell you why. We’ll start with some Zane. Zane is a really popular author. We can’t keep her books on the shelf at the library, and we can’t buy enough replacement copies for…

The wonderful world of the interwebs includes a blog called “What I Wore.” If you haven’t already guessed, it’s a visual account of what one woman wears every day. It might sound like a drag to you, but I like it. The woman in question seems like somebody you could actually hang out with, not…
