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…
What They Wore
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…
