Such a little lady

nobody@vox.com(Armchair News) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:27:48 -0400

Am I the only one who thinks my dog's legs, crossed daintily in the back as she gnaws on a rawhide chew up front, are the most adorable/funniest things in the world? Probably. They won't make it on Cute Overload, I'm sure, but they're just darl...

Reason No. 4298b that I love New York: Went to see Shakespeare in the Park tonight at the Delacorte; the theater for those who don't know, is in the middle of Central Park. Tickets are free, you just have to line up for a long time -- or get inv...

Review: The Great Cupcake Pan

nobody@vox.com(Armchair News) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:31:17 -0400
