“List on the 3s” has run into a bit of a snag today. Yes, it’s a day with the number “3″ tucked neatly inside.Yes, there’s a list. But it’s not Shiny’s list. You see, it’s one of those weeks which, due to poor planning, consists of three lists on the 3s: the 30th, 31st and [...]

I’ve been going through a bit of a tough time lately. I’d like to think that I’m normally a happy, well-adjusted guy. Someone who can see the good in things and people and places and television shows on the CW. Someone who has a good sense of humor about things at least 99.44% of the [...]
