SNL
Four Star Video was having a sale last weekend and we were there to browse anyway, so we spent an extra-long time wandering through the aisles, poking through the cases and reading all the labels.

We finally got a television. And so far, we’re disappointed. Mostly because it doesn’t play internet shows like we thought it would, but first things first: We ordered a new television from Amazon last week.

Sardine
I was up about half the night after I made the mistake of popping open a bottle of my most recent homebrew.
