Baseball Wrap-Up

I Heart NKOTB

OMG.  After 15 yrs, the NKOTB hotties still managed to sell out Madison Square Garden!  Amazing, huh? And what was even better was that the opening acts were Lady Gaga followed by the amazing Natasha Bedingfield, who sounds great live!

SYD via SFO

It seems that whenever I have A LOT of stuff to talk about I shut down and find it all too overwhelming, choosing to indulge in the latest financial crisis or Palin ridicule. But that is the easy way out, especially with the latter. Jesus, do people really believe in her? I find that scary, [...]
