I’m generally a mild mannered gal. But when someone starts spreading ignorance (my #1 pet peeve), I get a little het up.
Okay, I’m lying. I’m not mild-mannered at all. I will fucking CUT you for much less than this. And the below Facebook exchange is pretty par for the course for me. Enjoy!
Actually, she’s right [...]
Senor is sick and Atlanta is blanketed with snow this V-Day weekend. (And to think, he was going to take me on a helicopter ride!) So… I thought I would share Found Footage Fest.
This week the site, which basically points you to old and insane footage from around the web, is celebrating bizarre dating videos [...]

My gin & tonic, which [...]
Some charities in Houston this year, including the Salvation Army, checked immigration status before deigning to hand out toys to needy children. Just like Jesus would have wanted.
Now your anti-human trafficking campaign makes sense, Salvation Army. You’re not trying to prevent the transport of human beings for sex or labor across national boundaries, you’re trying [...]
I made that statistic up, but it sounds good, doesn’t it? Still, check this:
In Venezuela, Criminals Use Facebook to Research Targets
After reading that article, I immediately ran to Facebook to delete any pictures that might show that my in-laws in Venezuela have valuables. The only picture I ended up deleting? A picture of their stereo.

Welcome to Part 5 of the Atlanta Local Gift Guide! This one is all about my favorite past time – reading.
