You’ve heard Carl Orff’s “O Fortuna” from Carmina Burana dozens, if not hundreds, of times, but you can never seem to figure out what the hell they’re singing. Well, ask no more!
Er…ahem…well, maybe this is more likely:
You know that Latin…it’s all Greek to most people anyway.
The BBC reports that the British department store Selfridge’s will officially roll out its Christmas shopping season this year on AUGUST 2. But American retail chain Toys R Us has them beat with a “Christmas In July” sale that runs this week. (although, as far as I can tell, that’s just a sale and not [...]
On Friday, I decided to stop having Facebook scrape and post my blog feed. I just don’t feel like blog posts fit the very ephemeral vibe of FB, and, frankly, it irritates the living crap out of me when people post comments about the blog posts on FB instead of posting them here. I am [...]
