One thing I’m learning to enjoy about Twitter is the ability to follow real life celebs as they tweet the day away. For some, the feeds humanize them, turning stars into real people to a certain degree. For others, they just come off ass obnoxious and fake (like me!!). And then there’s Martha Stewart. Almost …
I have at last given in to the vast cyber world that is Twitter. I’d resisted  for no real reason â€â€Ã‚ for the past two years, but finally, enough was enough. I set up a Twitter account for me/this blog, and now I’m up and running! I plan to update frequently; so be sure to …

When Schadenfreude Runs Wild.Pic courtesy of LAist Last night here in LA, a Bentley with Illinois plates led police on a chase that lasted over three hours, ultimately climaxing with a two hour standoff just north of Universal Studios. Early reports indicated that the event was spurred by a possible assault with a deadly weapon …

Well, I have finally sacrificed ten Facebook friends in pursuit of a free Angry Whopper from Burger King. You’ve all seen who I’ve cut. Now it’s time to reveal the final piece of the puzzle. Who could be more deserving of a sacrifice than Sherayay? The answer after the jump…
