And so after some chatting, I agreed to be a test subject, giving my user feedback in exchange for a new sk gecco. I’m so excited.

Damn that’s a hot wedding party:

Breaking Dawn’s conjugal bed:

Last night I went to a dance party. It’s been really muggy and hot in Seattle all weekend, and so predictably the venue was a bit swampy.

My Pineapple Express review: I’ve adored Seth Rogan since I watched Freaks & Geeks on DVD in 2003, but Pineapple Express marks the end of my time with him, methinks. I went into the flick wanting a good stoner comedy, with…
