I’m trying to win an iPad 2 in the iSave, iWrite, iPad competition from PlayPennies.com!
When I was a manager at Domino’s Pizza, I ate fast food every single time I worked. After a while it was just the convenience of it, as well as the 50% staff discount and the little buzz you’d get as you had extremely fatty, sugary food.
But even at half price, it was expensive. I used to pay...

They’ve heard of .com, .net, .org, .edu, and .gov, and they can handle it when you through a common country code TLD at them like .co.jp, .co.uk or .ca, but .tv seems crazy.

This aired during an episode during of Family Guy in Canada, but was censored in the American broadcase. This footage is near two years old, but I’ve never even heard ANY mention of it.
Strange.

The Show is a British drama/comedy that follows the lives and ambitions of a church choir and its members. Throughout the series Blink182 songs and other popular punk songs like “Swing, Swing” by The All-American Rejects are featured and sung as solos and by the choir. It’s a really interesting contempt.

I thought it might be fitting to use some of this music for a more up-beat, party mixtape. I hope your able to find a gem or two that suits your taste. Enjoy & please reblog.

Reoccurring Dream
yourdp:
The sad and frightening dream of loosing my hair happened again. But after doing a quick online dream analysis apparently I feel my identity has been compromised, in a negative state of mind, possibly depressed and overcome by feeling helpless.
“Recurring Dream”
“The sad and frightening dream of losing my hair happened again.”
Finally tonight sees the launch of my new side project: TumBlock.
Go criticise it and stuff.
I’m now accepting submissions from ordinary people. Yes, if you spot a mistake on the tumblrs you can now let me know. There’s even the possibility that I’ll use it on the site.
Oh, and you may be seeing this if you use the form to e-mail me. One day this will be the ‘Thank You’ page so whatevs.
My deepest apologies to yourmonkeycalled with regard to this post.
The whole aim of this blog is to improve spelling and grammar and, since none of us are perfect, part of this effort means that I must be educated during this process as well.
In case you’re wondering, possessive ‘its’ contains no apostrophe, unlike normal possessive words. I never knew this before now.
allude vs. elude vs. illude
grammarnazi:
allude = to refer indirectly; He alluded to his past as a spy. elude = avoid capture; The fugitive eluded the police for a month. illude = mislead; He illuded her about his age. (source)
I had never heard of the word ‘illude’ before. Much thanks.

If this is the case, then why are you sad and upset and wounded and vulnerable over negative opinions about the snippets? (And if you think that not letting a few minutes of awkward video override literally every other “snippet” they’ve seen from you on the internet [in this very entry you recommend not being vulnerable to your boyfriend, which sure is healthy advice!] is “evil,”...

The laughter generated by Nick’s Big Show is further embiggened (a perfectly comulent word, BTW) by the talents of Kate Micucci (of Garfunkel and Oates and Scrubs fame) and now-it’s-a-party funnybringer Nick Kroll.

Dude, sorry, but your incessnt posting of songs and bad poetry just got old. Youre not the great musician you think you are, people just ‘like’ your songs because you made them yourself, they dont actually listen to them. Ill bet youll never intend a record deal in your life. So stop trying so hard and get over yourself. Anyone can write a song better than you.
