Beyonce at Carnegie Hall

Earlier this week, Beyonce did what any mom does a month after having a baby: she went to her husband’s performance at Carnegie Hall and then to an afterparty at one of New York City’s hottest clubs. Oh. You mean that’s not what you did a month after giving birth? “No, no… I’m bootylicious. Just [...]

TV Commercial Earworms That Must Be Stopped

I try to avoid commercials as often as possible. I pre-record shows, and sometimes I even deliberately wait until 15 minutes into a show before watching just so I can fast forward through commercial breaks.
