For Joey- I hope your love for this sport doesn’t die just because you live in America.
I used to watch a lot more soccer when I spent my summers in China. Now, not so much, except for the occasional video clips I find online. This one’s the cutest one I’ve seen so far.
You know, we all could save a lot of time if we paired The Bachelor with The Bachelorette.
I’ve had this app on my phone since it first came out and I’ve used it a handful of times.
Disney museum anyone? I would never go otherwise, because the admission price is so high for what it is. But I guess that’s Disney.

Wow, the Japanese have a word for “the act of buying books and not reading them, leaving them to pile up”: tsundoku i.imgur.com/kRgaXcQ.jpg
Who invented hugs? The first hug would have been so awkward.
“What are you doing? Why are you holding me??” “Shhh, just trust me.”
Nice write-up about one of the biggest challenges of wedding photography: guests.
You know how some things are really bad and awful but it’s still funny to make fun of them?
If you go to Google Maps, click “Get Directions,” select walking, and search for directions from The Shire to Mordor, you get a Lord of the Rings warning in the form of an easter egg that “One does not simply walk into Mordor.”
Google must be putting these out to celebrate Google I/O eve 2013.
Well look at what we’ve got here. Another Google Easter Egg! Enter Atari Breakout in the Google Image Search field. You’ll get results alright, but they’ll turn right into the old school game that I spent a lot of my childhood playing. Or just get the link.
