I’ve had a rough couple of weeks as I hurtled toward completing three lengthy projects for my second quarter of grad school. I daresay that I’ve been hard to live with, and I know I wasn’t that nice one day at work last week. I haven’t been able to cook much, and every waking minute [...]

I need help. I’ve been hoping beyond hope that I will eventually be able to find a terrible pawn shop commercial I remember seeing in Michiana. I keep looking for it on YouTube, but so far, no luck. It featured a leprechaun squeaking “money money money” while sitting miniaturized on different things in the pawn [...]

I love Doctor Who and to a lesser extent, Star Trek. Fun to watch them collide.
Here’s the second part in a parody mashup of Doctor Who meeting Star Trek. Guess the third part will come out at Christmas.
