Bye bye Jay. I haven’t watched him in a long time, but still, it’s kinda sad.

Hey google. Nice one. Take that Sochi.

Ok Jake, this is us when you get married, so get in shape.

Now this would be a fun job.

Completely and totally cool. Way to use a button.

It has a dog and a baby and laughing. C’mon. Does it get better?

And another madly in love, I-have-the-perfect-marriage “Real Housewife”is getting divorced. Have another glass of wine, Ramona. (Perhaps it should be re-named “The Unreal Housewives of New York.”)

Applause for American Apparel and their 62 year old lingerie model. There’s hope for me (not really).

Really, and they had to do a study to know this. Duh.

Not that I’m going to “da club,” but I’m all in. I think they are the universal pant. At least in my little life.
