Tin Foil Monster Fingers
It may look silly, but the tin foil technique to remove glitter nail polish really does work. Although it does make using Photo Booth on my laptop more difficult. Tweet

A Homesick New Englander Discusses Dunkin’ Donuts
It’s hard to explain the affection New Englanders have for Dunkin’ Donuts. They’re a staple. They’re everywhere. In the years before the jokes about the Starbucks on every corner, those jokes could have been made about Dunkins in New England towns. Yes, that’s an old logo without the coffee cup.

NaBloPoMo Randomness
A week into NaBloPoMo, and I’m already pulling out the random list. 1. Scene: Sunday morning. Susan’s “auto-set” clock did not reset itself to Standard Time. Frustrated, she resets the clock manually. Scene: Monday morning. Susan is an hour late for work because her auto-set clock sets itself back an hour – a day late. [...]
