Wednesday, January 27, 2010: a big day for America. That’s right, yesterday we witnessed the unveiling of Apple’s latest and greatest: the iPad. For those of you who have been in a bubble since yesterday (doing homework perhaps?) we’ll put it this way: Kindle+ gameboy +portable DVD player+ internet+ bigger and better APPS = the iPad.

Big plans tonight? Hittin’ the town? Maybe you should reconsider and stay in to watch the most epic musical event ever, while also doing a little good for those in need.

Although I knew this relationship was toxic (to my brain, at least), I wasn’t willing to let go. At the end of the day The Jersey Shore DID offer me all of the wonderful things you would expect to get out of a relationship. I was entertained, always had a good laugh, and most importantly, it always made me feel good about myself.
