Tweet I’m breaking from the normal flow of things here to seek out some opinions. In February, I plan the “official” launch of www.withoutbeingcrushed.com. There’s still a bunch of work that I want to do on the site. We won’t even talk about how much work actually needs to be done on the book. I… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Interlude
Hump Day Crush: More Than the Cover
Tweet The new season of Beauty and the Geek has hit the CW. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is one of the few reality shows that I actually think is worth watching.
