I got through college with straight As by playing Mozart while I studied (I favor piano pieces). I read a study about how it tripled retention, so I gave it a go. Now every time I have to study anything, I do the same thing. It has worked every time.

This can be confirmed as true by watching anyone do anything with "Eye of the Tiger" playing. Whatever they are doing is instantly turned into a momentous accomplishment.

All boxes are belong to kitteh. If it were up to mine, there would be nothing like boxes around here. As of now, there's a shoe box and a big box they use as their private, secret, "no girls allowed" fort. Apparently, they needed to make it comfier and I found three pairs of underwear and several socks stashed in it.…

Hi! You can try a second litter box (some are weird and require two boxes for no. 1 and no. 2 respectively) as well as a different litter. I've had a bunch of cats and my Angelus lost his mind when I got the one that's pine-based, like pellets in shape. HE. WOULD. NOT. HAVE. IT. I had to go and buy emergency clay…

It's snowing again in Chicago and I'm pretty much done with snow for the next 254 years. This was my reaction when I opened FB and saw the trailer linked in Channing's official page -

I have several, you pick. L.A. is a place for random celebrity encounters, particularly on the West side, near the beach. Sample:

an affront to the entire concept of shade

Beyoncé did talk to Kim to ask about North and speak about Blue Ivy, but Kim thought it was strange and polite.

When Raven did her makeup on James St James (look it up, it's on YouTube - it taught me more about contouring with powder than I care to admit, which gave way to my friends saying I "install cheekbones" as result), she gave him her lip with lipliner. In case you don't remember...

ETA: My favorite bit was when the second mom called her dumbass son "zángano." It literally means drone, as the one that dies after mating with the queen bee, who are only there for that. By extension, in Spanish it means "lazybones."

I actually heard someone at Entertainment Tonight refer to them as JoFia.

I started the booty song movement.

When I was about 9 there was a lice outbreak at my school. Every ody had to be deliced and treated, etc. and my Mom decided I would switch my hairdo from my high ponytail with curls (think Shirley Temple curls) to a braid coiled atop my head. No big. I must add here that I have enough curly hair for six people and ay…

Someone on Tumblr pointed Obama's takedown was like this -

Katie has not shut up about the Seahawks since football season started, pretty much. Plus Vancouver is a stone's throw from Seattle, so it's easy to see why. (For instance, I know Jared Padalecki has a house in Seattle so he could be closer to his family while he shoots SPN instead of their regular Austin residence…

Hate to bring up where I grew up once again, but it goes to show the way education varies around the world. I went to high school in Argentina, yeah? It's called that (I know it's called something else here, middle school, maybe?) and you go into first year of high school when you're 12 or 13 years old, depending on…

Your Dad is not the "I save bread!" guy too, is he? (I'm totally using "you're such an imply!" as an insult as soon as humanly possible.)

Seriously reminds me of the wedding cakes Jen posts at Cakewrecks.com, like these. SMH.

The woman can go fuck all the way off a cliff, quickly.

I do that too, but just watching Maury. It helps curb that feeling I get sometimes that maybe I should have a boyfriend. Yeah, no.
