1. So, yeah, I didn’t get to a single email last night. But I got to them this morning.
2. The PG’s series on the antiquated, monopolistic nature of the PLCB is a must read. There has been many a time that I have sat at my laptop and said, “PittGirl, you need [...]

1. My 90’s/late 80’s kick is in full force now.

You must check out this local BMW commercial filmed with some of our Penguins which I found at Deadspin.

1. I am suddenly on like a 90’s kick or something. Maybe late 80’s/early 90’s. I don’t know.
All I know is that I have season-passed Pop Up Video on VH1 Classic (Danger Zone! Kenny Loggins!), have found myself really enjoying the hell out of some Wham! songs on 92.9 (WTF, I know), and [...]
