    I was watching Ellen the other day at the gym. I don’t know about you but I often find myself trying to not show emotion when I watch tv at the gym. It’s like I don’t want all of the other people there to know that I find stupid human tricks hilarious. I think its…

  • Summer Reading: Part Two
