Tuesdays have become slightly more bearable

Those who know me at all know that I despise Tuesdays. Always have, always will. This much I have accepted. But I am always looking for ways to ameliorate, if even the tiniest bit, the inherent malaise that accompanies this most dreadful day of the week. Thanks to TBS, I have found a small, yet noteworthy remedy for the Tuesday blues. I recently discovered that the station is airing back-to-back episodes of The Office between 10 and 11PM every Tuesday. No matter how terrible my Tuesday might have been, it simply cannot end badly if I close the day with this show. This new programming has brought me some much needed Tuesday relief and I hope it will do the same for you.

Softee is no softie!

I was extremely pleased to be sent an am New York article this morning detailing how my beloved Mister Softee is putting the smack down on those hideous impostor ice cream trucks that circulate through the streets of NYC, as ubiquitous and unwelcome as the pigeons and rats, attempting to vend their subpar ice cream wares to a largely unsuspecting public and threatening to maim the impeccable integrity and reputation of the one and only Softee. Those who know me well know that I do not tolerate (nor have I ever) these shameless posers and their pathetic attempts at delivering the frozen awesomeness that can only be produced by the founding father of mobile soft serve as we so fondly know it. I realize that not everyone is as attuned to the myriad wonderful idiosyncrasies of the lovable cone-head as I am, so it was especially comforting to learn that formal efforts involving private investigators, lawsuits and the U.S. Marshals Service are in place to put the "freeze" on the shady vendors so that the true star of the streets can shine bright with no distractions. Long live Softee!
