I have an unbroken record when it comes to iPhone covers – I’ve managed to successfully scratch and maul every single one that has ever passed through my hands. This includes my most recent one, which lasted all of 3 months before it turned into one heck of a hot mess. So last week, I […]
I have the sleeping habits of a 65-year old. No, really. Stop laughing. My girlfriend makes fun of me endlessly for it. On weeknights, I totally need to be in bed by midnight, or I’d be so grumpy and unproductive the next morning that I’d make the Grinch look like a cute, fluffy, green bunny.
