Hey Apple.
Why isn’t there an easier way for me to sort my apps yet? I understand that moving them around with my finger tip is pretty simple, but dealing with multiple pages is a pain in the ass. Thanks.

Unsolicited Relationship Advice
If you ever really want to buy something, really bad, and you’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks… don’t ask your boyfriend what he thinks of it.
Because he will probably say it looks like it belongs to a grandma. And then tell you to enjoy shuffleboard this afternoon. And you’ll want to punch him in the throat.
Just go ahead and buy it.

My new favorite food blog: Kaytee Says... Eat →
nutritionista:
Food blogs can get so tiresome… Pages upon pages of food pics with some half-hearted commentary (“I was feeling adventurous so I had some hot sauce with my eggs this morning!”). That’s why I only do My Day in Food once a week, if that. Don’t get me wrong, I love food blogs and read way too many, I’m just saying sometimes they lack a little originailty.
Katie’s, however, is...

kaytee: well i guess we are done professionally
soup: oops
kaytee: you lose
soup: i am a sucker for a cute cat
soup: sorry
kaytee: it just goes to show who the real shark fans are and who the bandwagon losers are
soup: that icon looks like he is eating you, not that you are the shark
soup: you're all playing into the shark's hands
kaytee: cats pee on curtains... sharks fucking create havoc... think about that
kaytee: THINK ABOUT THAT
soup: they're both creating havoc
kaytee: yeah but sharks do it by being awesome. cats do it by being assholes.
soup: ha!
soup: true
soup: but that shark is EATING YOU
kaytee: the avatar is not what matters
kaytee: what matters is: are you awesome? or are you an asshole?
kaytee: you chose asshole
kaytee: too bad you can't be awesome...
kaytee: like me

Real classy, McDonalds.
I get the feeling the ad people should have put some more thought into these billboards for the angus burger. “Beef in the heart of Texas” isn’t exactly clever considering a) heart disease is the number one cause of death in Texas & b) red meat has been linked to heart disease.
Sounds appetizing, right?
