OK Go is a band which neither thrills me nor annoys me, but don’t you love their videos? Have you seen this one where they use dogs!? They’ve harnessed the power of cute to make a good video even better. Although the dogs look a little confused. My only qualm, as you might have excepted,…

5: Qualities i admire
Since last Friday’s 5 was such a debate, I thought I would do something short and sweet today. Ps. Looking back at that list, I feel like I disagree with all of them now. It must have been the sleep deprivation talking. 5 qualities I admire in others, mostly in order: 01 | Kindness 02|…
