February 21, 2009
For reasons that may never be explained, I decided to finally watch the Friday the 13th series that has spawned more than 11 sequels since 1980. This endeavor is a colossal waste of time, and there is a good chance that I won’t make it passed the fourth or fifth sequel, but I’m just way [...]

Gianna and Adilene Barbieri (112/113th place) Those of you too lazy, busy, or not Internet-savvy enough to participate in this year’s Oscar Pick’em should consider that my 1 year-old cousins managed to find time during their hectic schedule to vote.
