Amish Mafia episode review: “Joining the Flock”

Well, it’s either review an episode of Amish Mafia or watch the PIG game with the NCAA.  PIG as in “play-in game.”  No question.  It’s Amish Mafia review time.  Besides, I’m pretty sure we’ll see some PIG games going on tonight.

You should be dancing this morning

Are you sick and tired of this blase weather?  The snowstorms, the cold, the chills, the crappy drivers on the highway who don’t wipe the snow off their roofs unless they’re driving 70 mph and the snow flies off the roof on its own? Do you need a pick-me-up?  Do you need to get some…

Time Warner Cable’s “Channel You” – what is it?

I flipped through the cable channels last night.  Figured there had to be something worth watching after 9:00 p.m., as opposed to sitting through a new episode of Ax Men on the History Channel.  I flipped through channel after channel, basically humming a Bruce Springsteen song after every single “ah I’m not watching this junk”…
