1. SmartBitches makes fun of romance novel covers

I usually don't find these commentaries all that funny. But this is just... LMAO. I laughed so hard it hurt my chest a bit.

Dear Lord...thank you, I needed that.

2. So I discuss television shows with wet-behind-the-ears yet so earnest young co-worker.

Co-worker: You're more likely to find a good movie than a good television show, so why bother.
Me: Not true. There's a lot of good television shows out there.
Co-worker: There's too many of them, there's fewer movies.
Me: Not true. There's about an equal amount of both.
Co-worker: They can have a television series about everything.
Me: Same with movies. Plus cheaper to make.
Co-Worker: All prime-drama are soap operas.
Me: No they aren't.
Co-worker: Do you know what one is?
Me: Well, yes, I happen to like them and watch the daytime soaps, which are actual soap operas. Do you know how the term soap opera originated?
Co-worker give me a blank look.
Me: They were melodramas with a lot of talking and melodramatic things would happen, and during the commercials they'd sell soap.
Co-worker: hand soap?
Me: Yep. Started in the 1930s and 20s on Radio.
Co-worker: A bunch of people got together and recommended one show that I might like to watch. They chose House of Cards. The first season was amazing and then it slid down hill.
Me: Well, most television shows probably shouldn't go past five seasons..

I tell my mother this story. She tells me that he reminds her of my brother.

My problem? I need to learn not to voice my opinion.

3. Slightly irritable, the city, the heat, and work are getting on my nerves. Good thing I'm going on vacation soon.
