What is the meaning of this song?
A lot of times I can just Google the lyrics and find one of those annoying lyrics sites with ten site banners, but sometimes one is still stumped. In the spirit of Web 2.0, I most often use SongMeanings.net for Ben Folds Five and Alanis Morisette songs. Although I [...]
I asked the workers at the marriage license branch last week what the busiest time of the year for marriages is. They said it was this week, the week between Christmas and New Years. Maybe it’s the opposite of mutual funds distributions and you want to wait till the end of the year, so you [...]
