If you have been ignoring everything I say, tweet, Facebook post, pin, or blog for the past 3 months, there’s a small possibility that you may not know that I’m part of the chorus for this year’s Durham Savoyards production of Iolanthe (pronounced eye-oh-lahn-thee, if you were curious). If you live in the Durham-ish area, I would love for you to come see the show! And here are the reasons why you should:

10. It’s at the Carolina Theatre, a fun, historic venue in a cool part of downtown Durham, near lots of great restaurants and a big parking deck. It’s also newly renovated, so even if you’ve been there before, you’re in for a brand new treat. It looks amazing! New sound system, too!

9. You can choose from 4 different dates! The show runs Thursday (tonight!), Friday, and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

My day job office is in the process of moving, and we’re a little bit homeless right now, so everyone’s been given the option to work from home. I have long lamented the fact that I have to put on pants and show up to the office every day, so I was very much looking forward to this week. But you know what? Staying home all day all by yourself is a little bit boring. It’s been a weird week of sitting on the couch with bad posture, folding laundry on my lunch break, and yelling at the dog to pipe down. The jury is still out on whether working from home is a good thing or not.

Here’s what I did this week when I wasn’t working from home.

What I Wrote

I did a recap of someone else’s pin test of unicorn poop. Yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds.

I also cooked stuff in the crockpot that looks like plain old horse poop. It wasn’t terrible. But that doesn’t mean it was good.

On Teh Internets

I’m famous, you guys! The Daily Dot did a story on bloggers making fun of Pinterest, and my little old Pintester blog made the list! Also, that’s my mug plastered to the top of the story, and my ass at the bottom of the story. My ass is famous, too.

10. Pirates!
