Heyoh! How’s your week been? Mine flew by! We got back into the swing of things at work, I spent too much time dealing with my kitchen, and I got a new regular freelance job that I’m really happy about.

Here is some reading material for your Friday!

Suds for Drugs [New York Magazine] This article about how Tide laundry detergent became a hot black market item is so fascinating.

The Audacity of Lena Dunham, And Her Admirable Commitment To Making Us Look At Her Naked [xoJane]

Opportunity Costs: The True Price of Internships [Dissent Magazine]

America’s Real Criminal Element: Lead [Mother Jones]

Sammy Sosa’s Kooky Pinterest Won the Internet Today [Mashable] I just cannot stop looking at this and laughing.

Customer review of the DivaCup [Amazon] Amazing.

How was your week? Anything good to share in the comments?

The Tide thing is sooooooooooo crazy! Who knew laundry detergent was such a hot commodity?? I never buy Tide….its too damn expensive.

And seriously Sammy? Is he getting ready to run for an election? Thats what these photos look like. They look like silly head shots a politician would make before they ran for an election.

Love the Diva Cup review.

Have you seen the banana slicer reviews on Amazon? Also great for a laugh.

The Diva Cup review…I die. I’m a proud user of a Diva Cup and knowing full-well the truthiness of that review makes it all the funnier.

This week I’m loving: http://www.xojane.com/issues/get-out-of-my-gay-bar which is like everything I want to say but already published online.
