"she noticed an odd tingly sensation running up and down her thighs. And when she got up to walk around, things got weirder. She felt like she was almost "floating," because she couldn't feel her legs. “It felt really strange — it felt like my leg had gone to sleep,” (MSNBC)

New Project: Ra Ra Riot and Vampire Weekend

Everythings Better With a Bag of Weed

They could not have been serious? Right?

Time Warner Cable Inc. is shelving its plan to bill customers based on how much Internet traffic they generate, following mounting public and political outcry.
