Apparently, rehab isn’t what I think it is because people keep checking in and out and when they’re out they’re doing exactly what they went to rehab to stop doing.
This is what rehab did to Lindsay Lohan for fuck’s sake. But the Daily News says she’s headed to the Promises rehab facility, which I’ve […]

Then, on a lark, I decided to check my mailbox to see if anyone had […]

I’m eating and drinking enough chocolate that the dopamine in my brain is actually blocking some of the pain (not much, […]
