Links Hijinks: Metric Jenn Scours the Net for Your Pleasure

Metric Jenn

GREETINGS, MY MINIONS. It is mid-week, and I'm already plotting ways to get out of work that involves arson and me not being caught. I know most of you are dreaming of the same things, which is why you come here, and why I love you.

Yet here we are, sitting at our desks, surrounded by other drones, and/or the idiotic masses...to stave off the homicidal rages that I know you and I are all prone to, I've cobbled together some delightful links for you to enjoy.

Happy Thursday! HAPPY LINKS ONLY!
