An email from my most incredible friend
Dearest Laura,
Because you can’t always have sex while you’re on hold, and because I’m
pretty sure it’s not quite yet the season to be outside all the time in
BTV, I’m giving you some solid online time-wasters. I’ve given you a
list of shit to do online when you want to stay in bed and your laptop
is handy, and you need a break from a. Job hunting or b. putting J Crew
sale items into a checkout basket but forcing yourself to close the
window before you purchase the items (I did this yesterday, so I know
what I’m talking about).
