This week’s cleaning product discovery: “heavy-duty” is really just a euphemism for “makes you sneeze a lot when you spray it.”
Got an email from my boyfriend’s friend with the subject “He’s Just Not That Into You!” Alarming till I realized it was an invite to a film.

Wait a second. What’s this? CashPoint, an outfit that makes quick-fix loans, is advertising in … prime time? On some of TV’s most popular programs?
Well, yes: “Need caa-aash?!” asks a shrieking announcer in one of several commercials for the three-year-old Alexandria company. “Take your car title to CashPoint and get cash!”
