Click Here to Win A Million Dollars

Dear Patrons of Have You Been There.com,

Who are we kidding?

Dear Moms (both Justin's and Mallory's),

We want to extend our sincere apologies for being a bit lacking in the blog-posting department as of late. We realize that copying and pasting Oscar winners and posting random videos are no substitute for real, original content written directly from our pop-culture-loving hearts. We're sorry for depriving you of Justin's Being Human recap and Mallory's Oscars fashion critique. Both of which we know you've come to expect from us.

Please allow us to explain. First, Mallory's recent move to a new apartment resulted in a deficiency of media in the form of television and Internet. She oh so stubbornly refused to get cable and Internet as she had convinced herself that she "mostly just watches movies anyway" and "could just bum wireless from the apartment complex." Oh how that plan backfired. She failed to consider that one can't pop in a DVD of the Oscars red carpet and she misjudged the distance an apartment community's wireless Internet can reach (NOT all the way from the pool, in case you're wondering). Thus, there was no post Oscars fashion post.

Second, Justin's living situation does not provide many options in the way of media consumption. The only way he can get his Internet is via spotty ethernet cables. Not ideal seeing as how this provides, well, spotty Internet. In addition, last year's switch to digital cable was not kind to Justin. His landlady failed to get the guesthouse he lives in a digital cable box, virtually eliminating the media intake potential at his abode.

These last few days in which we have been purged of media in two of its most important forms have taught us a lot. (Namely that you can't write an entertainment blog with no tv or Internet.) But rest assured, patrons Moms, there is a light at the end of this cold, dark, media-less tunnel. A bright, shining light we like to call Comcast. Yes, the cable guy comes Friday. On Friday we will be back to our regularly scheduled blogging, so please standby.

We thank you for your patience,

Mallory and Justin

P.S. We're sorry for tricking you into reading this post by giving it a misleading title. If we knew how to get a million dollars... we'd probably just keep it...
