Do I have your attention?

Wait...isn't that also the name of a creepy cadaver exhibit? Well, that's not what I'm going for. I'm talking about something a little more appealing--say, like, Zoey Deutch and Danila Kozlovsky training for the Vampire Academy movie:

Today was my friend's baby shower, and she's having a girl. Now, I had to leave the party early, but I feel pretty confident in guessing that there were some cute dresses given as gifts. If not, then a great crime occurred, and I will rectify the situation later. Because seriously, how can you not bestow cute girly outfits on girl babies? I ask ( Read more... )

I've finally gotten around to reading Scott Westerfield's Uglies series and am just about done with the second one. It's quite possibly the best thing I've read in ages. For those not familiar with it, it's a YA series set in the future after humanity has unsurprisingly wiped out much of itself, thanks to war and environmental destruction. ( Read more... )

A third post in the same day! This is what happens when I work...I end up taking breaks and writing about random things.

As part of my Fourth of July extravaganza, I went and saw WALL-E, Pixar's latest digitally animated tour de force. And as a side note? After watching the previews at that movie, it appears that all films this year are going ( Read more... )

I've made no secret of the fact that I'm a tank top person. I've been that way for the last few years, ever since empire waists came in style and did good things for those of with short torsos. In winter, my wardrobe simply carried over with the addition of a cardigan ( Read more... )

As part of that infamous Bachelor of General Studies, I studied Evolutionary Psychology. I like EP because it explains all sorts of human behavior, from dating to mental health to obesity. If you ever want your ideas about romance and sex totally warped, go read The Evolution of Desire by David Buss ( Read more... )

And it might as well be me ( Read more... )

For someone who used to be a reality television snob, I sure do seem to watch a lot of it nowadays. My poisons of choice are Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, and--God help me--American Idol. This is actually the first season I've ever watched AI, and like so many other reality tv shows, it's eerily compelling ( Read more... )

A lot of people seem to think I'm more powerful and famous than I really am. Someone referred to me as a celebrity recently, and I was kind of surprised. The truth is, my life is decidedly unglamorous, and if you ranked me on the scale of author famousness, I'd come up pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. I mean, look at my life. I have ( Read more... )
