Greetings from the Library
Yes, I am in the library. Yes, it's 7:26 am, before the library officially opens at 9. No, I did not break in ( Read more... ) -
No seriously, I haven't posted since May?
It's because I've been crazy busy. This summer is like one long vaguely stressful party ( Read more... ) -
Iron Man 2 - opinion-related spoilers
Well, I enjoyed it, made me laugh a lot and I think Don Cheadle did a great job, but without Robert Downey Jr., this movie would have straight-up sucked. I doubt anyone else could have pulled the disparate threads together and made it all seem plausible the way he did when he was onscreen, it suffered when he wasn't there ( Read more... ) -
Your Funny Earth Hour story for the day
So in honor of Earth Hour I texted some local friends to come over and drink wine by candlelight. Becky and Emily agreed to come over. Becky got there first and wanted ice cream, so I called Emily, got her order and we walked to the Brown Cow. Midway there I realize the lone box of matches I have only has two matches in it.

This weekend I'm headed back to the parents - so hard not ( Read more... ) -
Hear Ye Hear Ye
Let it be know far and wide that I am signing a lease on my very own apartment on Thursday.
You'll know it's happened by the clanging of a thousand bells and the cheering of Sir Robin's minstrels.
There may also be signs and portents in the skies, so keep a weather eye out. -
Twelve Days of Star Wars
Perhaps you might remember the year when my mother and I went insane and created six scrapbooks in three months for our six little cousins who were going to the Star Wars Weekend at Disneyworld. That Christmas, my 9 year old cousin Brenden gave me this, written just for me, as a Christmas gift. Because my cousins are awesome in their geekery ( Read more... ) -
AVATAR
Right, so as a Christmas gift my friend Mike paid for me to see this in 3-D at the Muvico in Rosemont. Which meant, evidently, that we got to sit in a little box section and get an usher who actually led us to our seats. Old is the new cool I guess ( Read more... )
