So, I have two books to review today! Instead of making two separate entries in the same day, I'm just going to mush them together into the same post.

  The new semester starts tomorrow. Food on campus is really expensive, so I tyipcally brown-bag it. The only thing is, a girl can only do peanut butter sandwiches for so long before it gets old. So, sometimes I get a little bit creative. Not overly creative, mind, but a little bit.
  So here's some trail mix I made for lunch tomorrow. I got this ( Read more... )

Searching for Mickey Shunick | KATC.com | Acadiana-Lafayette, Louisiana

Mickey Shunick went to my school and had a lot of friends in common with me, though I didn't know her. I'm glad she that she fought, and I'm proud of the way our community rose to the occasion. As her mother, Nancy Shunick, says "I hope he wakes up at night thinking about her ( Read more... )

Okay, so wow. I thought maybe I got a sign from the universe today. Allow me to explain why.
This summer I befriended fellow blogger Jaderbomb - who maybe you've heard of. She's been on Martha and everything, she's always there when I need a hug, etc. I basically love her. Whatever. Just today I was telling her about this blog, which I thought I'd ( Read more... )

One of my friends is trying to take in a stray cat as a pet, but she told me she’s never had a pet cat before and asked me what to expect. So I told her having a pet cat is like having me for a pet. If you feed us, we’ll love you forever - I mean it. For. Ever. You can betray our trust, then win us back an instant later with food and we’ll never ( Read more... )

Oh, jeez! Is it really the last day of the year already? If 2009 was the best year of my life and 2010 was one of the worst, 2011 was really not that bad. I'm hoping 2012 can pick up the slack and be a very, very good year indeed! And, needless to say, not the last year of our lives...
But as is the tradition, I need to share with you my new years ( Read more... )

I originally wrote this entry to post on Amy Poehler's website for girls, Smart Girls At The Party. It's a social network designed for young girls, so I wanted to write something without sounding like a creeper. I figured a game review is a safe bet. Everyone likes games - adults and children.

Besides, I'm a fan of Amy Poehler. Not only is she funny ( Read more... )

I think it should be common knowledge by now that I love to read, and I love to read faddish books that everyone says is "sooo wonderful" and call them out on their bad taste. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised that they're right, most times I'm pleasantly not really surprised that they're wrong. I'm a snob, and I'm happy to live with the fact.

Stop! Just Stop that! Cut it out already!

"Painting With A Twist." Maybe you've heard of it. It's not for me, but I think it's not a bad business idea. It's a place where people can go to drink wine while getting micro painting lessons. The employee's usually tease that their customers - who aren't artists at all, and are the type of people who usually complain that they "can't draw a ( Read more... )
