Boston = city easily terrified by light-brites.

If you could watch the local news, you'd be smacking your forehead as much as I am. They had an interview with a "terrorism expert" that compared a flashing light-brite to an Iraqi IED. Seriously? Seriously?

My mom decided to get a drastic haircut yesterday. She went from mid-back long hair to a chin-length bob. My dad being wise decided to wait in the car ( Read more... )

My dad and I have been sucked into VH1's marathon showing of America's Next Top Model, which is much better than the CSI marathon we went through a couple of nights ago. I can actually walk away from the TV with this show. After a 7 hour car trip to Florida, I flip it back on in the hotel room and begin cycle 6. Sigh, I get silly addictions ( Read more... )

Claire and I went into insane girlie mode today at Build-A-Bear. Nate and Brandon looked on in horror as we picked, stuffed, fluffed, dressed, and named our cute-as-a-button furry friends. A lot of time was spent looking for the softest animal with the cutest face. Claire chose a beautiful snow leopard named Mortimer and I chose a mocha bunny ( Read more... )

You are looking at a brand-spanking new graduate from Columbia. Well...almost. I finished up this month, but Columbia doesn't award degrees until mid-February. Eh, who cares, right?

Ollie: Wait! There was only one turtle in the ( Read more... )

I learned how to semi-navigate photoshop today. My two poster designs for Guys and Dolls can be seen after the cut. ( Posters! )

I just received an email from a professor. Due to a bike accident, he has a fractured cribiform plate evidenced by pneumoencephaly, or air in the brain. His face is held together with two dozen stitches. Also his nose is shattered into 27 pieces. Ahhhhhh....let that be a lesson to all of us that bike riding in New York is not a good idea ( Read more... )

My sister called me yesterday to tell me she is getting married today. Actually I guess it already happened. Well, I will just file that under "dysfunctional family" and forget all about it. Besides she said she didn't want gifts ( Read more... )

My practicum seminar concluded this past Friday with a flurry of presentations on what we did this summer. I was the only person in my group of six who went outside of New York, which kind of bugged me, because I really wanted to hear about an international internship. I know people were in Jamaica, Kenya, and India this summer. Oh well, I guess ( Read more... )
