I went to the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear last weekend. (Luckily I think Sanity won.)

I found out about the possibility of going from a friend of mine whose brother and sister were going. My friend couldn't go because of prior commitments, and the sister ended up not being allowed because she's only 13, so left was her brother who is 21. My ( Read more... )

I have just watched the movie Moulin Rouge for the first time, after many many people recommended it to me and were appalled that I had not seen it. It was unlike any movie I've ever seen and I'm really not sure what I thought of it yet other than that I enjoyed it and that it has made me think about love.

I am like Ewan McGregor's character, ( Read more... )

Well, this has been pretty much the craziest week ever at work. And life in general. I've been racking my brains today and yesterday trying to figure out how to describe to people who are not in the title insurance or real estate business why this week was so crazy for me at work, and I've decided it's nearly impossible. But I'm going to try to put ( Read more... )

Yes it is 3:35 in the morning and my computer battery is at 15% but I write some form of one of these nearly every year, if not posted on here, then floating in a word document on my computer, and so to round out a year without reflecting on the past 365 days makes the year not seem complete to me.

I never really realized until tonight how much I ( Read more... )

I'm not really sure where to begin in telling about how crazy this week has been. Crazy amazing that is. Or rather, crazy eye-opening. I'm going to talk about something on here that I really never talk about, but I feel like it's been so important this week, and, like I said, my eyes have been opened this week to some crazy awesome things. So here ( Read more... )

Well my brain's kind of exploding (as is the internet) and so I really feel like I have to post a brief (maybe?) entry regarding the tragic passing of Michael Jackson.

You see, I grew up listening to Michael Jackson music and watching his videos, and from the age of 2 until about the age of 10 when I started getting into country music, if you asked ( Read more... )

Last night, I was glued to the television screen watching the election results come in, as I'm sure many of you were. And when CBS announced that Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States of America, I can hardly describe the joy I felt.

Yes, I am a fervent Obama supporter. I feel like his message is one of change and hope in a ( Read more... )

I've been skimming the newly posted legal draft of "Midnight Sun" (the new Twilight book that got leaked onto the internet, so Stephanie Meyer was like eh, fine, read it legally) and ohhhhhhhh my gosh this is freaking hilarious. I really want to read these books now just to laugh at them, and yet I'm not sure I can actually handle this much emo- ( Read more... )

I have discovered the definition of procrastination: playing on facebook and watching Charlie the Unicorn on Youtube when I have a 10 page paper due the day after tomorrow (of which I have written 3 pages). It probably also says something about my current level of sleep deprivation. Thursday cannot get here fast enough. (cause after this paper's ( Read more... )

We have to do this unit plan for my ed 322 class (in groups of four, thank goodness) and it's like our end of the semester project. Well we had to do a lesson plan last week as a sort of mini-version of the unit plan. And when we went to turn ours in, the professor told us we weren't specific enough about the materials we would need. We had put ( Read more... )
