Invitez-Moi

I'm at a place in my life where I feel incredibly insecure all the time. I grew up being "the smart girl" who excelled at school, but here I sit with several years between myself and a college degree and with a growing number of universities who don't even want to look …

Nine in the Afternoon

People say that you shouldn't judge something until you've tried it. This is generally stupid, since I already know that I hate refried beans and working at McDonald's and running marathons and green eggs. I don't need to try them. I don't want to. If it makes you …

Sheepish McLazyskirts

Dear Internet,

No, I haven't died. I'm not even sick. I just got super behind in blogging. (Signing up to write every single day for Blog365 seemed like a good idea once.) And the farther behind I got, the harder it was to write. Kinda like when you know you need …

Go Team Venture!

My fish, he has a name. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Timmy Venture.

I promised that my brother and I would put together a video explaining how to properly pronounce and appreciate this beautiful name, and I have not forgotten. Adam just seems to think that …

Not to Mention the Biggest Ella Fitzgerald Ever

Things to Love About the Ocean's Eleven Soundtrack:

1. George Clooney's voice on several tracks.


2. The instant Badass Boost(TM) included with each song. You could be doing laundry the boring way, or you could crank up the stereo and do some badass laundry.


3. Brad Pitt's …

Green-Eyed Monsterskirts

This is how it should be. I am in the front seat, blinding people into submission. My brother is in the back seat, quietly reading manga. REMEMBER THAT, "SuperSanko," while you sit at your computer and woo the internet with 140-character quippy statements on …

Don't Ask What Happened on June 30th

I've been trying to narrow down why exactly I fell a month behind in blogging and why it is taking me so long to catch up. The simplest answer is that I just ran out of things to say, but I would have to point to Twitter as the reason for that happening. I used to …

We'll All Do the Fishstick

Tonight, I will celebrate. After almost two years of complete procrastination, I am finally free of .wma files, which means that all my music can finally live on my iPod. How am I celebrating? By laughing myself to sleep with a healthy dose of You Look Nice Today, …

Fly Me to the Moon

Yesterday, I got stuck behind a really long freight train on the way home from work. Because my mother is out of town this week, I get to drive myself to work and back. That time in the car is really the only "alone time" I get, and -- no offense, family -- I really …

Ring Ring Ring, Banana Phone

Things That Failed to Impress Me This Week:

1. Wal*mart's new logo, which is not an improvement over the old one in any way, shape, or form.
2. Jackie Chan's flick, Rob B Hood
3. Target not having a single USB headset in store (that I could find)

Things That Totally Made Me …
