This year, I hate Year-End-Reviews. Because if I did one for myself, it might look like this:
2008: The Year of the Almosts
January: The Boyfriend Who Shall Remain Nameless (TBWSRN - long and annoying, no?) begins Elusive Job Hunt- all interviews are out of town.
(And before you get all- it’s just your boyfriend, don’t you have [...]
In the dawn of my life, I was given a baby blanket. It was your typical blanket: a pale yellow square of cotton waffle fabric, trimmed with monochromatic satin and smelling of Downy fabric softener. It was, as all security objects are meant to be, a comfort. I loved that blanket.
Like all blankets, it was [...]
Civics Quiz
I scored 72%. Good thing I’m not a Social Studies teacher.
We should all probably know more about this democracy of ours, if only to pass on the knowledge to future generations.
Or perhaps I’m just speaking for myself.
Fun Facts
1. I just watched The Namesake. It was alright. “Aight”
2. You know what is good, though? Weeds. Totally flew through two seasons on Netflix.
3. I have absolutely been sleeping on the couch ever since break started. I’m depressed that TBWSRN is still out of town working. The bed feels a little too yes-he’s-really-gone-over-the-holidays. Don’t [...]
The day after Christmas, I always have the urge to go through the drive-thru and get a cheeseburger. I think of it as reclaiming a right that was stolen from me the day before. You know, Christmas Day.
Let me explain.
As I drive home from the family holiday gathering on Christmas Day (also known as the [...]
All guests would have to be SEAT TO SEAT at 9 am. Though - for the record - I have yet to see any guest dash toward his or her seat as the fiddle-tastic, all frantic-like music sounds. Imagine David Gregory admonishing Erin Burnett with a firm, “That’s your second.”
It would be agenda-ized. Instead of [...]

I have three RAD songs for you to download. Three: that’s manageable, isn’t it?
“Everything is Borrowed”- The Streets (Most comparable to the musical stylings of Mos Def)
“Electric Feel”- MGMT (Kinda like 70s Disco)
“Kids”- MGMT (Electronic music with SOUL, vocalist sounds like B. Flowers of The Killers to me)
Now, don’t make me count backwards from five [...]
Imagine you wake up with that “Geez, it feels so late” feeling. You look at your cell phone alarm, which you will NEVER USE AGAIN. It has mysteriously frozen at midnight. You click until it comes back to life.
It reads 7:30.
But, but…you have to report to work at 7:40 and, on days with good weather, [...]
