I have a confession to make.  I just saw the movie Juno and I loved it.  I highly encourage you all to see it as soon as possible.  The writing was funny and witty and the actors portrayed these characters with charm and personality.  The acting was understated and beautifully done.
Aside from that, the story [...]

I just had an “Oh my God I must really be an adult now” moment.  I was eating my bowl of raisin bran cereal and reaching the last bit of floating bran when I noticed a raisin hidden in the milk.  It was as though Christmas had come again!  I dug about until I found [...]

If I may abuse this medium and get a bit preachy for a moment – I’m sick to death of being lied to!  It is a common enough failing among humanity to “improve” the truth or amend reality or just make up things completely out of thin air.  While I’m a big fan of fiction [...]

I check my statistics page for this site obsessively, despite promising to do just the opposite.  As such, I know how many people come see this site every day, what sort of things people search for that lead them here, even how many people bookmark this page in their favorites. 
Because I check this all the [...]

I hope everyone has had a lovely few days.  Christmas has come and gone and New Years’ Eve is on the horizon.  Holidays seem to move so quickly.  First Halloween, then suddenly it’s Thanksgiving, then Christmas is upon you and then you’re celebrating the end of a year and then Valentine’s Day and then there [...]

Last night I went to a Winter Solstice party.  I confess that I was more than a touch nervous about attending.  The friend who hosts such parties is terribly cool and I always worry that I’m not quite up to the hipness standards of her other friends.  I did attend the Solstice party last year [...]

As today is my last full day of work before my holiday break, I thought it might be fun to bring out more of the silly, themed quizzes.  For those who know me, I’d love to know if you think anything is accurate.  And share your own results! 

You Should Have a White Christmas Tree

For you, [...]

Another audition has come and we’re waiting to hear from the theater.  This time, I really am not worried about getting in.  To be honest, until tonight I didn’t even really want to be in the show.
The play is Fuddy Meers.  I won’t give anything away from the plot as it’s very convoluted and really [...]

By now you’ve probably at least heard of the horrific shooting a week ago at New Life Church in Colorado Springs.  Earlier that same day, the shooter killed two people at a mission in Arvada, CO before going to New Life and opening fire, killing two sisters and eventually himself.
A week later, as the shaken [...]

I have, in my possession, the ugliest chair in existence.  I shall do my best to describe it to you, but know now that no attempt will truly encapsulate the hideousness of it.
This chair is patterned with large, yellowish-orange diamonds with green floral looking things in each of the four diamond corners.  There are also [...]
