I’m beginning to feel a little guilty about not having written anything real in such a long time. Suffice it to say I’ve got a lot on my mind and it’s apparently blinding me to the plethora of possible posts. But hey, just because I’m not bringing my A game doesn’t mean I […]

These adorable little flowering trees are EVIL. I so much as look at one and my eyes swell up, my mucus production goes into overdrive, and I can’t stop sneezing. Right now Benadryl is only thing standing between me and certain death.
Yeah, fuck you Spring…

Everything works out the way it’s meant to… everything works out the way it’s meant to… everything works out the way it’s meant to.
My new mantra.

Sorry the site’s been down so long - ever since upgrading to the latest version of Wordpress I’ve been inundated with spam. I think I’ve got the issue in hand now, but will know for sure over the next few days. In the meantime bear with me…

Sydney and I have a tradition. For each new book I start (which is often), Sydney makes a brand new bookmark for me. Some are fancy glittery, bedazzled affairs… others are inspired by whatever she happened to be watching that day, and then there are some that sort of defy categorization. Take […]

I’ve been giving this whole cooking thing a try. I’ve got several months with not much going on, so why not learn to cook, right? Naturally I started with some of my favorite things. Beyond rice-a-roni & the creation of the world’s best banana muffins, I’ve been working heavily in thai (my all-time […]

I’ve never been a diehard ‘Blair Witch Project’ fan, so I was iffy on Cloverfield after everyone started comparing the two. I knew the whole hand-held, shaky cam thing could be an effective tool (if you don’t believe me, just watch Irreversible), but there has to be more to it than just that.

I’m not really sure why it’s taken me so long to read Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Perhaps the subject matter? I’m sure it didn’t help. Also I had a particularly obnoxious professor who felt it her duty to remind us weekly that Nabokov was the best thing since sliced bread. I […]

Anyone who’s read my blog very long knows there are certain American foods I still crave. Rice-A-Roni being chief among them. So, when I decided to preoccupy myself by learning how to cook during this normally depressing downtime, the first thing I did was look into adapting recipes to mimic lost favorites. […]

Ok, I took a look at your favorite movies thinking I could glean a little something about each you based on them. Sadly I didn’t make much headway. I do have a better idea who all I’d invite over for a movie night though…
Anyway, in my search for deeper meaning I came across […]

Some days are good, some are bad... all are opportunities to learn & grow.
With my sunny disposition and can-do attitude, what could possibly go wrong?
