Self-proclaimed professional bon vivant. Middle school Writing teacher. NYC is where I hang my hat. This is what's on my mind.
I went and saw Pearl Jam at Alpine Valley the other weekend as a part of their 20th anniversary weekend tour extravaganza event. I've always liked Pearl Jam and so I was excited that their only set of US shows was a half an hour away from my house. Of course, since the shows were... Continue Reading →
Although I've been writing on this blog for over a year now, I realized that I have never taken the time to actually introduce myself to you in person. So, without further ado, I give you my introductory vlog! I've been looking to expand into the vlogosphere for a while now and what better way... Continue Reading →

Most of the clothes she owns are on back order for years. As is the case with most mega-celebrities, the Duchess formerly known as Kate Middleton is now the subject of... Continue Reading →

With today's announcement that Borders will close the last of its 399 stores, I couldn't help but wonder, does this mean the return of independent bookstores? I can't say I'm exactly sad to see Borders go as I've always been a huge supporter of the smaller, mom-and-pop bookstores, but I do feel for the Borders... Continue Reading →
There is nothing more wonderful than receiving a book as a gift, especially if the gift giver is someone with whom you are romantically involved (or wish you were).

A married couple, both with Facebook accounts, but not even Facebook friends. That’s right because these wonderful people don’t need a social networking site to prove to the... Continue Reading →
Thursday's child has far to go. - "Monday's Child" Today, I turn twenty-OLD. Today is also a Thursday, the actual day of the week on which I was born. That should count for something. Another fun fact about today, my mom graduated from high school on this day in history. Somewhere in the '60s, to be... Continue Reading →
