Self-proclaimed professional bon vivant. Middle school Writing teacher. NYC is where I hang my hat. This is what's on my mind.
Now that she is a published author, Snooki would prefer you call her by her real name, Nicole Polizzi. Wait a minute. Snooki is a published author? Excuse me, I meant to say Nicole Polizzi is a published author? Published?! That's it! If Snooki can write and publish a novel, then there is absolutely no... Continue Reading →
I do not come from an Italian family, but every Christmas Eve, we partake in a great Italian tradition: The Night of Seven Fishes. We began this tradition a few years ago on Christmas Eve, when my immediate family gathers to eat, open presents, and play board games. I could not be happier about the... Continue Reading →
Joe Sjoberg (pronounced SHOW-BERG) has been missing from Madison, WI since Monday, November 29th. Originally from Washington state, 22 year-old Joe Sjoberg was reported missing after he didn't show up at work or his apartment. Joe left with his car and cell phone and nothing indicates any foul play connected with his disappearance. I have personally never met Joe,... Continue Reading →
I've always been a list person, but not in the traditional sense. I'm not the type of person who makes extensive daily to-do lists (although I tried to be sophomore year of college). When I think of something I want to remember, whether it is a task to complete or an interesting idea to write... Continue Reading →
I had the misfortune of watching the inaugural episode of Bridalplasty on E!. As part of my Sunday evening-let's-pretend-we-don't-have-to-work-tomorrow-or-ever routine, I like to lie flat on the couch and indulge in bad reality TV (my favorites are a tie between the Teen Mom marathons and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians marathons). After the Kardashians marathon ended, Bridalplasty aired. I... Continue Reading →
It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen--oh wait, excuse me, wrong story. What I meant to say was that it was an unseasonably warm day in November when I read about the latest in airport security measures--full body scans. Full body scans?! Wasn't walking barefoot through the metal detector with all... Continue Reading →
I can't stand it when couples use Facebook as a main source of communication. I just don't get it. We all know you love each other; after all you are in a relationship together. We know that you have inside jokes, you live together for crying out loud. We don't need to see your couples... Continue Reading →
Me, in happier Brett Favre times. As a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan, I was in love Brett Favre for a very, very long time. When I moved to Boston in the winter of 2007, I brought my love for Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers along with me. I made sure that everyone... Continue Reading →
First, it was the Polaroid camera. Now, the Walkman is the latest archaic piece of technology to be retired by its creators. Twenty years from now, we'll probably laugh about the fact that we ever owned smart phones. I was pretty bummed to learn about the Walkman's demise. What's so bad about the Walkman?! They always came equipped with... Continue Reading →
As you'll notice in my "NaNoWriMo 2010" tab, I have signed up to do this year's NaNoWriMo. For those of you that don't know what that is, NaNoWriMo celebrates November as National Novel Writing Month. During NaNoWrimo, participants are to write a 50,000 word novel. The goal is output, not quality. Brave participants do not go it alone as NaNoWrimo has basically arranged itself... Continue Reading →
