So last night, we (finally) watched SUPER SIZE ME. I've been hesitant to watch it since it came out. Mostly because I thought it had a different premise that it actually does. I had to sit through the first 15mins or so during my creative writing class this summer and found myself intrigued by it. … Continue reading SuperSize some responsibility, please.

Last night, a girl in my class, Lauren, was asked, "Why did you quit acting?"She said, "Because I hated who I was becoming and what I was about."She said she was incredibly vain, perpetually concerned about her weight and size, always looking in a mirror, and beyond that, she was becoming incredibly cynical and bitter...about … Continue reading Cynical and bitter will not describe me….ever.

I have long been bitching about social injustice. I hate it. It's probably the one thing that will really get me going if need be. I can rant and rave about all kinds of crap if I need or want to. The first time I got a real taste of how much I actually hated … Continue reading Fighting an uphill battle…..

There are plenty of things that I want to write about at this point, but nothing is coming. Lame.I made dinner last night for my family. Apparently it turned out well...I honestly think it's the first real forray into cooking that I've made since I've been married.

Man, having puppies is HARD! Well okay...taking them to the vet is hard. The rest is juuuuuuuuuust fine!We took Leo and Suki to their new vet for the very first time last night. Aye. Turns out, there was more stuff out-of-date or wrong that I could have possibly anticipated. But the good news is that … Continue reading Mommy & Papa take the pups on the WORST CAR RIDE EVER!

I just read an article that explains the names of Nicole Kidman/Keith Urban's daughter and Matthew McConaughey's son.Remember how we all read that insane story about how Matthew wanted to do what his brother did and name his kid after his favorite beer? Fine, when his bro's favorite beer is Miller Lite (the kid's name … Continue reading There IS a God!

In one of the greatest articles I've read in quite some time, Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi sums up pretty succinctly exactly what I think about Joel Osteen, televangelist extraordinaire. The following is a quote, although there are portions that I wish I'd have written.McCain's transformation is so complete that at a recent town-hall meeting … Continue reading Rolling Stone: Tell us how you REALLY feel?

I have become one of "those" people. I'm buying our dogs t-shirts to wear tomorrow. No, they won't be dressed up every day, but this is a fun holiday and it's their first one with us, so I think it'll be fun for them to wear 4th of July t-shirts! I'm going to try to … Continue reading 4th of July is goin’ to the dogs!

Chocolate and I have a bit of a love/hate relationship. It plays out in various forms, but only one thing truly remains constant. I do not like plain chocolate. Not even a little bit.I have a bag of misc. chocolate in my desk that I sometimes put in my candy basket to share with co-workers. … Continue reading How do I love thee? Let me count the (very specific) ways…

Just when you think you can guess something about someone, they go and turn you all topsy-turvy.Case and point: my brother has long had a fascination and adoration for Asian women (and Asian people in general), so when he told us that he was going to move to Japan after graduation to teach, we all … Continue reading So if you’re pyschologically normal, then call me back….
