Step Inside the Map: London
I’m currently sitting in Regents Park, eating a “supercharge” salad dinner, and watching kids who don’t speak English successfully feed squirrels from their hands, which if you ask me is like feeding demon creatures because squirrels are freaking scary, while Simon is off working his bartender magic. (When I say “bartender magic,” I mean magic.…

Leaving on a High Note
All right you fine folks of America (and, if I’m lucky, the world): I am ending my silence to blog again, hoorah! If you missed my recent update, you can check it out here. It briefly explains why I’ve been silent for the last couple months (and when I say briefly, I mean one…

Journaling 101: A sneak peak inside my journal
4 My I’s ONLY Whenever I tell people I journal every day, they seem to respond in one of two ways. 1. “Wow. Every day? Really? That’s…[insanity] dedication.” 2. “What do you [could you possibly] write about?” Obviously there’s no literary genius behind my writing, as you’ve likely been able to observe from my blog;…

The Roswell Death March
Last year on St. Patrick’s Day, I was in Montueka, New Zealand, wearing an “Irish I were drunk” shirt drinking Baileys Irish Cream alongside new Chilean friends while filming a “Happy Birthday” video for my ex-boyfriend that I would give him belatedly in the States. This year, however, I was not celebrating St. Paddy’s Day.…

Beware the Ides of March
It’s Friday, y’all! And it’s the Friday in which Brutus earned his way into the 9th level of Hell! Here is a testament to my week. It all went downhill on Wednesday, hence the delay in posting a blog. As usual, I wrote a blog draft on the morning of Weekly Writing Wednesday, but I…

My Life in TV
“This show is my life” Every six months or so, I become obsessed with a new TV show. It started with Friends (and will, to some degree, always be Friends **head bowed, fist in the air**), then it moved to Sex in the City, Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, and now it is…

The Gum Crisis (And My Governmental Conspiracy Theory)
Just yesterday I had a long conversation with a Bostonian about what type of person is “difficult,” in the business-consumer kind of way. I claim it’s the boss-type, one who is used to having power and/or wealth, such as CEO’s, AVP’s, those girls on Sweet Sixteen, “experts”, etc. I do not, myself, exhibit this behavior…

Worst Blog Ever: an Ode to Valentine’s Day
I have discovered, yet again, that there is an inverse relationship between wanting to write (or feeling the pressure to write) and being able to produce something that doesn’t suck. I have wanted to write a blog for nearly a week now, and even though I have a bunch of “material,” nothing comes…

I am Tiger
A QUESTION OF LANGUAGE My college students read an essay by Gloria Naylor entitled, “A Question of Language,” and I have several things to comment about this experience. The first is that hooray for me, I actually got my college students reading! Last semester I could have dropped my class into a pot…

Have a butcher’s, mate
THE PLAGUE OF PEANUT BUTTER I’ve been running experiments to see what causes my weird, fluctuating weight gain. Despite the obvious hypothesis of “Hello! How about that daily intake of ice cream?” I refuse to believe it –though I DID switch back and forth between no-sugar added and low-fat / no-fat ice cream, and…
