BLOG OF SUCK; alternatively, “The Incident Report”
This blog would have been written sooner except my friend who was visiting this weekend informed me that I should make my blog better by, like, not sucking. At least that was my interpretation. His exact words were intended to be constructive and more along the lines of: “You should write something that will … Continue reading BLOG OF SUCK; alternatively, “The Incident Report”
National Gratitude Month
I meant to post this at the beginning of the month. I’m sorry. But I was reminded it of it today when I was at work because I saw on The Today Show (I think…which show features Hoda?) there were captions that said “Positive Effects of Saying Thank You.*” *This is not … Continue reading National Gratitude Month
A Lesson Learned Regarding Chocolate
Here’s an Eleven-Second Video Clip from While You Were Sleeping. It’s bootlegged and of poor quality, so this is the main idea: Peter, the “beloved” brother, began his heroism as a child when he saved a bunch of squirrels from their helpless, fallen state beneath a tree. In this clip, however, he confesses … Continue reading A Lesson Learned Regarding Chocolate
Happy Monday! (Especially in Armenia)
So, I’m reading a book by A.J. Jacobs called The Know-It-All, in which the author describes his journey through reading the entire set of Encyclopedia Britannica, and I learned that today (January 6th) is the day they celebrate Christmas in Armenia. Jacobs said it as a passing comment, but I’m curious as to why it’s celebrated … Continue reading Happy Monday! (Especially in Armenia)
Thirteen Moments (in pictures) from 2013
In honor of the changing years, it’s time to say goodbye to 2013. If you recall, 2013 was not predicted to be a great year for me, both by the “normal” zodiac and by the Chinese calendar. I was offered this advice: “Embrace neutral!” “Be patient and wait for 2014!” “You may have a … Continue reading Thirteen Moments (in pictures) from 2013
Something Christmas-related
Lists and pictures. Three things that I’ve wanted since 2010 and finally got: 1. 2. 3. Three things I gave as presents: 1. 2. 3. Three things I’ve done today: 1. Woke up at 6:45 to wrap all my presents, which is evidence that I … Continue reading Something Christmas-related
Thanks, American Airlines, for sucking.
I finally made it home to New Mexico, where I sat open-mouthed in front of a Mexican food buffet and guzzled green chili, but it was a harrowing experience to get here. It began with a light snow. Actually, it began with my dad purchasing plane tickets for me, because he’s a benevolent soul and … Continue reading Thanks, American Airlines, for sucking.
The Liebster Award: Results of Friday the 13th
One reason last Friday the 13th was a great day for me: I was nominated for the Liebster Award by two fellow bloggers, Miranda and Tiffanie (M&T Bookish), who have kindly taken the time read my writing and not turned away in scorn. A warm and grateful shout out to you both! I wasn’t sure … Continue reading The Liebster Award: Results of Friday the 13th
Ten Confessions
Ten Confessions 1) I keep hearing pitter-pattering above my head, and I’m hoping it’s squirrels on the roof and not a family of mice inside the ceiling (this is not a “confession” as much as a current event.) 2) I went to Barnes and Noble today with the intention of buying gifts for … Continue reading Ten Confessions
