April is National Poetry Month
Wednesday, 22 April 2009 6:04 A GMT-06
You may not have realized it. It's not as high-profile as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (which April has also been designated), and both of those are much less known than other months, like Black History Month (February) and Women's Hi

Further Experiments in Cooking
Wednesday, 8 April 2009 6:35 A GMT-06
Back in early March, I saw a recipe in Cooking Light that intrigued me: goat cheese and roasted corn quesadillas. It seemed unusual, pretty easy to make, and potentially delicious. It's been on the back of my mind since I saw it in th

FML

"Today, my friend was saying how her 'nano' died. I quickly responded by saying "so? recharge it." Turns out she didn't say 'nano', she'd said 'nana'. FML" This is from fmylife.com, one of the
London Bound
Wednesday, 25 March 2009 7:16 A GMT-06
Well, it's official. I was accepted into my Study Abroad program. I've sent in my deposit. Barring any issues with the UK Border Agency in obtaining a visa, I'll be in London for about four months this fall.To say I'

A Break from the Gym
Thursday, 19 March 2009 6:29 A GMT-06
For months, I didn't go to the gym. My exercise was limited to the walking and stair-climbing of my daily life. However, about three weeks ago, I started going back. I've actually been fairly impressed with myself; I've

St. Patrick's Day
Tuesday, 17 March 2009 5:30 A GMT-06
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!Despite my Irish heritage, I've never actually been overly fond of St. Patrick's Day. Oh, I like it just fine; I've just never been one to deck myself out in an entirely green outfit and go the
Experiments in Cooking
Tuesday, 10 March 2009 8:51 A GMT-06
Tonight is my last night at home for about two months. In addition to all of the fun parts of spring break (dentist appointment, taxes, etc.), I also get to do some cooking in a real kitchen that I don't have to share with my 60 or so floor

Chocolat Cravings
Thursday, 5 March 2009 6:19 A GMT-06
For those who may not know, last Wednesday began Lent for many Christians. What does that mean? Among other things, it means I can't have candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, pie, brownies, or any other thing that could be defined
Why I Love Awards Shows
Wednesday, 25 February 2009 8:21 A GMT-06
Well, Awards Season is pretty much over. The Grand Finale of such shows, the Academy Awards, aired on Sunday night-- and people are still talking about who won, who didn't, who wore what, and who made the best acceptance speech. A lot
Cultural Dilemma/Overload
Wednesday, 11 February 2009 7:34 A GMT-06
When I graduated from high school and went off to college, I was also leaving behind dance. For thirteen of my then-18 years, I'd danced. So when I came to DC, to keep in touch with that part of my life and on the suggestion of my fat

Museum Trips
Thursday, 5 February 2009 7:20 A GMT-06
Despite the fact that I live in a city with arguably the best museum system in the world (Washington, DC), I do not get downtown to visit them that often. It's not that I don't like museums; I actually love them, even though I hated whe
"Her Morning Elegance"-- or, a really cool music video
Monday, 26 January 2009 7:57 A GMT-06
I love iTunes' Free downloads. Every week, they have a single and a music video available for free. Sometimes they're great, sometimes... not so much. I downloaded one of the free videos a week or two back, but never bothere
The Inauguration
Wednesday, 21 January 2009 9:00 A GMT-06
Ever since I moved to DC for school, I've done and seen so many things that I would never have been able to do back home in New Jersey. Not the least of these was going to the inauguration of Barack Obama yesterday. I won't tell y
The Diet of a College Student
Tuesday, 13 January 2009 7:46 A GMT-06
Well, I'm back at school. This means a number of things (classes, dorm living, work, etc.), but one of them is that I'm eating like a student again. That is to say, not particularly healthily. I've only been back on camp

Game show overload
Tuesday, 6 January 2009 10:13 A GMT-06
As I'm still on winter break for school, I've had a lot of free time lately. Some (though much less than some people) has been spent watching TV. I've never been much of a television watcher, maybe because I've been jaded
Recovery Movie Marathon
Saturday, 27 December 2008 9:11 A GMT-06
Tomorrow morning, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out. Though minor, this is considered surgery; I'm getting anesthetized, and will be unconscious/in pain and recovering for anywhere from 3 days to a week, depending on whether or not it goe

Disney Movie Flashback
Saturday, 20 December 2008 9:16 A GMT-06
I recently have gotten onto a movie-watching kick. I don't normally watch movies that often, but in the past two weeks or so, I've seen about six movies. That's a pretty huge number for me. Normally when I have two hours to ki
Adventures and failures in cookie baking
Wednesday, 17 December 2008 2:22 P GMT-06
Now, I'm a pretty good cook. I'm no gourmet chef, but my friends are always happy when I cook for them, and my roommate once called me a "goddess" for a dinner I made (which, in my opinion, is probably the best compliment ever

Kissing you senseless
Tuesday, 9 December 2008 3:17 P GMT-06
BEIJING (Reuters) - A young woman in southern China has partially lost her hearing after her boyfriend ruptured her eardrum during an excessively passionate kiss, local media reported Monday. The 20-something girl from Zhuhai, in southern Guang
Passing it along
Sunday, 30 November 2008 9:42 P GMT-06
Just like everyone else in America, I headed back to real life after the Thanksgiving weekend. This is probably why my 4 1/2 hour bus ride from New York to DC turned into an 8 hour bus ride. If anything else, it allowed me to spend some q
Neck Biting and Hair Licking
Sunday, 23 November 2008 1:50 P GMT-06
As you're probably aware, Twilight came out on Friday (or Thursday night, for the die-hard fans). While I haven't seen it yet, I have been paying some attention to the media tour Robert Pattinson has been making--what he describes

Forget Romeo. I want Taylor Swift's dress.
Tuesday, 18 November 2008 1:52 P GMT-06
I think it's become mandatory for teenage and college-aged girls to become obsessed with Taylor Swift's song, "Love Story." So many of my friends and classmates have downloaded it, quote it, sing it, swoon over it. As I&
