Island New Year's!

I’ll be back in 2009! Tee hee! Hopefully resuming normal posting after that. Yay!

Dec 28th

Wait....

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I know. I didn’t post for more than four days. I caught a stomach bug and then had to pack for Dominica, so there! We leave in about 8 hours. Eeeeeeeeee! I’m excited. :-)

Back

I have returned from Lawrence and KC. The weekend was fun, and more than a little ridiculous. And cold. Photos to come, I’ll post a few here too. The end.

Dec 24th

Lawrence Bound!

Headed to Lawrence and KC for the weekend, back Tuesday, probably no updating before then, but you never really know, do ya? ;-)

Ten Days!

Ten days ‘til I’m on the island. No, not this island: That’s not for a few weeks yet. No, I mean THIS island: Better known as the Commonwealth of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic). It is located here, (in red) in the Caribbean/West Indies: My brother will be going to med school at Ross University. The whole fam is headed down there next weekend...

We the people....

I watched The People’s Court today (the ENTIRE episode) for the first time in probably 15-20 years, with this new “judge”: I didn’t really have much choice in the matter, as it was on in the nail salon during my mani/pedi. But holy crap, was it hilarious! I dunno if it’s because I’ve been through law school, and I know what that judge is really thinking, or...

Weather again

I really hope the ice they’re predicting isn’t as bad as they say it’s going to be. And more importantly, who is “they” and what gives “them” the right to predict whether or not I get to go out tomorrow? Yeah, thought so. And yes, I realize that I have posted about weather twice in a row. Ha.

Dec 18th

Snowish

There’s a lot more snow on the ground than the silly weatherguys predicted today. Also, it’s effing cold. Like, face-numbing cold. And I can’t find my scarf. Soon, however, I will be on a tropical island. Holla! And before that, I get to see a lot of my friends coming to town. Yay! Also, I am craving this: but I can’t have it because they are loaded with...

A long winter's nap

But I am le tired. And le cold!

Total Recall

Isn’t it ridiculous how coming across someone from your past can cause complete regression of personality and behavior (at least in your own head)? Funny how that works. Yeah….

Reason # 11 why I am a nerd

I like space stuff. Like these two things which happened this month. First, the planets Venus and Jupiter got really close to each other in the sky, and managed to produce this “smiley face” image with the moon. This photo makes me happy every time I see it: Also, the full moon this weekend was the brightest and biggest of this year, and the moon was actually closer to the earth...

Me likey

May I just say that I heart Paul Rudd? Ok, good. I know that he sort of plays the same character in every movie I’ve seen him do for the past few years (Clueless was pretty different from what he does now), but I think he’s pretty much playing himself in all these roles, and I dig it. You know, the self-depricating, observational, semi-dry humor, eff it I don’t really give a...

70% Cocoa...I'm pretty sure

I should have taken a picture. Last night I had dinner at Bonefish Grill, and for dinner I had the most amazing chocolate (yes, chocolate) creme brule. Now, I’ve never had chocolate creme brule, but I’m a fan of the regular variety, so I thought I’d give this a go. It was exquisite…once I got past the slight bitterness of the cocoa. This ain’t no milk chocolate....

Committment Issues

When I was Ann Taylor today, I tried this on (in red): Super cute, but I seem to have issues with turtlenecks. I think they actually look flattering on me, but I can’t seem to commit to buying them. I think this is mostly because of the mild strangulation feeling I get while wearing them (although I usually get over this pretty quick). Anyways. I might go back and buy it this weekend.

Dec 13th

Indirim! (It's Turkish, look it up)

So, 30% off EVERYTHING (including sale items) here: and buy one, get the other 1/2 off (including sale items) here: …means that I had some fun (and *relatively* cheap) shopping time today. Oh, happy! Oh, Joy! :-)

In Case You Didn't Know....

I am a nerd. I’m pretty sure that I’m a nerd, and not a geek or a dork. Or maybe mostly nerd and a little bit dork, but definitely not a geek. I’m also fairly outgoing while also an introvert (at least according to the Meyers-Briggs people…I’m an INFP). I thrive on social situations, and I love meeting new people and having new experiences…all the time. At...

Dec 11th

Well..Rounded?

Is it kosher to have a subscription to this: While concurrently having a subscription to this?: Because I think it’s great and should be encouraged. I had both last year :-) And I miss them both a lot this year…*sigh*

Dec 11th

Oh TV...

When I was in college, I didn’t watch much TV. I had a few shows here and there (Dawson’s Creek…even The Real World from time to time), but mostly not. In Law School I watched a lot of what I call “background noise” TV. I wasn’t really attached to most of it (except for LOST, and maybe ANTM), but it was good for when I didn’t want to sit in a quiet...

Big Heavy Books

I am currently reading this: I haven’t touched this book for almost 10 years, but I figured it was time to break it out again and see if I could enjoy it more this time around. I have an aversion to a lot of the books I “read” in high school. This is probably because I didn’t like reading books broken up into chapter groups and then answering questions based on certain...

The Kansas Rectangle. →

How I feel about living in Kansas at this very moment. (Note: I don’t always feel this way about Kansas…but I have my moments. Like now.)

Dec 10th

Oh....

I think Blagojevich is a funny name. And what he did was not so funny, but in a way it is kind of funny because it is so preposterous. That’s all.

Dec 10th

Campbell Brown is my hero!

I heart Campbell Brown. Guys think she’s hot. I just think she’s awesome. It helps that I tend to agree with about 90% of what she says. “No Bias, No Bull.” Amen.

Dec 9th

Watch

Effing Amazing.

Dec 9th

Nice

Wow, I got a lot more traffic on here when I posted my link on gchat today. Awesome. Drop me a comment if you stop by, I’d like to know who’s watching me! Haha.

A fitting farewell

Boston Legal’s series finale was pretty awesome, but I’m sad to see the show go. Of course, there were some ridiculous moments, as always, but that’s the typical brilliance of the show. Now, on to other things!

Dec 9th

Cancelled?!

Probably the best (funniest, most current, most relevant) legal dramedy to air on TV, Boston Legal will air its series finale tonight on ABC. But ABC is lame for cancelling this show. It’s the only legal show I can watch (gimme a break Law & Order!), mostly because it’s so absurd, but also because it goes where other legal shows hardly ever go, and does it well. I’ll...

24-17...meh.

This game was painful. I really thought the Chiefs had this one, and then we let it go. We could have really used this win too. But this photo is priceless. I heart Tony Gonzalez. Four dudes could barely bring him down!

Dec 8th

At last...or not.

Beyonce’ is no Etta. I just saw her perform on Ellen, and she sings ‘At Last’ like…a performance. When you listen to the Etta James version, you can just HEAR her feeling the words, and meaning them. Beyonce’, I love ya, but you weren’t feelin it. And neither was I.

Oldest LOLCat ever. Sweeeet.

In Dreams

Last month I was diagnosed with something called pseudotumor cerebri, which, apparently isn’t rare, but it really came out of nowhere for me. It’s one of the reasons I’m more than a month behind in my plans. Anyways. I’m on a medication called Diamox. It’s a diuretic that also reduces the production of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) and keeps it from building up in my...

A Ph.D. in Horribleness!

I’ll be watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog again tonight before I go to bed. I don’t know how we ever got along before Hulu. Gotta love it!

Dec 5th

Soup

This will be a significant part of dinner tonight. Yes, I just blogged about soup. Soup is among my favorite things of all time, and if you haven’t tried this one, you’re missing out. Num Yummy!

Dear ABCFamily,

I really want to watch this. I don’t want to buy it. ABCFamily only aired through Season 6 before starting over. I didn’t even get into this show until May, and now it’s one of my favorites. Why, ABCFamily, why don’t you air the Seventh Season already?

Dec 5th

My blog looks like a bag of cotton candy exploded. But I like it for now :-) Does it matter that I already have a Xanga (and am one of the last of my friends to still update the thing)? Nope. This is transition in action, and I’m all about it. Here’s the best new thing I’ve seen this week: I heart NPH.
