So I finally watched Paranormal Activity (which is the Blairwitch Project for this generation) and I just can’t seem to get this particular scene out of my head where she gets dragged out of bed and down the hallway, screaming. You don’t see what happens, so you just assume the worst. And by worst, my [...]

Voila! I updated the about section… and it took me a fair long while just to complete my favorites. I really do think in many ways, my life revolves around what I do and like and think rather than “who I am”. Which is odd, because it’s an “about” section but I really can’t think [...]

So apparently, scientists have had some modest success in their fight against the so-called AIDS epidemic. Since the AIDS scare in the late 80′s and 90′s, the scientific community have scrambled to find a vaccine or cure with little to no success but this new little vaccine has proved to be about 30% effective. What [...]

You know how we roll our eyes when we hear old people talk about the awesome time they had when they were growing up? About how the world was better and the music was actually good? I’m becoming one of them. Not the eye-rollers, no. The other group. The yesteryear naggers. The nostalgia junkies. I’m [...]

So everyone these days is either a Starbucks lover (“Fair Trade! They are awesome! I get free internet and meet hot girls when I go there!”) or a Starbucks hater (They kill local mom & pop shops! They’re evil mega-corporate vampires that eliminate the competition with dirty guerrilla tactics!) but at the end of the [...]

Howdy reader (I always assume there’s only one reader – which is technically true, unless it’s being viewed with more than one at a monitor… which also begs the question; does a website really exist if no one has seen it? hmm…)! I’m happy to report I’m 90% better now. I’ve decided to quantify it [...]

*Whine whine whine whine whine sneeze whine whine* Now that I’m done whining about being sick and sniffly, I’ve decided to share with my readers (yes – all two of you who don’t cook) my ultra-secret recipe for Cherry Tomato & Garbanzo Bean Salad. It’s one of my favorite dishes to make when I’m sick [...]

Okay, so most of us like to feel like a good Samaritan now and again by purchasing some product or another touting some sort of cause. I mean, why not? It makes a buying useless items somehow a tad bit more justifiable and we can feel like we made a contribution to the betterment of [...]

Okay, so now apparently I’m down with a sore throat and fever (all this in less than 24 hours) which I most probably got frome my roommate. Which perplexes me since we haven’t been in such close proximity all weekend, really. Such bad timing, too, I was expecting it to be a productive week (no, [...]

Okay, so I was talking to a friend about how beauty-centric our society still is even after all these years. You’d think that in 2009, we’d be a lot more forward-thinking, mature and less superficial about the issue but really, at the end of the day, we are still the homo sapiens (sans sapiens) that [...]
