I believe that when I wake up in the morning I should be allowed to think one of two things in order to will myself out of bed: (1) I know it’s early, but you’re getting paid today. Remember how broke you are? Oh and those kids are pretty awesome. Get up. Get your coffee. […]
While I was in college I did a lot of tie-dye. More tie-dye than one would expect from my school. It is a fairly liberal institution, but it’s hardly the artsy-fartsy tree-hugger mecca one would expect from my college tie-dye wardrobe. For GW students, this tie-dye is readily explained by the amount of time I […]
I have no idea why I try to blog about anything other than how ridiculous my family is. This blog should really just be a chronicle of the random things we/they do. I love when my friends meet my family. At my Rocky Horror cast party last Halloween, my little brother showed up around 1 […]
Today is not actually August 13th. It’s actually November 13th, but I’m really bad at dates and times and things because life after college is really hard so we are going to pretend it’s August 13th. So on this day (August 13th) in 1960 the CAR declared independence from France. August 13, 2008 was the […]
“I can’t remember the last time I went to a bar. I also can’t remember the last time I got drunk.” Things I said Thursday evening: both of those statements. Things that are no longer true: both of those statements. I have decided that maybe everyone else I know doesn’t want their business all over […]
IT’S HALLOWEEN! This is one of my favorite holidays and I could tell you all about why, but that’s not the purpose of this post. Today is not only Halloween, but it’s also October Bloggerstock day. You can find my post professing my undying devotion to this magical holiday over at the lovely Seen and […]
In my last post I said that my sister chickening out bothered me because of the sense of personal responsibility I feel for her awesomeness. This is true. It’s my parents’ job to make sure she becomes a well-adjusted, well-educated, contributing member of society. It’s my job, as her sister, to make her awesome. It’s […]
In the few months that this blog has been in existence, I have dedicated a significant amount of space to discussing the awesomeness of my little sister. She can be really awesome sometimes. Except for all the times that she is not. Saturday night was one of those times. With our parents out of town […]
This month’s Blogger Carnival asks bloggers to post their best travel adventure and potentially win a sweet language course from LiveMocha. (If you take the 2 minutes to sign up — for free — using that link, you can actually hook me up with some free stuff from LiveMocha. Just saying…) Given that 85% of my awesome happy times […]
If the world is trying to tell me to drive less, it should really consider reevaluating its tactics, since I am a little slow when it comes to these things. Yes, I understand that ridiculous catastrophes keep happening. No, I don’t see how driving less is the answer. My brain cannot compute that possibility. It’s […]
