Oops. I let a whole year go by without writing anything. And this after declaring that I would post things no matter how short. After acknowledging that something didn’t have to be a novel to be worthy of posting. I let myself down, but more importantly, I let you, my two readers, down. I am sorry. I will do better (probably…maybe…I hope…we’ll see). For now, … Continue reading I Missed 2017
Getting ready for a Christmas party and being pretty confident in your new holiday dress: Actually being at the party: Continue reading Christmas Party: Expectations vs Reality
Christmas Crush (2012) It’s Christmas night now, and you might be feeling quite jolly. Perhaps you’re full of turkey and mashed potatoes. Maybe you’re admiring your festive decorations, or snacking on whatever holiday cookies you have left, or you may even be listening to your favourite Christmas carols one last time. One thing is for sure, though, Christmas is nearly over. If you’re not quite … Continue reading Worst Holiday Movie Ever?
Growing up, Halloween is the be-all-end-all of holidays. Dress up! Candy! Staying up late! What more could a kid ask for? My parents helped to always make Halloween amazing by making our costumes for us. My brother and I never had store bought anything for Halloween, partly because I think my parents didn’t want to spend the money on them, and partly because store bought … Continue reading Halloween Through the Ages
A French company has patented your worst nightmare. For reasons yet unknown to the public, someone/someones thought it would be a good idea to design a new seating plan for planes. Presumably to get more people on every flight. Presumably to reduce air fares (because that pesky weight limit we’ve been told about apparently doesn’t really exist). Presumably these someones don’t ever intend on flying … Continue reading This Is Your Nightmare
The classic ‘90s romantic comedy film Pretty Woman recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its release in theatres on March 23, 1990. (Okay, not that recently, but would you believe I started writing this post three months ago?) I decided that, in light of this special occasion, I’d re-watch the movie. I can’t even remember the last time I watched it. Probably the last time I … Continue reading Me & Pretty Woman
The internet is going crazy over new photos of Jennifer Lawrence with her bodyguard, Handsome McGingham-shirt (real name Greg Lenz). And I’m on board. He seems like a catch: he carries your dogs, your bags, and he’d probably carry you over a large puddle if need be. But the best and least talked about thing of this whole hype is that in one of these pictures … Continue reading The Bodyguard
Along an icy winter sidewalk, edged by snow banks on either side, a little girl, walking with her mother and brother, slips and falls. Her equally little brother looks at her and says “Walk it off! Walk it off!” He offers his hand, she refuses. She stands up wearily but is still visually upset by the tumble. This time her bother says, “Shake it off!” And when … Continue reading A Winter Scene
In a shockingly anti-internet sentiment, the website Pinterest all but declared that it hates cats. Below is a screen shot from their Animal board, on which they categorize/assemble all pinned content that is about animals and/or things for animals. As you can clearly see, the Animal category is further divided into sub-categories/related interests, which include, among other things, dogs, puppies, and pugs. Furthermore, three of the … Continue reading Pinterest Hates Cats
