Let’s talk about weird crushes. For me it’s James Franco, Jeff Goldblum, Denise Richards and Dan Auerbach. Old Danny boy, lead singer of the Black Keys, is one of those eh-looking guys, who get so much sexier the more I hear their music. This song of his came up on my Pandora and I had …
Recently my friend and I visited Powell’s Bookstore in Portland, Oregon and I was on a book high. When walking all around the different rooms, looking at the books on the shelves, my friend and I pointed out good books to each other. “Oh, I’ve read this one. It’s good.” “This one is so funny!” There …
We took a long weekend to visit the place where young people go to retire … This is such a great hippy city. I love everything about it. We went to the farmer’s market where they had giant cinnamon rolls, sheep cheese and even and cute little dinosaur hanging out at the pesto table. Bright …
I believe all gun sales should require a background check. Because mentally ill people don’t need weapons – they need health care. (But that’s an entirely different debate! Am I right, or am I right?) And no one is trying to take away the second amendment rights. But, pertaining to the recent mass shootings, the …
OK. So I realize that I may be bending the rules of “Throwback Thursday” just a little by posting something from 2008. But it was just so good! This YouTube video came out about the same time I started my job as Editorial Assistant at a Phoenix area magazine. I have always been awkward about meeting/working … Continue reading »
Even though Culture Shock: Taiwan was published in 1995 (18 years ago!!! Whaaaaaat!?) and had a few grammatical errors, I wanted to read the book by Chris and Ling-li Bates to get a feel for the Taiwanese culture. Here is a round-up of the best advice and quotes from the “Culture Shock” series book on … Continue reading »
The excitement of moving abroad just took a downturn down realistic alley last night. Man-Beast had a representative from some life insurance company come over. We went over death stuff. Wills. Living wills. Burials … All the fun stuff! The insurance guy asked each of us if we would rather be cremated or buried. “Cremated,” … Continue reading »
Ah, a YouTube classic. This used to be one of my co-workers favs when we took our 3 pm YouTube breaks every day at work. I haven’t watched it since 2008, and I thought it would be fun to revisit. And 17 million views!? Wowzers! {Where do you think this girl is now?} Continue reading »
I wish I were calling Baton Rouge. But instead I’m calling the Center for Disease Control to see what massive amount of shots Man-Beast and I need to get before we move. And maybe since I’m moving to Asia soon, I’m embracing all these cheesy and stereotypical American things like yard flamingos and country music. … Continue reading »
My lovely dino sister Rarasaur hosts Prompts for the Promptless every week and it’s such a clever thing she does. This week, I am finally going to get off the sidelines and actually participate. I love that this week is about alter egos because that’s exactly what my blog is about. Monday through Sunday, for … Continue reading »
Wednesdays can be a little scary. Like when you wake up and think, “Is today Thursday?” And it’s not. Makes you kind of want to react in the same way Zach does in this video. {What has sent you running and screaming in the opposite direction?} Continue reading »
