Do they have personal assistants for your emotions?

This probably won’t come as a surprise, but on the whole, I’m totally an introvert.  I think the introvert versus extrovert thing is a sliding scale, and we all have elements of each in us, so where we all fall is really dependent upon each person.  But I know in my heart I’m an introvert.

The Social Network

Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Armie Hammer, & Andrew Garfield I went into this movie expecting to find it interesting, which I did.  What I didn’t expect was how much I ended up liking it.  I was pretty riveted by the whole thing, wanting to know what would happen next, and wondering how come no one ever [… Read More]

People need more manners…

A story in which I go on a rant. I took my dogs out for a walk today, and unfortunately, the landscaping crew happened to still be around with their leaf blower backpacks.  I say unfortunately because when you’ve got two dogs and a limited amount of time to walk them in, interruptions are not [… Read More]

My pop culture take on a tragedy

If you’re anything like me, you heard about this terrible situation in Haiti and you thought “We could totally party with the Haiti-ans”, complete with incorrect pronunciation.  Wait, you say you didn’t think that?  Let me refresh your memory… But on a serious note, I would encourage you to donate to the relief effort if [… Read More]

Keeping up with the Kardashians?

First off, I do not actually watch the show.  But curse you, E! channel, for even introducing the idea of it to me.  And honestly, my TV schedule is so busy I don’t have any plans to add the show to my list. Yet, I find myself inexplicably drawn to those damn Kardashians.  I love [… Read More]

RW/RR Challenge The Duel 2 Recap

I kind of feel like the finale snuck up on me.  I don’t know why, it’s not as though I haven’t watched every week and seen people go, but I was still like “whoa, THIS is the finale?!” I was admittedly pretty sad to see Landon lose that last duel.  It’s tough when it gets [… Read More]

A near television crisis

After a rather busy day, I was pondering what I will do with my evening.  Read some Glamour?  Continue with one of my books or dooce?  Watch some Netflix? Then it occurred to me, right in the middle of these thoughts, that a RW/RR Challenge aired on Wednesday night and I have not yet watched [… Read More]

RW/RR Challenge The Duel 2 – so far

The Duel has been a bit of a rough ride for me, what with losing Ryan, Davis, and Ruthie all within a couple of weeks.  I was heartbroken over Ryan losing, and I really had hoped Ruthie was going to win the whole thing.  Fortunately, some of my faves are still left. I have to [… Read More]

RW/RR Challenge: The Duel 2

So I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love this show.  Nearly all of my favorite cast members are back: Ruthie, Evan, Robin, CT, Ryan, Paula.  Sadly, we have no Coral.  But imagine my surprise to see Mark again!  He retired! I’m quite sad that CT is once again, sent home on the [… Read More]

My reality TV weakness

Anyone who knows my TV habits well could probably attest to me not watching reality TV.  I’m simply not interested. However, I make one exception to this, which is the Real World/Road Rules Challenge.  I absolutely love the show.  Can’t help it.  I eagerly await new episodes when they come on.  I would go so [… Read More]
