I haven't written on here much, because I've never thought of my writing as witty or insightful. Strange for an English major to say, but true. But tonight, I feel a need to express my feelings in a more public way that's still a bit personal ( Read more... )

It only took me almost a year to post again; what's the big deal? ;)

In honor of the release of the fun and exciting Secretariat, I wanted to talk a bit about what's so great about horse racing--and why no other sport really compares. But you know what? Words can't really describe why even non-bettors find themselves parked in front of the TV for ( Read more... )

In a time when explosions and gratuitous sex are the norm in cinema, I decided to take a look back at two icons of the silent film era.

I love me some tennis! The draw is out for the U.S. Open, and the potential matchups are very cool, starting with Rafa Nadal versus Richard "I kiss deep enough to make women vomit copious amounts of cocaine in my mouth" Gasquet.

I was still a little one when Thriller came out, but some of my happiest memories are listening to that casette over and over.

Woo hoo! One of my friends is staying with an old high school friend in D.C., and she called me to tell me how much fun she was having despite the cold. People were cheering or booing the people they saw on the Jumbotron ( Read more... )

I was just watching a clip of the rooftop concert on YouTube and thinking how nice it is to start the new year listening to my boys again. (I call them "my boys" even though two of them aren't here anymore and two are in their 60s, haha.) Bands wish they could be this relevant!

Let It Be the movie is absolutely depressing, but when you watch them ( Read more... )

I do love taking these quizzes. I thought this was interesting, and it definitely pans out. The best part of being in French class in high school was learning about the French impressionists. I actually visited Monet's house in 1999, and it's easy to see where his inspiration came from--the gardens were incredible. :)
