Locks of Love warning
About a year and a half ago, I decided that I wanted to donate my hair to Locks of Love. My hair was way too long, and I figured lopping 10 inches off would be kind of exciting. Mainly, I wanted to so something good and help little kids. Luckily for me, I posted to LJ to ask what salon was the best for it locally, and someone told me that Locks ( Read more... ) -
My nephew
Well, it's been a long time since I wrote anything... I don't even want to think about how long it's been. It sucks to be busy. I guess that won't ever change. I have a dog now, a sweet little chihuahua named Mimi, and that's pretty exciting ( Read more... ) -
Mona Lisa
I always wondered why the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world. It's nice, yes, but there are hundreds that are more beautiful and interesting and painted better.

However, due to the union contract, they STILL HAVE TO PAY THOSE WORKERS. Seriously, it's insanity and I would like to know who at GM ever agreed to these crazy union contracts. My Uncle John worked ( Read more... ) -
The Boston Pops!
As I said, my mom is coming for Thanksgiving, so I was browsing possible things for us to see in New Jersey. At the New Jersey Performing Arts Center's site, I found this in the "About Us" section.
"The artistry on view at NJPAC has been breathtaking, the diversity of the performances unparalleled -- from Itzhak Perlman to 'N Sync, Lauryn Hill to ( Read more... ) -
NYC Thanksgiving
My mum is coming to NYC to visit starting on Tuesday. I just got to see her for three weeks a bit ago, so I don't miss her THAT much yet, but I do miss her of course and I'm looking forward to the visit a LOT. She was going to bring a friend, who backed out because she thought she would have a job during Thanksgiving (which of course she doesn't ( Read more... )
