I went to Puerto Rico last month, and it was the first time I had ever been to a Spanish speaking country/US territory. So, suck on that, everyone in high school who said French wasn't as "practical." Anyway, I went with my friend Sara without an H, who takes great delight in setting me outside of my comfort zone. I decided the joke was on her, ( Read more... )

So The Office redeemed itself a little this week. The Michael/Pam trip was pretty solid, and nothing strayed outside of what I expected from the characters. I'm mainly just mad that they've forgotten how to be a half-hour comedy and have to "be continued." Jim/Dwight/Kelly all made sense to me, and I was glad that I had guessed right - that it ( Read more... )

Ok, enough already, I'm sick of The Office not making any sense! Could someone please explain to me where Ryan is? Sometimes he's there, sometimes he's not. Then, I suppose after he dumped Kelly, he disappeared pretty permanently without having it explained ( Read more... )

If you're like me, you didn't think you'd be that into this movie. I went more out of a desire to see the "Oscar" movies than a desire to enjoy a movie. Plus, I needed a break from WW2 films. But it was really great! I laughed SO MUCH at this movie, you wouldn't believe it. And the packed house did too, so it wasn't just me being weird. While ( Read more... )

I'm FAR from the fastest runner. I'm actually closer to the slowest runner, I imagine. During sophomore year of high school, this seemed to bother my Cross Country coach, Coach Clark. Go figure (or as we said in high school, making fun of a girl I overheard once, Go Fig!) But still, Coach Clark's main problem with me was that I somehow ( Read more... )

There will be few times in life when I will be actually pleased with myself, so I feel like memorializing this one. Sue me ( Read more... )

I'm pretty gosh darn proud to be an American today, but that was even before the results were in. I mean, we did get to enjoy the right to vote, didn't we? So it wasn't like we could come out of the day without feeling at least good about that ( Read more... )

Blerg! I'm all for less sex on TV, but really, people. We can use this kind of argument for eating habits and cancer - not for teen's decisions and "influences." Stop trying to prove the unprovable.

I was doing a little research on the origin of the term "yellow dog Democrat" as I've been called that all my life...anyway, it ended up making me think about what I stand for and why I'm so blind to other people's opinions on the matter ( Read more... )

So, I'm weird, and sometimes there's just no explaining things to me. One such topic: why people like to watch things ( Read more... )
