I love the Foodnetwork.  It has empowered me to step into the kitchen and loose the fear.  I just made up something that, if I may say so myself, is the best damn thing i have ever made in the kitchen.  I felt like eating something new...believe it or not, I'm tired of eating the same thing every week.  Well, we went to Sam's yesterday and ( Read more... )

Does anybody know what happened to the creativewriter community?

What's going on with the Simpsons?  Is the creative fuel just evaporating away?  They are now using cheap humor that isn't even worth it.  All the sharp, intelligent, post-modern humor has gone bad.  They better start bucking up.  If the series are getting bad...imagine how the movie will be?  This isn't looking good.

Two semesters ago I did this inventive model for my Intro. to Textual Analysis class.  It involves Way to Rainy Mountain's method of including myth, history, and personal anecdotes and interlacing them in one text.  The author would do once chapter on Native American myth, then follow that chapter with history, and then with a chapter on personal ( Read more... )

Ok, I think I have the right to brag.  I worked my ass off this semester and I harvested what i sowed.  I got a freakin 4.0 man!  My first 4.0 in college.  I'm so proud of mysell ;]  When I decided to take five classes this semester, I pictured myself cracking under stress and dropping one like last semester...but I didn't.  I stuck to my guns and ( Read more... )

Ok, so The DaVinci Code comes out tommorow, and as a Catholic I tell you: Go and do whatever the hell you want.  I just don't understand the tactics of the Church.  The story, as the novel says, is FICTION.  Why are we getting all worked up over FICTION?  The only thing the Vatican is doing by asking the ban of the movie is to make publicity for it ( Read more... )

Stupid drama television...it manipulated my feelings today.  I watched Grey's Anatomy's Season Finally, first time I watch Grey's Anatomy.  Stupid show lured me into investing two hours of my life...and then repayed me with sappy, unfair, tv drama crap.  I'm not saying it wasn't good; it's just that I don't like my feelings being messed with by TV ( Read more... )

Oh My God!  Jimmy Kimmel got bitten by a freakin rattle snake.  It was a huge monster looking snake.  They had it restrained with clamps but it still got him.  He was at distance, when he pointed his finger and said, "What does it mean when it rattles like that." Then...WHAM!  It hit him.  They took him to the hospital and everything.  It was crazy ( Read more... )

This past Friday I went to a Chinese buffet with my friends. I had been craving Chinese, since I was reading Memoirs of a Geisha. The more I think about, the more I come to realize how stereotypical I can be. First of all, why was I craving Chinese food when the book was set in Japan? Well, I guess it was just the Oriental exoticness that we ( Read more... )

I saw this documentary on Chernobyl and it inspired this.  I hope you like; if not, that's fine.  So, here it goes:
