Sometimes I wonder if mail in rebates are really worth all that trouble. I just mailed one out today for my contact lenses and I'll bet my rebate they have people jumping through these hoops just for kicks. First you have to visit their website, fill out a "little" survey, fill out a form with every tidbit of your information, make a copy of the ( Read more... )

Peter hosted another superbowl party this year and as always, when it comes to any of our gatherings concerning food, everyone brought too much food. I didn't want to say anything while I was there, but I think we might have overdone it on the bacon. As per usual, the chicken nuggets were present, with a plethora of sauces from which to choose. I ( Read more... )

There is this guy whom I've only met once, but I suppose I made such an impression (no surprise there because I am awesome) that he facebooked me. Normally I wouldn't confirm... BUT his profile pictures are so funny. Not in a hey-I-know-I'm-funny-so-I'm-going-to-go-ahead-and-be-funny-sort-of-way. Rather it's more like a I-love-my-face-and-let-me- ( Read more... )

I just spent the evening baby sitting my cousin's two kids so that she and her husband could have a night out. Ok how pathetic is this: I'm 24 years old and this is the first time I have ever watched over someone else's offspring unsupervised.

If only I wasn't so behind in the times, then I'd actually have other current readers to ( Read more... )

Ok so it's known I like to bake. Well, while browsing for lab jobs on craigslist one night, I came across a listing from a bakery here in San Jose looking for interns. They aren't offering any form of compensation; it is purely a learning experience. So I thought, why not. I'm done with med school apps, I'm only working part time, and let's face it ( Read more... )

For the first time ever, I drove myself over to Crossroads with a bag full of clothes I no longer wear, to see if I could sell them for lunch money. They bought ONE red cardigan for $2.80. I paid at least $20 for it! Ugh it bitterly reminded me of Davis' Bookstore at the end of each quarter where I would go to sell back my books for a fifth of what ( Read more... )

Wouldn't want to be standing in the middle of all that glass especially when Champagne (my kryptonite--second to tequila) is involved.
