GiShWhEs 2015 – With A Vengeance

If my first experience with GishWhes (the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen) was Die Hard, and last year was Die Harder, then that would make this installation Die Hard With A Vengeance, right? Not a fantastic metaphor, but still somehow fitting, since this was definitely a scavenger hunt that my team, TeamContinue reading “GiShWhEs 2015 – With A Vengeance”

The Trouble with Blogging (& Also Life)

The trouble with blogging is that sometimes you have everything to write about, and so you put it off. Then, before you know it, you have been on a hiatus for months and you don’t know where to go back.  It is in moments like these that I must remind myself of the true purposeContinue reading “The Trouble with Blogging (& Also Life)”

Putting the Ab[by] into Absentee

Has it really been months since I posted? The date-stamp on my last blogpost seems to show February, but for the LIFE of me, it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. What have I been doing these past few months? It is April, for Pete’s sake. I shall have to write for real sometime in theContinue reading “Putting the Ab[by] into Absentee”

Heart-y Chicken Soup

Last week, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I decided that warm chicken soup was just what I needed to fend off the grumpiness-inducinge snowstorm that was de-railing my evening plans.

I have thus compiled my very first master-post of things I found on the internet that I didn’t even know I wanted, but are absolute perfection. BritishContinue reading “Golden Nuggets From The Internet”

That Awkward Phone Moment…

The phone rings and your caller i.d. flashes the name of a dear one you’ve been particularly bad at keeping in touch with over the past year or so. You stare at the screen and in the course of a few seconds, you must decide whether to answer or not. One one hand, OF COURSE youContinue reading “That Awkward Phone Moment…”

Supernaturally Good

If you, like me, tuned in to watch the 200th episode of Supernatural last night, well. You know. You know that there are no words to describe what ridiculous rip-roaring supernaturally high school musicalish CHUCK-ness that we witnessed. If you didn’t watch it (or you did and understood nothing) . . . well I’m sorry. BUTContinue reading “Supernaturally Good”
