Summer Playlist

I am deleting Starbucks songs that I don’t like.  Unfortunatley (or fortunately?), that’s a lot of them.  There are only a few that I really like. I used to look up the songs and listen to them before I bought them, but I got lazy and don’t do that anymore.  Now they’re cluttering my computer.  [...]

Newsies.

I figured out how to take screenshots. Fun, yes?

The Magazine of Life, the Universe, and Pie Throwing

Every month I wait impatiently for my newest issue of Muse Magazine to arrive.  That’s the one by Cricket Publishing, not to be confused with the fashion magazine MUSE.  Muse is filled with science, research, randomness, and these little margin characters called – you guessed it – the Muses.  Kokopelli, Bo, Pwt, Aeiou, Chad, Craww, [...]

If you’re thinking that I look incredibly rockstarish, then you’re darn [...]

Random Haiku of the Day, pt. 2

Lights are bright, festive
During this time of the year
I sing French carols.

Hilary Duff

I admit it.  I listen to Hilary Duff CDs.  Yes.  It’s true.  I have three of her CDs and I occassionally listen to them on the computer.  Because I still lurve my tween pop.  What can I say?  They make me smile because they’re so boppy.  They’re a nice escape from the moody angst ridden [...]

I am hip, urban
Since I ride the city bus
Home from my college.
