I remember in fifth grade, we had to write a list of things we wanted to do by the time we were twenty.   Number one on my list? To meet Ann M. Martin, the author of the Babysitter’s Club books. I wish I was I was kidding, because it might be less embarressing that way, [...]

Cleaning out my camera with some visual gems. Sis and I were coming back from the grocery store when she snapped this for me. Good thing we were all on a highway, or we might not have been able to see him. Whew. I went with my mom last Saturday to a local place called Romeo’s. [...]

The sky looks too blue in the picture, but no Photoshop here. S’not how I roll. More fun with the car radio! Yesterday I’m driving to work and in my half-sleep daze,  the early ’80s CLASSIC “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” waifes through my car radio. So of course I’m singing along, in the way that [...]

Location: The car Characters: Sis and I Key elements: The car radio and my naivee self On our way to the grocery store, last summer’s club hit ”Promiscuous” plays over the radio. The song taps out its beat and the lyrics row along… blah blah, promiscuous girl, blah… yadda yadda roses are red… blah blah so does [...]

Thursday, I was in the bank drive-thru, taking out money. The radio station was playing “People Are Strange” by the Doors and I really like that song so it was exceptionally loud. My car window was down and Jim Morrison’s tenor echoed in the tunnel-like area. The only other vehicle was a mother and young daughter in [...]

You’ll find a little bit of everything.  First, if you haven’t watched this, do so: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZC1jiwKMHc] I went with a friend of mine to Advance Auto Parts the other day. Car stores are so masculine. In high school I actually applied at an AAP because they were hiring, but I was a little glad I didn’t get hired [...]

I’ve been in one of those weird blah moods lately, where I go from sleeping twelve hours a night to three to six, so my clock is all out of wack. I have newspaper deadlines to attend to, so until I can give you substance, please gorge yourself on this greatness. Thank you, PopCandy. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1ZQoE1fdgY]

I made dinner tonight– meatloaf with potatoes, carrots, and celery. Very All-American. I’m pulling a Raymi and showing the world my cooking skills. It was a hit. I’ve been having massive chocolate cravings all day, so I whipped up something much later at night than I should have. Plain yogurt mixed with Cool Whip, bananas, and [...]

I was back at the library again Tuesday, this time filling out a job application. I figured I like books, I like the library despire the heat, and it’s not far from my home, so why not. While trying to remember how one of my internships is described on my resume, my eyes wandered, daydream-like, [...]

What kind of girl takes pictures of her local library? A nerdy one, that’s who. Enjoy. The Carnegie Free Library is old and not particularly big, with a large, half-circle wooden desk. There’s a matching large wooden staircase but I neglected to photograph it. Whoops. It’s not air conditioned so in the summer it can be brutal. Walking in, the [...]
