QOTD: It’s November 11, 2011! Did you wish for anything at 11:11? Before anything else, I just want to congratulate the UNC Tar Heels for their AWESOME win against MSU (67-55).

Dear readers, bliggity bloggers, and anybody else reading this, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! I cannot believe we are already in the Turkey Day-Buy $50 Laptops Day-Shiny Lights & Hot Cocoa triangle….most of the time when Turkey Day comes ’round, my thoughts are on the food. My signature mac & cheese. Mom’s onion and carrot stuffing (and homemade […]
Question of the Day: What is one quirky habit, hobby, or hidden talent you have that not many people know about you? As you all know, I am doing National Novel Writing Month. Earlier, I was having a mild argument with my Main Character, but we just made up. :) Basically, she thinks the last […]
Question of the Day: What did you do last summer? xD So my Halloweekend was GREAT! Sort of… Michael and I hung out at my apartment, watching episodes of Smallville (of course), comparing favorite quotes, and eating chocolate upcakes. Yes, CUPCAKES. Mmmmm. The sad part of Halloween was that no kids came to knock on […]
Question of the Day: What is the most outrageous, silliest, or most unique costume you’ve ever worn out for Halloween in the past? HAPPY HALLOWEEKEND! First of all, I must say that NaNoWriFri (National Novel Writing Friday) went well! It was a very small turn-out, but Michael and I met some really neat folks living […]
Question of the Day: Are you into math and science or are you more of a humanities and literary arts type of person? Or are you a mixture of both? If so, why do you think that is? EEK! I am SO excited for National Novel Writing Month I can hardly think of words to […]

At the end, I said “baby steps, that’s all it is,” and the moment I published that post I could already hear fellow readers saying EASIER SAID […]

#DailyWings: “I’m a story-teller. I tell stories. In some stories, I am the story. But the story transcends me. How? Hear my stories.” –Guy at your J-school Happy November! It’s taken me a while, but I’ve finally finished putting together this blog post about my experiences at Columbia Journalism School (as promised), along with several nuggets […]
#DailyWings: “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” ― Charles M. Schulz I am really excited about today’s edition of “The SELF Diet,” mainly because this was the first dish that made me actually love cooking. This dish, a lemon-garlic spaghetti piccata, was inspired by a recipe for “Linguine with Tuna, […]
#DailyWings: “Life has many ways of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.” -Paulo Coelho A person’s mood is like the waves of an ocean, a cosine graph. It fluctuates in a gradual manner. We all have our bad days, brought forth by a […]
