Well that explains it.
It seems I have been published on The Morning News, the bastion of west coast irreverency and hipster cool.
Which is what I try to be every day, despite living in a square state with no coast and working for a corporation, which is the opposite of hipster cool. But I do own [...]

What we’re doing today
Reminding me why is it, exactly, that I don’t look good with Taraji P. Henson’s hair? Why shouldn’t I cut all my hair off? Can anybody think of a good reason?
Because I can’t.
Other than the fact that I had that haircut once and it looked wretched on me. But no matter! I am stubborn! I [...]

The gift that keeps on giving
So, as previously discussed, I got some sun in Mexico.
I was looking fairly to moderately hot last week.
But now…
My skin is peeling off. I’ve gone from red, to splotchy, to kinda tan, to peeling.
I look not unlike a swamp thing. But only on my stomach, my ankles, and half of one leg.
Let this be a [...]

Saturday Night, Oscar Style
The Scene: a group of friends are at a very noisy bar. An ’80s cover band is playing “Video Killed The Radio Star” and lots of awkward frat boys are slapping each other and high fiving all around the bar. The friends have just been bowling and our young female protagonist is fresh from a [...]

Two fun things: Mexico and The Kings
Goodbye everyone! I’m off to Mexico for the week! I can’t wait to drink a margarita, spend time with the KDs, and stare out into the sea.
As a parting gift, I leave you with the cutest music video ever, from my all-time favorite Norwegian acoustic rock duo. It was tough, choosing my all time favorite [...]

Wednesday’s Delight
Pure heaven is = the new J. Crew catalogue + melty cheese tortilla + the relaxed feeling you get after yoga.
That was Tuesday’s delight. And oh, it was pure delight. J.Crew is my porn (second only to The Economist) and I love to sift through it and imagine how great life would be if only I [...]

Ponderous Maximus Tuesdayemous
What If:
Very wasted college students in off-color bedsheets and craft store greenery, the ones who hold crinkly beer cans and shout “TO-GA! TO-GA! TO-GA!”
Were replaced with:
Very serene 30-somethings in stretch pants and hemp hoodies, the kind who drink out of stainless steel water bottles and shout “YO-GA! YO-GA! YO-GA!”
Ponder:
- Would they actually shout? Or would it be [...]

A Monday Wish
I desire this bike:
I also desire to be Ellen Page. While we’re desiring things, I thought I’d throw that one in there, too.
But I’ll start with the bike.
