I’ve long resisted saying anything about the Florida woman since it has become such a media zoo and I’ve been on the busy and dizzy side thanks to my married boyfriend (a joke, people, a joke). I’ll be brief.
Congress had no business interfering and protesters who insist the national legislature should have done more are [...]
It’s the eve of U2’s latest massive tour. People have already cried, raged, written essays, fought with friends, all before the first note had been played. With all the death and destruction and irritating things on CNN lately, it’s more clear now more than ever why they’re needed so much. Shine on. This moment now, [...]
This is referencing their “The Two Marys” special. It’s billed as a program that will reveal shocking, earth-shaking secrets about Mary, Jesus’ mother, and Mary Magdelene. Oh, the long, apprehensive commercial break!
But then what was this shocking revelation about Mary the Mother? She wasn’t blonde! Stop the presses. Oh, the blasphemy. Gimme a break. Has [...]
Why is “even a child” used so much when trying to make a point? It’s used in a way to illustrate something is so simple, “even a child” can get it. Why? True that children may not know as much as an adult due to their concrete thinking and their limited experience. But they’re not [...]
I’m in awe of their awesomeness etc and all their acceptance speeches were so cute and funny and *cute*. But… I’m beginning to suspect that I may be stupid. Case in point: Springsteen’s induction speech. I didn’t get why people thought it was so funny besides just a general shadow of what he was saying. [...]
I had ideas (the same irrational, fantastic ideas) of my waiting on the sidewalk in New York and seeing Bono and the guys up close and getting pictures and autographs. I had the day off (due to other reasons). I went. But when I got there, all I could do was take a picture of [...]
Here we go again. The transit union’s threatening another strike (a yearly ritual) if they don’t get what they want. And what do they want this time? They don’t want to pay any out of pocket heath care costs, no copays for their health insurance. I pay out of pocket stupid health care costs and [...]
The greatest. Ever. They took it upon themselves. They made a mistake. They admitted it. They fixed it. There will never be another like this band. Ever.
Now I admit I’m a lesser person and that I hold grudges. I still hate the people, the so-called “fans” who thrashed U2 right and left, said they didn’t [...]
I had to post this today as by this time tomorrow I may be in a freezer burnt stage of grief, catatonia. I may not be able to move or speak or clean my apartment before my mother comes to visit and tries to do it for me. I take issue with the following things:
1. [...]
I was at the University of Pennsylvania Museum today to take pictures. I took 64 and filled up the card before I’d really noticed. They’re now at the picturebook section of this site.
The Royal Tombs of Ur has been an awesome exhibit since it arrived a year ago. I heard it was coming down [...]
It’s been building up. There are so many irritating things right now that I’ve meant to post about and I just haven’t done it. The whole OHMYGODTHEBLOGDIED incident didn’t make it any easier to keep up. But here they are: (Firstly, the main purpose of this blog is for my own purpose in keeping things [...]
Read this.
I’m sitting at my desk open-mouthed. It’s a bit too real life. Yes, I admire them. Yes, I’m jealous (at least I can admit it). But this article’s a bit close to home. I loved reading it, but… There’s always this “but”! I don’t know. I’m not making sense. They’re so real, in a [...]
