Places that live in my mind

The two different houses my best friend lived in, the halls of my elementary school, my parents’ house: these are the places that live in my mind, the locations I visit each night in my dreams.  And, though sometimes the dreams take place throughout the house or the school, often its the same rooms or halls popping up [...]

When you reach Nirvana, there will be no “Questions of the Day”.

Today’s question is, “Is there a time period in which you weren’t alive, but that you feel drawn to for a reason you can’t explain?  Do you think you lived during that time in a past life or do you have another reason for why you think you are drawn to it?”
There are two eras [...]

Guilty Pleasures

This is another one from 43Things.com.  There’s a group of people on that site (me included) who post random questions daily for other people to answer.  They’re usually about likes and dislikes, trivia, etc.  The question I posted today was, “What is your favorite guilty pleasure movie, book, and song?”

Rubycon

The first time I decided to start a blog was last year sometime.  It was totally short lived and by the time I got back to it month’s later, I didn’t remember the password and there was some WordPress glitch that kept me from retrieving it, so I was unable to add anything new.  That’s when [...]

Just Don’t Do It!

I have never been a very competitive person, and in some ways I think that’s good. I’ve always looked at ultra-competitive people as a bit foolish—when they’re throwing a fit over losing a game of Trivial Pursuit, for instance. But, then you watch the Olympics and you see the amazing results an ultra-competitive [...]

The world is your Prince Edward Island’s oyster

I found this question on 43 Things (listed under the goal “post random questions every day and see who will play along with me”) and thought it was really fun.
“If you could take pieces fo different countries to make your very own country, what would you take from where?”  My answer is:
I’d take Italy’s cuisine [...]

All Most Fameless

I read an article about Gwyneth Paltrow once in which she claimed that every famous person knows from childhood that someday they will be famous.  I imagine her taking a poll of the people in her life: Madonna, Chris Martin, Stella McCartney (nary a control subject in the bunch.)  She seemed tickled and amazed at [...]

Her crow’s feet are making me hot!

I started my morning by reading this article by Douglas Coupland (www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25847518/) that is all about how men have two ages: the age they really are and the age they perceive themselves to be.  I guess men are shocked (shocked!) when they look in the mirror and appear older than they think they are in [...]
