Needing Groceries
I’ve been on the road for most of the past two months, coming home for only a day or two here and there. For the past few weeks, it’s been less than forty hours at a time, often times with a lunch meeting in town, limiting my need to buy groceries. This weekend, however, I’ll […]

No Tomorrow
After hearing some positive recommendations from friends, I started catching up on the show How I Met Your Mother during my travels. Just the other day, I watched an episode from season 3 entitled No Tomorrow in which the main character, Ted, meets his friend Barney at a bar on St. Patrick’s Day and vows […]

How Could You Be So Heartless?
I can’t stand country music. I’m not much of a Taylor Swift fan, but I was so disgusted by Kanye’s actions that I deleted him from my iTunes. I know this won’t affect him much, but I don’t think I want to listen to him anymore. His music right now (even the songs that I […]

The Kindness of Strangers
I listened to episode 75 of This American Life on my flight home to Phoenix last night. Entitled The Kindness of Strangers, the episode took a look at several stories in New York City, a place not exactly known for its hospitality. I found the episode to be incredibly appropriate based on my interactions and […]

The Happiest Pace on Earth (reset button)
I didn’t run the 2009 Disneyland 1/2 Marathon. It’s true. After making it my goal back in late April, I didn’t cross the starting line at 6am. It’s one of the first times I’ve not accomplished a goal–especially one I shared so publicly, but there is a reason. I wouldn’t have actually reached my goal. […]

Mad Men
If we’ve ever had a conversation, you probably know about my love of entertainment. I’m a huge fan of movies and good television shows. I appreciate most film genres (major exception would be Horror as I’m easily scared) and watch a variety of television programs, although I will admit that I limit my viewings of […]

Searching Out the Soundtrack
I finally saw (500) Days of Summer this past week. The film is absolutely incredible and the soundtrack is phenomenal also. I downloaded from iTunes on Wednesday and listened to it twice on my drive from Duluth to the airport yesterday. The soundtrack features two songs from The Smiths: There Is a Light That Never […]

When the Cameras Are Off
A few weeks ago, I read a really positive review of Steve-O: Demise & Rise on Entertainment Weekly’s website. It happened to be on MTV2 last night, so I sat down and watched it. The documentary focuses on the popular member of the Jackass crew as he plummets into a seemingly unending downward spiral of […]

The Happiest Pace on Earth (Day 29)
So this week was all about people. I spent the weekend in southern California with family. My cousins were awesome. Every night they’d say, “Let’s go to the gym.” It’s always nice to workout with someone else. I made it to the gym five times (had two full day drives) this week! I was also […]
