Afraid of showers (And the dark in general)

It’s official. After a particularly arduous workout I wanted nothing more than to jump into the shower, get the steam going and enjoy the fact that there were 15 inches of snow outside and I hadn’t left the apartment since I slogged my way home through the snow the evening before. I have what I [...]

Why skinny jeans suck

Call me a fashion premie, call me a coward, call me old-fashioned. Your insults will bounce off of my gently bootcut jeans that complement me perfectly, unlike the skinny jeans that grace the figures of girls world-wide. Big, small, inbetween, the skinny jean is NOT your friend. Thinking it is only serves to allow you [...]

Carol: The Four-ce Is With Her

My old co-worker and generally ornery yet lovable guy Jason has inducted me into a ‘Four Things Meme’ which roughly translates as a virtual chain letter in my opinion. Thanks for being FIVE years old Jason! Since he tagged me with it on the 27th of May and It is now I think… [...]

Carol’s Update and Apology

To put it bluntly, I got laid off. This happened some time in December, but since the company kept me on through the end of March, I decided to mum’s the word on my recent axing. I’ve been away from ‘conventional’ work now for about a month and a half, scouring job sites, boards and [...]

My Friend Andy

In perhaps his awesomest music video of all time, is my buddy, Andy. I saw this video before I met him, and ever since, I’ve been dying to see it again. So I’m putting this baby up so others can enjoy, and so I don’t have to search youtube for it every time I want [...]

Don’t Care How, I Want It Now: My List of 2K8 Must-Have Video Games

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted with anything more than empty rants about empty celebs at their empty celebration of themselves. Allow me to reiterate: I hate the Oscars. However, now that the cinematic blight is officially out of my head and I can think like a rational person again, I’m back to my normal [...]

Paranormal State: So Spooky, So Addicting

Yesterday was officially a productive day. Being the first weekend after New Years, this was the first weekend in my life that I actually took down my Christmas decorations in a timely manner. Normally it’s some time in February or a member of my family gets fed up waiting and does it without me. But [...]

Farewell, Imperial Gardens: The End of an Era

It’s been 17 years since I’ve been a patron of the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever visited. Located in Stafford, Virginia, Imperial Gardens hosted many of the most important events of my life. Serving a plethora of the tastiest Chinese food on earth, I instantly fell in love with the location. As an 8-year-old kid [...]

Me: I can’t believe jessica alba is preggers. i hope she doesn’t lose that body.
My Husband: i can’t believe someone actually has sex with her without spontaneously combusting because she is soooo hot.
Nicely put.

My Video Game Christmas List. (Hint, Hint)

While piddling around at work during the holiday slump, wishing I could help out more people with things. (Cos I’m that good of a person.) I decided to take my free time and dedicate it to a much more selfish course of action. Writing my video game Christmas list. So without further hullabaloo, I present [...]
