This is going to be a very random post coming to you at a very random time, but there are two videos that I want to share with you. Two videos that I think everyone should see once in their lifetime. The first is amusing. The second is important (but also amusing.) #1: Even if you … Continue reading Mini Post About Nothing #23: Some Things You Should See

5 Things That Feel Like the End of the World But [Probably] Aren’t
I've been compiling a list of these things for a little while now as they occur to me, and I thought I would share them with you. If you could experience the frustration of at least one of these things with me, I would greatly appreciate it. So I know I am not alone living … Continue reading 5 Things That Feel Like the End of the World But [Probably] Aren’t
Terrors of a Tower and a Whole Bunch of Other Nonsense
This is it. The last tale in the Theme Park Chronicles. Not that I have been calling it that this entire time, I just thought it sounded pretty intense for the last bit. Chronicles is such a meaty word, don't you think? Pretty epic. But that is so not the point of anything right now. … Continue reading Terrors of a Tower and a Whole Bunch of Other Nonsense
Water Rides Should Be Well-Marked
“Are we really going to ride this?” I ask, not even attempting to hide the skepticism in my voice as I stare up at the little fish swimming in a mechanical circle above us, lifting and dropping at the will of the steel arms parading them through the sky. The colors are vivid, abrasive against … Continue reading Water Rides Should Be Well-Marked
Pretty, Pretty Dr. Smith…and the Not So Pretty Ones
I went to the doctor yesterday to make sure all of my vaccinations were up-to-date before I go overseas this summer. On average, my annual trip to the doctor goes something like this: Put aside three hours. The first hour will be spent waiting to get into an actual room (versus just the waiting room). Oops, … Continue reading Pretty, Pretty Dr. Smith…and the Not So Pretty Ones
Mini Post About Nothing #19: I Am the Mockingjay! (And Why the Olympics Make Me Feel Inadequate)
I AM ALL POWERFUL! ~Rupee So Rupee just put in her two weeks at her place of employment (let's just say it's a restaurant from "down under"--if that doesn't give it to you, I don't know what will). After she quit Friday and the word started spreading around, a much larger group of wait staff, … Continue reading Mini Post About Nothing #19: I Am the Mockingjay!

More Things That Shouldn’t Have Been Invented
Why do I always get the math teachers who can't speak English? No offense to them, it doesn't mean they aren't good at what they do, they're just not good at doing it in English. Or maybe it's me (it's probably me) since I hardly understand math in the first place. Try to teach me … Continue reading More Things That Shouldn’t Have Been Invented
Crazy Campus Tales From a Far Off Place
Hi all 🙂 It's been a while since I've posted one of these and I do apologize for that. Unfortunately, it's that time of year again. Time to move back into a cramped dorm with smelly people, ugly carpeting, and a backbreaking load of work. Ha, yeah right. The people are only smelly sometimes. No, … Continue reading Crazy Campus Tales From a Far Off Place
What Makes a Good Scary Movie Scary?
What makes a good scary move? Ghosts, goblins, aliens, demons, hot people, utter terror? I've been working on a new series: dissecting the plotlines of t.v. shows, books, and movies to form an ultimate theorem of how writer's write, and how we can predict exactly what's going to happen next. You can see my first … Continue reading What Makes a Good Scary Movie Scary?
Life as a Disney Kid: Drunks Talk Disney
So the other day when I found myself around some slightly tipsy folks, I thought: oh, what a better time for an interview? Right? And not just any interview, but an interview about Disney! Who tells the truth better than a drunk person? The following interview is one that I held (while sober--I fell like … Continue reading Life as a Disney Kid: Drunks Talk Disney
