That's right, March 8th marked the "historic demonstration of the first CD prototype codenamed 'Pinkeltje' on March 8th, 1979." Well congratulations, compact disc, I almost forgot you were still here. While many would argue that the CD is on its way out in favor of smaller, highly portable MP3 files...

You know how people always say that if your palm is itchy it means you have money coming your way? Well I never understood this because my palms are itchy all the time and all that comes my way in the form of money is a ten cent Euro coin laying at the bottom of my bra drawer. But last night I was t...

HEY!! I don't even know if I'm allowed to be posting this, but Shmoop just gave me a damn JOB! Writing about POETRY! I am going to GET PAID to write about POETRY!

It takes forever, I'm a procrastinator, and I've been super busy with school lately. So Thomas is back. I mean, he never physically left, but now I feel (and I'm s...

Ahhh, where to begin. The beginning sounds good, right~? XD Got into Penn Station around 4:30, I have no idea how I made it through class that day, honestly. xDD When I got off the subway, I expected to be wandering around for a good 20 minutes lost, then calling Aki to have her help me find the pla...

One day Dale Lyle got a speeding ticket in the mail issued by one of those automatic ticketing cameras. It claimed he was doing 98MPH in his 14-year old Honda Civic, a car he insisted could only do 85MPH max on a downhill slope with a tailwind. So what did he do? He did what any badass would do -- h...

Thanks, all, for turning out yesterday and letting me know you are here. Admittedly, I'm feeling a tiny bit embarrassed now. But, it was so much fun to "see" everyone, check out some new blogs, and hear why you're here. There were a few surprises, too. People I know in real life that read my blog (t...

...so, even though this is 3 months later, I am going to post a little bit about seeing Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet- in New York City on October 13th, 2008. I wrote stuff down in my notebook that night, so I'm not pulling this from thin air, I have notes!! XDD I remember. It was a Monday. That ...
