Last week, I joined the ranks of World of Warcraft fiends, teenage boys, and overall comic book lovers for the midnight showing of The Dark Knight.  I didn’t really have any expectations going into this film, but my sister and her friends assured me that it would be worth the missed sleep.  (more…)

Okay, so I’m sick and tired of shaving…I don’t want to spend the money to get waxed in a salon, and I can’t afford the laser hair removal for my entire body…sooooo….what’s a girl to do? Well, what I did was drive to the Walmart Supercenter to explore my options. (more…)

Last week I had the pleasure of attending an acoustic performance by pro-surfer-turned-musician Timmy Curran at Quiet Flight in Cocoa Beach, FL.  I’ll admit, I didn’t want to go at first because I was fairly certain it would consist of whining about “finding your perfect wave”….my boyfriend makes me watch waaay too many surf movies!  But I was really pleased when he opened his mouth and not only sounded great, but was poetic as well. The entire set was just about 45 minutes but it was very relaxing and beautiful to listen to. If you like Jack Johnson, he doesn’t sound anything like him….but they have a somewhat similar style.  You can check out his website for free downloads, and his album comes out July 22! www.timmycurran.com You can also check out where he’ll be next on his acoustic tour, he is playing at a few surf shops around the country.

This is by far the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life…..and I have seen my dog try to bury a bone in imaginary dirt on my bed.  If you are dumb enough to stick a laser in your eye, you deserve the resulting blindness and pirate eye patch that will no doubt follow step 4.

(Editor’s note: My favorite is the asterisk next to “painless procedure.”)

Translation: lately I have just seen one-too-many terrible movies.  I do my duty as a film buff and see as many flicks as I possibly can at any given time, but I think it is safe to say that this summer has disappointed so far. (more…)

It’s been a while, but here I am with some jewels of wisdom for you: my boyfriend recently started carrying around this metal water bottle because he’s a hippie and is trying to save the environment by not using plastic bottles and….whew, gotta take a breath…..then I realized how financially rewarding it would be to not purchase bottled water each and every friggn day…$2 for a bottle of water!!! COME ON!  So I searched and searched and could not find one!  Well guess what? His mom, who is a saint by the way, went and got me one from the same place she got his….Pottery Barn! I’ve never set foot in a Pottery Barn and you don’t have to either They’re selling them online for $7 which is pretty sweet considering they’re usually $10.  Anyway, I’ve been using mine for a few days, and I love it! Plastic bottles smell funny after a few days (even if you wash them…it’s nasty) but this one seems to be holding up pretty well so far.  The Nalgene ones kinda gross me out too.  So if you’re a hippie/cheapskate/germaphobe, go check it out…it comes in pretty colors
