I just saw (well, I say 'saw', I mean 'lived through') one of the worst films I have ever seen. No words of mine could ever convey the true terror of this horror film, so I will leave it to this online critic who while also being completely honest about just how bad this film is, is also funny too....
There was a cloudy sky that day in the Russian countryside. I’ll never forget that train ride from St. Petersburg on its way to Moscow with the villages passing by. It felt as if they were moving, not the train. The occasional sway to the left or to the right reminded me that I was on a train,...
2.18.08 I’m in kind of an odd mood. Today started off badly and at the time, it felt like a bad omen for the week. Ok, it’s slightly melodramatic to say that it started off badly because the “it” to which I am referring is simply my breakfast. As I have recently mentioned, I have a banana...
For some reason I have been procrastinating getting this letter out. So, today I will share with you PART I our most interesting adventure so far in S.E. Asia (I will break it up so that this is not too long and boring, and also, so I can get part of it out). Over our long winter break (the children...
On the plane, you’re all excited. You need to contact some of your Japanese penpals so you can meet up with them. The flight attendant notices your new to the airlines and speaks to you. “You’re first time going to Japan?” She was friendly and smiling a lot. “Yes. I will be there for a...
"I believe everyone is [political], even you're apolitical, that's a political man. I'm a living creature, how can I not be political?" Apparently, a few years after this interview was made, both Amy Goodman and Bernard White were forced from their jobs for reasons that probably have to do with...

Question: If I made a group on Facebook dedicated to Mindy Kaling/Things I've Bought That I Love, would you guys join? And then post all your favorite Mindy Kaling quotes on the wall? If you have any suggestions for the group title (all I have so far is "Things I've Bought That I Love is my Bible,...
Day Eight. I woke up approximately three hours after snuggling into my temporary futon. Within minutes of waking up, I had cleaned the room and left in time for checkout. I went back to Kita Osaka to pass the next hour in the shower and reclined on a nice leather chair with a computer. Same internet...
In Light of New Evidence I have never run a 10k. The idea of six miles of pounding pavement appeals to me about as much as a waist-down hot waxing. Until October, it was easy enough to avoid. No one asked me to run 10ks, and I never volunteered. Then something changed. In small Lucida Grande type,...
Product and price hunting I finally came to a decision about my ... much anticipated purchase of a new camcorder. I'd had this new camcorder in mind for quite a while. Granted, not at all this particular model, but certainly something somewhat similar. Most people who know me know I go on a "seek...
I finally figured out how to get the photo's off my HandyCam and onto my computer. (Actually, my husband found out how to get the photos off my HandyCam and onto my computer *blush*) A grand majority of the pictures I took were while we were in motion (driving) and so they turned out a little...
Kung hei fat choi ( a little late but nevertheless!) Year of the Rat .. don't know if this is a good year for me or what ... they had loads of decorations in different malls. I liked these rats in front of Times Square. They have cute little derriers. We stopped by krispy kreme and saw this little...
Bouchon. Sunday morning in Napa Valley - day 2 of our weekend stint - found us standing line nice and early(ish) at the Bouchon Bakery. Another Thomas Keller restaurant, Bouchon's reputation also precedes itself, but I figured that since this weekend was TFL weekend, adding Bouchon to the list was...
