Tuesday, May 13th, 2008Today NotMartha posted this Metafilter link about a crazy Mannequin in a department store TV show from the 80s. Well, this is the second time that the show Today’s Special has come across my thoughts in the past few weeks. My mom also forwarded this email that had a list where you [...]
Sesame Street for Adults
Friday, May 9th, 2008On Tuesday night, we went to see Avenue Q at the Progress Energy Performing Arts center in Raleigh. Oak even came because there was promise of inappropriate behavior by puppets. Let’s just say we were not disappointed. I’ve never laughed so much at a Broadway show (besides some sleep-deprived giggle [...]
All Web 2.0 and stuff
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Yeah, so I know Web 2.0 is like Soooo 2006. In case you haven’t noticed my blog is no longer on the bleeding edge of social networking technologies. For awhile there in college, I had to have the latest blog software, with the coolest bloggy toolness and ring a things. Those days are [...]
My virtual pet
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008After Christmas, Skye gave her best effort to try to explain Webkinz World to me. Oak and I got her a webkinz pig for Christmas that she named James (I think an attempt to name it after Oak by using his middle name). It was all pretty complicated - playing games to earn money so [...]
Beauty product of the week: Sally hansen natural shine
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008I know, I know. I should be writing more about our trip! I’m completely swamped at work and am trying my best to stay focused on getting that stuff done. But, I just had to take a moment out of my lunch hour to share this amazing beauty product find. I [...]
Everyone’s a geek
Monday, December 10th, 2007In high school, I was pretty sure I was one of the biggest geeks around. Then I went to college and learned the vast reality of uber-geekiness: Dungeons and Dragons, long black trenchcoats, and the wonderful world of online gaming - in which you play the game at your computer while shouting down the [...]
Entry for Rent
Thursday, November 8th, 2007The final entry in my fall musical madness: Rent. I remember everyone obsessing over this one in high school (Everyone = the girls that did all the musical theater stuff), so I felt obligated to finally see it. Believe it or not, I hadn’t seen the movie either so I only had a vague idea [...]
Mamma Mia!
Friday, November 2nd, 2007So, we went to see Mamma Mia! last night at the Progress energy theater in Raleigh. What an experience!!! We bought some tickets at the Broadway Series South summer sale, where we got tickets to Mamma Mia, Rent, and Avenue Q for ridiculously reasonable prices. Overall, the plot line is [...]
I heart Eve6!
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007My sources tell me that Eve6 has definitely reunited! (Minus the lead guitarist, Jon… it seems they have a temporary replacement.) Anyway, they performed last weekend at a college in Virginia (bummer! roadtrip opportunity missed..), and there’s a bunch of YouTube videos with the evidence. They even played a track that they’ve never [...]
Red rum
Thursday, October 11th, 2007I proposed to the crew that we go to V’s teas and treasures for the “Murder mystery night.” (Oak and I have been obsessed ever since the murder mystery night we did on our cruise in January.) We had no idea what to expect. V’s is definitely a place for “Ladies who lunch” [...]
