I’ve been on a weird sleep schedule the past few days. Because of this, I’ve seen a lot of late night television. Last night, though, I caught some of the reruns of Sex and the City on TBS. I never watched Sex and the City regularly, and I wasn’t beside myself when the movie came [...]

Mail Call
Dear Food Network,
I will always love you, but I wish you would stop disappointing me with your American Idol-style competition shows. How could Michael Symon beat John Besh out for a spot on The Next Iron Chef? He’s John Besh! People know who he is outside of this show! This is nonsense!
The Next Food Network [...]

Help Wanted
One of my best friends is getting married in less than two weeks. That’s a whole ‘nother post in and of itself, but we’ll save that for after the wedding. Anyway, my mama and I went shopping this afternoon, and she bought me a new dress for the occasion. It’s really pretty [...]

Something I Need to Remember
I’ve mentioned that when I was in high school, I expected to be engaged (or married) by this time. Obviously, that is not the path my life has taken, and sometimes, especially with people getting engaged and married left and right, it’s hard to remember that it’s okay. It’s hard to remember that God’s plan [...]

Mambo Italiano.
As many of you know, I am half-Italian. (It’s on my mother’s side, so it’s not at all discernible from my last name, but I promise I am. I will even let you meet my mama’s family to prove it.) My ethnic heritage is the subject of many jokes in my circle [...]

A Few Things
1. Something I Have Answered A LOT as of Late: How’s the job hunt?
I am more than happy to divulge what is currently going on in my job hunt. However, it is long. And messy. And I am really tired of answering it via Facebook messages and e-mails and what-have-you. [...]

On the Road Again.
I made a quick trip to Jackson on Wednesday. It was sudden for me, too. I got a phone call a few days ago from one of the places I applied, and after an extended game of phone tag, I finally got in touch with the person, and she wanted to schedule the interview for [...]

BFFL.
To my oldest friend in the whole world,
Did you know that in about two months, if our friendship were a person, it would be eligible to get its drivers license? That’s pretty impressive, especially considering the fact that we’re twenty-one.
We both started kindergarten when we were four. It seems ridiculous now, but that’s [...]

Ideas I Have Had This Week
1. Start an all-percussion band. No, I don’t play any percussion instruments, but I don’t know that it is necessarily difficult to play the triangle or the tambourine. I mean, the littlest Partridges could handle it, so I think I can, too.
2. Pitch a double contestant version of The Bachelorette to [...]

Anywhere But Here
After graduating college, it was hard for me to feel like I did anything but leave my life behind. And all I want is my old life, the only one I knew for four years, back. I want to be home with my friends. I want to be busy all the time. [...]
