Personal Hygiene Update
I read somewhere, during my obsessive googling of “how to repel mice”, that a dirty sock is an adequate mice repellant, that mice don’t like dirty human smell or something to that effect.
So that’s, like, really great for me, right? Because I have a tendency to not wash my hair every day (or every other day (or even less than that because I don’t have hot water...

Say whaaaat! Although it comes as no surprise.

nedhepburn:
Is Ryan Gosling the new Zooey Deschanel? Has his meme capacity reached critical mass? When will the inevitable backlash start? Is “Silent Sorta Cocky Cool Guy” the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” for women? Discuss.
It has already started on my end, to an extent. You can’t deny that he’s a really great actor who, for the most part, gets involved in really great projects....

There are three Spanish music stores located adjacent to our apartment building. During normal business hours, they each blast one song all day. That’s the worst part. The repetition. Today, though, is Christmas, and only two of them are open. And only one of them is really blasting the music. And it’s the “Feliz Navidad” song. Over and over again.
So, I’m going to...

The Beyond
Bed, Bath, and Beyond is all at once an extremely comforting and panic inducing place. At least that’s how it felt today, which is not how it usually is for me. With a few dollars currently to my name until my next paycheck, I didn’t go to the store with any purchases in mind. Rather, I went for comfort. I had an interview earlier for a big girl job with benefits and no personal...

A Bad Sitcom Kind of Day
Today is my 26th birthday. It started out average enough with thoughts like I don’t want to go to woo-ooork and I’m going to call out sick, it’s my birthday damnit I can stay home if I want to.
A couple of hours into my work day, things just kind of got very “womp womp” (not the dubstep kind, more like the “aw how pathetic” kind). Today was kind of like...

New Yorkers: What are they like?!
Not to sound like a broken record, but the New York episode of The Layover. What was that about? While it provided two amusing moments for me, a large part of it seemed surprisingly misinformed.
After Tony and David (Chang) indulge in a couple of Crif Dogs and melted yellow plastic, they head into PDT which is a well known “speakeasy” (haha) attached to Crif Dogs. You have to go...

“I drive around. I smoke weed. I look for cheese shops. I look for all kinds of artisan bread and stuff like that.”
Sure it was exciting seeing my brother and cousin on The Layover, and of course that is my favorite part by default. But if my family members weren’t on the show, this would have been my favorite part of the NY episode.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Never Accept a Diamond... →
1. You’ve Been Psychologically Conditioned To Want a Diamond The diamond engagement ring is a 63-year-old invention of N.W.Ayer advertising agency. The De Beers diamond cartel contracted N.W.Ayer to create a demand for what are, essentially, useless hunks of rock. 2.
