For some reason, upon graduating college, I’ve been investing more in beauty products. Which is kind of weird for me because I used to only wear makeup when on stage or for special occasions like weddings and dances and paint my nails… well… for mostly the same reasons. Even now, […]
NaNoWriMo Crash Course
Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t mean to frighten you, but we’re one week away from NaNoWriMo – and this year, like I say every other year, I’m going to participate. NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is when the internet comes together to write novels. Or at least 50,000 words […]
Would You Rather: El Paso Edition
In honor of Breaking Bad airing their final episodes beginning this Sunday and my love for the freshman show, The Bridge, we’re kicking off a new weekly segment that poses the question, “Would you rather?” It is spoilerific and draws on events, characters, and experiences found in two shows-movies-comics-whatever-medium-we-choose-to-compare, so […]

Netflix Free Trial: Day 30
Damn it, Netflix, you got me. Even as I write this, I’m streaming The Cabin in the Woods. It’s a movie I’ve been meaning to get around to watching, much like a lot of what Netflix is offering. When you first sign up for Netflix, you get to indicate how […]

How to Survive the Hannibal #HeAteUs
The Hannibal ‘he-ate-us’ is now underway. We have successfully made it through an entire week. I am so proud of all of you. But since it’s only been seven days I suspect that the full weight of what this hiatus means hasn’t quite sunken in for my fellow Fannibals. Considering […]
Netflix Free Trial: Day 1
The short story here is that I’m going to test-run this free trial of Netflix, so you don’t have to! The long story here is that I’ve got a full time job, a mild social life and access to other, free-er streaming services, so I’m going to let you know […]
Pebble is the Coolest Watch Ever
Imagine a watch that connects to your phone via Bluetooth. A watch that can control your music, track how many miles you have run or biked, tells you the weather; a watch where you can view your text messages and e-mails, where you can see when someone’s calling, and where […]
