Puppies Who Grunt
Megan and I are puppy sitting a French bulldog. Her name is Leeloo. She’s got a bad back and a terrible snarl that comes out when she breathes. It’s like having a piglet in the house. Needless to say, I was woken up this morning from a NyQuil induced stupor (the winter cold has … Continue reading »
The Day Chris Sent Me a Video of Us and It Made Me Cry All Over Myself and Then I Wrote a Blog About It
I miss my boyfriend. I guess I haven’t wanted to talk too much about this for a few reasons: 1. I want to be present. It’s hard to stay focused if I’m focused on the pain of missing someone. But I still miss him. 2. I’ve always considered myself the single person. The independent. The … Continue reading »
Humble Monday: More Cheap Food

I admit that I’ve been too intimidated by the language barrier … Continue reading »

Panty Droppin in the 010
You heard me. And I’m not ashamed. My new favorite thing in Korea is getting naked in public. Read on to see why this, and many other reasons, makes Korea’s sauna culture a thing for superstars. First of all, public nudity is a great idea. I’ve never been to a nudist colony but when I … Continue reading »

Did Everyone Know This But Me?!
You can put korma sauce on pasta and it’s awesome. It’s way better than actual tomato pasta sauce. Why has nobody told me this? Am I the last to know? Nobody even asked if I wanted any. Also, why I am just now finding out that I can skip through songs on my laptop using … Continue reading »
