I have an early ass business meeting, so I’mma make this quick before my nap. As season whatever-it-is-now closes, I just have to ask my fellow Dead Walker Watchers: 1. Where are all of these blue, dusty looking zombies coming from? There are stages to death! At least some post mortem skin slippage? Degloving? The body doesn’t just dry up right away after death. There are stages. I want to.. Read More
“This is for the birds.” You know, I never got that saying… until 2:30 this morning. The birds are indeed cray with an invisible “Z” this year. The early wakeup songs used to be a good unofficial and natural “second alarm” indicator on weekdays for how I was doing on time as I prepped for work, because it always initiated at just about five A.M. or so. Then Spring came.. Read More
Well, everybody on the Eastcoast saw it. But nobody got a good video of it, I guess. I love even just sky watching on a clear evening. So it would have been cool to see for myself the asteroid/meteor-whatever-it-was that streamed across the sky in all its bright green and crazy colored glory tonight. Unfortunately I missed it. On the flip-side, fortunately it missed us all. However, thanks to budget.. Read More
No time for the gym today? That’s alright. Try lying to yourself in lieu! Although intelligent, whoever come up with this seriously underestimated the implications of their creative invention. Why stop at one misleading claim? The benefits to this activity are actually three fold: 1. Exercise – “I walked around the block twice today.” 2. Promiscuity – “I’ve been around the block a couple times.” (and, finally, if you spend.. Read More
Don’t let all that March snow fool you. Warm weather is on its way. I hope. For many, spring break means bank breaking for new vacay ensembles. Regardless of my own funds (aka lack thereof), personal style (aka also lately lack thereof), and what’s “in” or not, I like to at least look at fashion and watch it evolve (or devolve in many cases), even if I can’t afford a..

First, happy belated St. Patrick’s Day, all! I celebrated by putting my sister’s gift card to use at Viccy’s Secret (silk loungies were the result) and a trip to the salon for more blonde: Speaking of beauty upkeep – it’s not a deep or introspective entry today – but a quick makeup tip that sprung to mind after my favorite shadow committed Stila suicide off my vanity. I’d normally say.. Read More
Well, it’s finally here. The superbug of the century is here. But…you’ve heard that word before and you’re still alive… right? I mean MRSA didn’t kill you, personally. Avian flu (not quite the same, but it also caused a panic) “flew” right past you, am I right? So why should carpa- (eh… we’ll call it CRE for now, since the abbreviation is easier to remember than “carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae”). Anyway why.. Read More
Sometimes, kids just need drugs. Yep. There are some disorders for which there are few workable alternatives and, as a last resort, medication is the only viable solution; but if your kid was diagnosed with ADHD, wouldn’t you want to at least try out potential “second options” for him or her before initiating Operation Pill Pop prematurely? Matthew Pontifex, a Michigan State University professor, seems to agree. In fact, he.. Read More
FIRST FASHION ENCOUNTERS I didn’t know what “label ho” even meant until college. Actually that’s a lie. I just lied. I mean, college was when I first fell in love with Michael Kors; but my mom has been into designer this and that ever since I was little. So I knew from early on that there was some kind of merit in distinguishing between a Coach handbag versus the other.. Read More
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Japan’s horrific disaster. The Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami creamed coastal towns, wreaking devastating death tolls, inducing nuclear power catastrophes, and leaving locals itinerant and inconsolable. Haunted and hurt by the trauma they’d just endured, they hunted for the loved ones they prayed were still alive. On this 2nd anniversary of the event, one would hope to see a “before and.. Read More
