Later this week I will be kicking off a 10-day Italian adventure with some friends. With less than 48 hours till my departure, our hotels are booked, my bags are (mostly) packed, and my passport is eagerly awaiting its new stamp. There’s one final item on my to-do list: create a travel playlist. For me, […]
Indiana’s Cool Gem: Auntie Em’s Frozen Custard & Cupcakes
As the post-vacation feelings begin to wear off and I get back to my daily routines after another fun trip to Indiana, I ask myself if that desire for exploration–that wanderlust–does it ever wear off? I am a traveler by nature who is always on the lookout for delicious food and as eager as I […]
He Said, She Said: The Dance Between Friends & Lovers
Friendship is the beginning of love, but the dance between being ‘just friends’ and transitioning to ‘lovers’ can be a very tricky one.
Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Working Out
For a long time, two of the words I feared the most were ‘working out’. I’ve never been an athletic or particularly coordinated person, and for a long time, it showed. I’d avoid playing sports or doing anything remotely active, especially in front of other people. I was scared – I had no belief in […]
Switched at Birth: What If?
Tonight’s episode of Switched at Birth was the most dramatic one yet. There was an interesting game played on the show tonight, a game of “What If”. What if Regina had told the hospital about the switch instead of keep it to herself for 13 years? The answers to that question were revealed tonight. Answers that surprised […]
SYTYCD10: Top 18 Performance Show – Starts With A Bang
When I found out about the change of format for the results this season, I was hesitant to pass judgment. Generally, whoever calls the shots on “changes” to the SYTYCD format has been smart than changes to other reality show formats (like Idol). Often, the results (like adding the All-Stars back in Season 7) have improved […]
Switched At Birth: Mounting Tension Comes Spilling Over
It seems that not all is right on Switched at Birth. No, it does not seem to be the fact that you had two teenage girls that were ‘switched at birth’ when they were only nine hours old. No, it does not seem to be that there are too many people living under the same […]
Find A Role Model
I’d like to clear something up right off the bat. I have an obsessive personality that I’m well aware of, I probably get it from my Father. But I often struggle to decipher the difference between being passionate about believing in something, or just being easily obsessed with things–and that’s for another post. However, I […]
SYTYCD10: Top 20 Performance Show – 20/20 Vision
The interesting part of tonight’s show is that, in many ways, the audience starts off like the dancers in one of the routines we saw tonight: blindfolded and waiting for the couples, and the judges true intentions, to be revealed. Tonight is when we see which fan favourites were paired with dancers we previously thought […]

Forging Steel with Humanity: Superman Reborn in “Man of Steel”
What does it mean to be human? Obviously science alone cannot be relied upon to provide all the answers when describing the depth of such meaning and accuracy because it’s not only about biology or physical makeup; it envelopes the entire cosmic being and its soul. It’s also a fundamental question regarding our existence that […]
The Package Tour: Review
Last week I attended a concert that I have been waiting over twenty years for. Yes, my friends, I’m talking about The Package Tour featuring New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men.
Mad Women of Mad Men
Set in 1968, with the rising political, racial, and social tensions of the counterculture well under way, Season 6 of Mad Men mirrored the growing unrest in America with its focus on the epic failures of the men of the show, ending with Don Draper having a meltdown that costs him his partnership (temporarily… for […]
