Oh wow, it’s been quite a year. I say that both in a calender year sense, as we all get ready to drink too much cheap Champagne and barf all over our equally cheap, overly-sequined Forever 21 dresses to celebrate the close of 2010, and in a blog year sense, as today marks my one [...]

I know, I know. Pumpkin was so last month. But if you’re like me, you still have enough canned pumpkin to survive the Apocalypse.

I kind of love rules. It sounds really bizarre, I know. But there’s just something about rules, or maybe just structure in general, upon which I really tend to thrive. In my work and school life, my affection for rules is quite beneficial: I get up every morning, I arrive at work on time, I [...]

I felt it coming on Wednesday night. It started the same way they all do: scratchy throat, stuffy nose, and that achy, crabby feeling that makes you want to lay on the floor and whine. It was inevitable…I was getting sick. Sure enough, Thursday morning I had a full-blown head cold. However, I was raised [...]

when i was an undergraduate, i majored in psychology, a large part of which is being able to critically evaluate empirical research. most of my classes dedicated at least a week’s worth of lectures to beating us over the head with the, “look at all of the facts,” speech. so when all hell broke loose [...]
