What AM I going to do with my life?

2008-03-29T00:41:51Z

I feel like I've been asking myself that question to some degree for the last 12 or so years. During that time I've spent WAY too long at a community college, gotten married, and finally decided to bit the now-or-never bullet and go back to school...

What isn’t in the water?

2008-03-28T01:39:08Z

For once I read about something elsewhere and a week earlier, than it appeared in DemocracyNow. Still, DN always has great interviews and voices that you don’t normally hear in the mainstream or at such length. I am particularly interested in th...

It's only the rest of my life

2008-03-09T23:27:13Z

I was hoping to figure out what I could to do with my degree (BA in Sociology) while I was working on it. It's not a lot of help to me in my current job. I knew it wouldn't be, of course. Which makes it more for myself than anything. That is fine ...

12 weeks and counting

2008-03-03T06:34:11Z

And one of those is a break! Yes, in 2 weeks I will be finished with my senior project (then it's one class remaining until graduation). I can't WAIT to have that one week off. I hear that the second half of he project actually isn't that bad, but...

Not being Catholic...

2008-01-19T20:49:57Z

I attended a Mexican Catholic Funeral a couple days ago. The man who died, Manuel, was simply one of the nicest, most genuine people I've met, though I did not know him well. He had lived in the little town of G_____ all of his life and had worked...

frustration

2008-01-18T03:56:51Z

It can be tough to figure out what you want to do for a living. For me it has to be something that will make me happy. Without getting into all my particulars, let's just say that I am interested in many things, fairly organized, always willing t...

Counting down from 5

2008-01-18T01:10:25Z

I've got 5 classes left, then graduation in August. Damn. And it only took me 6-ish years to finally get my butt back into school. Yes, I should have done it much sooner. I could have done it maybe 4 years sooner. Two more classes under my belt th...

Falernum (I know, you're asking, "what the heck is that?")

2007-11-01T04:19:08Z

I'm making booze, rather, a mixed drink component that has largely fallen into the dusty, musty, recesses of time. Falernum. It's rum based. My first attempt came from EGullet. I altered it slightly right off the bat. Rum Marinade1cWhite Rum3 Li...

Paris, je t'aime - though I've never been there

2007-09-16T04:24:28Z

This film was basically brilliant. Not the type of fair Americans are used to. I don't want to give anything away, and it's not as if there is A plot for the movie, so no spoilers here. The movie is 18 5-minute shorts by famous writer/directors an...

86 minutes of my life - Shoot 'Em Up Review

2007-09-16T03:58:53Z

I actually saw Shoot 'Em Up last weekend, but it has taken me until today to admit that. If you see this movie, it's 86 minutes of your life you can't have back. *** Some spoilers to follow *** Don't be fooled. The action may have been choreogr...
