Note: This is NOT a book review. It’s more of a story as to why I chose the book for the challenge, and my reflection after having read it. You already know that one of yearly goal is to read 12 books a year. Coincidentally, my friend Naz set up a book challenge with, guess what, 12 categories. A book that intimidates you. A book you should have read in school. A book published before you were born. A book you’ve already read at least once. A book you can finish in a day. A book you previously abandoned. A...

5 Thoughts The new mattress is a wee too firm. However, it’s nice to NOT feel Brandon when he tosses and turns. Upon seeing a picture of a pancake on my friend’s Facebook, I decided to make pancakes for breakfast. I dropped an egg, then overheated butter in the microwave so it exploded. While cleaning everything up, the buttery glass tray slipped and shattered, thankfully, into the kitchen sink. Eventually, pancakes were made and eaten and I gave up on today. TV Binge report: Machete Kills (Best. Movie. EVER!). The Normal Heart. (I totally cried, by the way. Matt Bomer...

5 Thoughts Yay Long weekend! Yay I’m getting my car back and we’ll be a two-car household again! X-Men: Days of Future Past! Great movie. Good times fun, and man I need a private moment every time McAvoy and Fassbender has a scene together. Seriously. My personal dream harem is this cast: Jackman, Fassbender, McAvoy, Hoult, and J-Law. Even Sir Patrick! It’s perfect. Hugh Jackman’s naked backside! #HereHaveMyPanties Hugh Jackman’s naked backside! Today’s Photo A few minutes before this, he got out of bed butt naked, man. Glorious. Glo-ri-ous. Breakfast A few little scones and a shot of cough syrup....

Then again, who isn’t? Am I right? It’s been well documented that I love me the dark haired, blue eyed boys. So it shouldn’t surprised anyone that I walked out of Man of Steel with a crush. Hi, Henry. Yeah, you, sir. Clark Kent. Kal-el. Superman. (Nerd note: They’re just calling him “Kal”? That bugs the living hell out of me, by the way.) (More nerd note: Yes, I kind of like the new back story of Man of Steel. So I thoroughly enjoyed the movie up until he and Lois met, and it pretty much went downhill from there...

I scrambled into a waiting room full of hopeful actors. A friendly face looked up and waved me over to an empty seat next to him. “So, when are you going up?” I asked. “Soon,” he said. A few steps away, a glass door swung open. A lady with a clipboard called out a name, and my friend stood up. “Break a leg!” I called up at him as he walked by. He gave me a thumbs-up as he crossed in front of the clipboard lady. The lady followed his line of sight to me, then looked down at her...

Father Time apparently drives a Bugatti Veron in 2012. Varrrrpphhhewwwwssshhh… Gone. Anyway. Here’s my obligatory 2012 year in review. I’ve changed a few categories from the past years but you’ll still get the idea. 2012: Year of Costumes Instead of giving you 12 pictures from the 12 months, I’m giving you the pictures of all the cosplays I’ve done and costumes I’ve worn this year instead! Row 1: 5-minute Zombie make-up for REI Zombie Preparedness class Wolverine for a Halloween which we showed up more or less after the fact due to a miscommunication.
