Yes, a recap of what I did this weekend. I really like these posts but lately I’ve seen bloggers bash their own recap posts which I think it strange. They’re really great! Friday started with a pool party at my friend Elisa’s apartment. It was an overcast, hot day, just like every other day she’s [...]

Darned Technology

Lately there have been several new and new-to-me things on the interweb that other people seem to be all about, but I just don’t understand. Can anyone else me out? Pinterest: I was dying to try Pinterest, I kept hearing people on blogs and Twitter talk about it so I was so happy when I [...]
Why I Can’t Make Blog Friends

I have been blogging for exactly two years tomorrow. It hasn’t been a constant two years, I’ve taken off days, weeks, and months, but I started this blog on July 28, 2009. When I started the blog I didn’t really know what kind of blogger I wanted it to be. I read a lot of [...]
Book Reviews: Part I
Posted in books, reviews, tagged book review on July 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I have been a reading machine lately. In the last week alone I’ve finished three books. On my Tumblr I started doing 5-sentence move reviews and then 5-sentence book reviews. Here are my reviews of the three books I finished this week. (And remember you can see what I’ve read, what I’m reading, and what [...]
Summer in the City

No, not New York City. I’m talking Washington, DC. I spent the summer of 2006, the summer before my senior year of college, interning at ABC News in Washington DC. Let me take a little trip down memory lane. I lived in a George Washington University dorm room, more a suite, with a living room, [...]

I thought I’d do a mostly random recap of my weekend with a few pictures from my trip to Oregon included. First, my randoms from my trip… That’s the room I stay in in the condo my grandparents rent. Well, where I stayed before I got sent to the couch so my mom and aunt [...]
An Ode to Borders

As you may or may not have heard Borders Books is closing its doors. They haven’t been doing well for a while and despite what seems like their team’s best efforts they just can’t make their business model work. As you also may or may not know I work in book publishing. Up until my [...]
Fort Vancouver

Yesterday, my final day in Oregon, we went to visit Fort Vancouver. Since I love history I was really excited to go. I actually made my family switch some things on the itinerary so I could go. Fort Vancouver is actually in Washington so I got to visit two states on this trip! We started [...]
Wine and Relax

Another day in Oregon, another day of consuming alcohol. Today’s alcohol of choice? Wine. Rather than the main drag places we went last year, we decided to try two smaller vineyards this year. First up was Aramenta. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. Since it was so small the owner just walked out of her house [...]
