My parents are blasting instrumental Christmas music from the living room so that the whole house can hear.  Right now it’s “God rest ye merry gentlemen.”

52books: Trailer: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. November is going to be a good month; I can feel it. Funny, I JUST watched this on youtube a moment ago because I’m currently in the middle of a Harry Potter movie marathon (the Prisoner of Azkaban is on pause). I actually have only read the first book, so I should probably get on that, especially because the Half Blood Prince...

“There are many different ways of owning little kids.” -Nio, (in context) talking about the boot camp for Coast Guard he’s running; “kids” referring to the noobs, or newbies, to the Academy.  Don’t forget what an E7 is or you’ll be doing wall squats for 15 minutes holding out the book w/ the page turned to the answer using both arms.

I'll take it
Apprently I am the girl who walks into a group interview wearing shorts, a tank top and a bedhead ponytail and walks out w/ a new job. Sick (not in a good way). In my defense, I didn’t know there was going to be an actual interview.  I came in last week, asked if they were hiring, and they told me I could fill out an application Sunday morning at 10. It might have been nice if I was told...

aylrak: I was just listening to the sunscreen song on the way to work. Turns out, it was originally a column written by journalist Mary Schmich for the Chicago Tribune in June of ‘97. It is probably one of the wittiest and inspiring articles I have read (and been rocking out to-thanks Baz Luhrmann). It is advice I really try to heed. The italisized line inspired me to think I was crazy enough to...
