Journal

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

I’ve kept a handwritten journal for 4 years now and I’m really glad I’ve kept up with it. Andi, I give you credit for inspiring me to keep a journal just by keeping your own since you were a kid!
Anyway, it’s a great outlet and way to remember things, I really recommend it to […]

Chicken soup

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

A co-worker sent me this article - the funniest part is under the “Materials and methods” part which included:
stewing hen or baking chicken
a large carrot
pepper to tase
(among other things)
Translation: Chicken soup really IS good for a cold!
Chicken soup has long been regarded as a remedy for symptomatic upper respiratory tract infections. As it is […]

I know this officially makes me a nerd, but I’m a little bored today, but also really excited about my new tea doo-dad. I bought it at Gongfu Tea in the East Village this weekend (www.gongfu-tea.com) and I love it.
It comes […]

A Christmas Story

Some movies you watch so much they become a part of the family - a moment of silence for the cursing, naked leg lamp-loving, turkey eating dad
“Frageeeely, must be Italian!”

Whoa

I guess I can’t feel that bad when a cat has a bigger waistline than I do - poor thing!

Sometimes…

Hotel Rwanda

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Is a movie I’ve been meaning to see since it came out and we finally watched it last night (thanks to Netflix *end plug*)
It’s depressing as hell, like I thought it would be, but what’s even more depressing is the fact that no outside help came. There was grossly understaffed UN officials (United Nations […]

These are pretty good too

I’d have to say Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote at the end is my favorite
These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or
were announced in church services:
————————————————-
The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.
The sermon this morning: “Jesus Walks on the Water.” The sermon
tonight: “Searching for Jesus.”
Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of
those […]

Little haha

I had heard this joke before but just had it mailed to me and I thought it was worth a post:
Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became thickly callused and hard.
He also was a spiritual person given to protests and even when he was not on a hunger strike, he […]
