Oh wow, I just hit 400 subscribers

I know that 400 is kind of an odd milestone to celebrate, but it's been a long time coming. When I first started this blog I didn't think that anyone in their right mind would want to read it. I didn't think I was that interesting, or that I'd consistently have things to say. I...

It’s wedding week!

Like I mentioned last night, I'm in Florida. My best friend/wife for life is getting married this weekend, and I'm here to help her do tasks and not panic. I arrived Monday afternoon and so far, so good. If you're interested in seeing random photos from my travels with mildly entertaining captions, follow me on...

What am I reading: The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

Unless you've been living under a rock since 1972, you know what The Exorcist is about. I don't want to discuss the content of the book here since it's a familiar story, so it's going to be kind of a short review. I love the movie based on this book. It's among my all-time favorite...

New beauty subscription: Kinder Beauty Box

Months ago I heard that my lady crush Evanna Lynch, i.e. Luna Lovegood, would be releasing her own vegan, cruelty-free beauty subscription box, and I was SO EXCITED that the minute it was available for pre-order I bought it without thinking twice. The first box arrived a week or so ago, and I thought I'd...

Dudes named Chris will get you every time

In a complete departure from what you're used to seeing here, today I'd like to talk about a hot dude named Chris. You may also know him as Andy Dwyer, lead singer of Mouserat. https://youtu.be/NqZMcvd0yjo I'm having some feelings about this today. You might have heard of this Chris. He's been in some big budget...

The world has gone declutter mad

I blame you Marie Kondo. I get the concept of purging the things I don't need from my life. I did a ton of that before we moved to Albany, though not as much as Dan would have liked. He owns basically nothing, other than his tv, some speakers, model airplanes and Hot Wheels cars,...

Here’s some random shit about me

Y'all know I watch a lot of YouTube, and lately, there's been this trend where YouTubers "react" to our assumptions about them. I like this in theory, but I suspect most of them don't react to a lot of our actual assumptions about them. I'm talking about the rude/dirty/financial things we assume about them. I wish they...

Watch this tv show: Letterkenny

I've been off of work for a few days for an impromptu little sickness staycation, and though I had the best intentions, meaning I'd do some reading and some writing and be totally set for the upcoming week and my trip to Florida, none of those things happened. Instead, I watched tv. I don't discuss...

What am I reading: You by Caroline Kepnes

Damn, this book. Let me back up: Netflix recently released a show based on this book. I hadn't heard anything about the show until my friend Becky told me about it. Her exact words were "Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Watch ASAP." Since we have similar taste in tv and she's not...

Makeup and candy

Makeup and candy are two of my favorite things. I really think that my love of Halloween blossomed when I learned that the whole point of the day was free candy, and the love of creepy things came way later. I also love Asian beauty companies, like Etude House. Not only do most brands use...

January empties

Wow, it's been a long ass time since I wrote an empties post. It's something I did once and didn't feel the need to do again, but since my goal for the year is to use up a whole lot of stuff, I think we should check out some of my trash. Note: this is...
