It’s time once again for a Not-So-Secret Secret (N3S). This is #22, but really it’s only my fourth one to participate in. I was inspired by this one because I was left standing outside waiting for the shuttle last night for almost 20 minutes in the cold. That’s right. I was stuck away from any [...]

I have noticed a trend these days among the restaurant business that has nothing to do with food. It’s particularly prevalent among chain restaurants. When I go to a restaurant, I’m interested in only one thing: eating. Why on earth would I care about your little “story”? It’s not going to make me like your [...]

I have lately found myself immersed in books, both in the form of study as well as in the form of enjoyment. At this point, I consider the two types mutually exclusive. Nothing I read for study these days is, shall we say, likable. Informative, sure, but still dreadful. Two books are at the forefront [...]

I realize that, to some, now that Thursday has come and gone, Thanksgiving is out of the picture. But as someone still in school, the holiday has not yet passed in my mind. I continue to give thanks for everything in my life, including this much-needed break from the rigors (read: annoyances) of study.
But let [...]

This week’s N3S topic is a freestyle. As is often the case, I had no idea what I wanted to do for this one, so I just decided to pick the first thing that came to mind. There tends not to be much rhyme or reason for these (in my case, at least), so whatever [...]

Lately, it seems I have a penchant for getting myself into situations that are, shall we say, tough to escape from. It’s not exactly anything serious, but it has generated a fair amount of attention, the most recent occurrence of which involved my parking skills.
What started out as a night out to the theater ended [...]

Today I proved myself stronger than I had ever given myself credit for. Not emotionally stronger, or psychologically stronger, or any other metaphorically strong sense one can be. No. Today I discovered my guns. That’s right, underneath this glossy exterior are rippling muscles.

At a recent outing to my favorite coffee shop, I was subjected to what I can only call a horrifyingly fantastic scene. You know, one of those things that’s downright awful, yet you’re unable to tear your eyes (and ears) away from it. It was one of those. First, let me set the scene:

Yesterday, I happened to be doing something (what it was escapes me) of some importance, but I couldn’t tell you what it was (oh wait, I already said that) because my thoughts were drifting to other things. For some reason, I started thinking about writing, and I got to thinking about how often I encounter [...]
