So honestly, not a huge alcohol fan at all yet. Keep trying, because there have to be great drinks out there. So far I’ve liked one fuzzy navel, but hated the other one. Most mojitos and cherry mojitos have impressed me. I will drink butterscotch schnapps in just about anything, but especially with creme soda [...]

I really would love to grow my own food. It’s THE right thing to do. I believe all of us should grow our own food, and I want to do the right thing for the Earth and sustainability and my own personal health and budget. Honestly. I don’t want to have to buy it at [...]

The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano “Prime numbers are divisible only by 1 and by themselves….among prime numbers, there are some that are even more special. Mathematicians call them twin primes: pairs of prime numbers that are close to each other…but between them…is always an even number that prevents them from truly touching…If [...]

“Given that eating animals is in no way necessary for most people, should we?” Well, I don’t know what I was thinking having both a happiness attempt AND reading more about food. I feel so trapped underneath the weight of the way we do food in this country, this world. The fact that (until I [...]

This may sound insane and scary to other people, but I bet Chris understands it. I am doing a decent job of my happiness project, but it results in a disorganized scattering of waaaay too many notebooks and scraps of paper and Post-It notes. The problem is, even though I carry a zillion things with [...]

I have been trying aaaaaallll sorts of things to become a happier, more positive person. Some work, some don’t. Whatever. Now for the venting… One of the most revelatory things I have learned (and really do believe) is that each person has a happiness threshold that they were basically born with. Knowing this frees me [...]

I thought you were a sweet and respectful closing. I mean, it’s hard to feel super blown away by a mass funeral. I enjoyed every aspect of it though and felt it absolutely appropriate. I can’t wait to watch you again, knowing what I know.

I didn’t love this episode, but I’m glad they did it. They probably should have done it differently (maybe making it a flashback countered with us watching Locke begin to “finish what he started”) but I understand why they did it this way. We got tons of answers (sure, more questions, too, but none we [...]

Sayid died again. But this time for a good cause, although everyone still had a fun time escaping. And most of us knew he didn’t kill Desmond. But here’s the thing. Why didn’t he kill Desmond? Why, if he is so soulless, did he even give a crap about getting Nadia back? What the hell [...]

Do the people who died in T1 but are alive in T2 remember T1 more readily than the others? Libby, Daniel, and Charlie seemed to catch on real quick. OK, two factions: Blow up the plane or talk to Locke? Richard, Ben, and Miles should have gotten the hint that if the Island blew up [...]
