Going Without My Three BFFs

I had a good chuckle over today’s Joy of Tech: I imagined myself in the scene, and thinking about it, I probably would’ve slammed the door in her face too. Digger deeper into the issue, I realized just how lost and frustrated I would be without my three BFFs: my laptop, cell phone, and a fast, reliable […]

The Monster Me

An excerpt from one of my favorite books, Love Story. This scene takes place right after Oliver and Jenny’s wedding. …..It was then that the awesome truth started to get to me. “Jenny, we’re legally married!” “Yeah, now I can be a bitch.” Any idiot knows that marriage is a big step in life, full […]

Hump Day Hook-Ups

I apologize for the lack of updates. Moving is a bitch, and moving while setting up a brand new place (and assembling furniture) is even worse. As of today, I’m happy to say that our place is finally starting to look like a home and less like a tornado-terrorized warehouse. Ten Days in the Life of a Tampon, […]

Wedding Pictures Preview

Our wedding photographer, Danny Weiss, sent over some teaser pictures last night. I’m so happy that the photographers I originally wanted were all booked on the day of our wedding, because it lead us to Danny (he was a referral from one of the pre-booked photographers). Not only is Danny immensely talented, his enthusiasm and […]

Apple Replaced My MacBook Pro for Free!

My MacBook Pro was still an infant at 1.5 months old. During my honeymoon, I noticed a black dot on the upper right-hand side of the screen. I immediately whipped out my iKlear travel singles and wiped and wiped…with no avail. I changed the background image, played movies over the dot, and dragged windows repeatedly over it. […]

Honeymoon Days 7-8: Santorini

Our second day in Santorini was the Greek Easter, which the locals and hotel staff had promised to be a day full of good food and festivities. However, we woke up to thunder and rain, which continued throughout the day. We decided to stay in all day, bum, and order room service (which was the same price and same […]

Honeymoon Day 6: Santorini

On day 6 we packed our bags and headed to the pier for the ferry to Santorini. I had no idea what to expect, but the ferry was very large and quite luxurious…the seats were far roomier and more comfortable than the ones on planes! The Trip from Mykonos to Santorini: With stops at the islands of Paros […]

Hump Day Hook-Ups

I’m still jet-lagged from the trip but I couldn’t pull myself away from my beloved Google Reader, which had thousands of feeds waiting for my return. Dealzmodo Ahoy: HDTVs Will Get Stupid Cheap Next Month, Gizmodo. My jaw dropped as I read this, because we had just purchased a large screen LCD television last month. $F@(*SKJF!!!! Why […]
