Paris vs New York

Paris vs New York is a whimsical blog which showcases illustrated comparisons between the two cities. Not only are the style of illustrations right up my alley (cute and minimalist), the comparisons themselves lead readers to wonder which city comes up best. Just from a quick look, it seems as if the author of the blog is biased toward Paris, and I can definitely see why he thinks so. However, as much as I love Paris and strolling through the city of lights, I will always be a New York girl at heart. Via Kottke. ...

This post comes courtesy of my dear internet buddy, Girl on the Park. It is one that hits home for TV junkies like myself, and I spent quite some time reading and re-reading it, nodding in agreement while chuckling and marveling over the remarkable writing style dripping in sarcasm.

Apparently, I would not make a good leader in a zombie apocalypse as I tend to be too careless and two members of my party have already died (sorry, J and Comang). What a fantastic game. And just in time for Halloween! Via Mashable. ...

Guest Post: Your Job is Ruining Dinner

I don't particularly like cooking, and I'm embarrassed to reveal just how many days per week we order in (especially during the latter weeks of my pregnancy). However, home-cooked IS best in my opinion and I prefer my mother's dishes over a restaurant's any day. In this piece Susan ponders if women's careers have lead to a decrease in homecooked meals and an increase in fast-food joints and take-out menus. Can we have it all? Here's a new one in the women/Moms should just stay at home argument; working women are ruining dinner. Shame on us! All the crazy feminists who aren't home to cook a good meal have apparently caused all kinds of problems, according to this article. The rise of so...
