In the spirit of the holidays — (And to thank all my readers and sponsors!) I have decided that a nice giveaway is in order. 🙂 The thing is, I can’t quite decide what to give away. I have gotten it down to three choices. And as much as I would love to have all three […]
So Claire surprised me with a bouquet of flowers on my birthday. (Her grandparents had paid for it, but they told me that she had picked it out and she presented it to me while shouting, “Heppy buh-she-dey umma!”) Of course I immediately placed the flowers in a vase and displayed them prominently on our kitchen […]
I met my 30th birthday with a bittersweet goodbye to my twenties. My 31st birthday began with projectile vomit. And today…. Today I face my 32nd birthday with subdued enthusiasm. Enthusiasm for my family. For my blessings. For my future. For hope. Oh, and the prime filet mignon waiting for me at my favorite steakhouse […]
Sigh. You know I’m a sucker for holiday-themed store displays. I personally have not yet had a chance to check out the famed NYC displays in person this year, but I have been following them via the web, and — as it seems to be the case every holiday season — each store has outdone […]
Once in a while, when I get bored, I like to look through the archives of this blog and reflect upon (and laugh at!) all the things I have shared with the web over the years.

I am of the opinion that one cannot have too many comfy t-shirts. And if that shirt has a geeky or witty design on it? More the better! So when the online apparel store T-Shirts.com contacted me about doing a review, I didn’t hesitate. How can I say no to a company that lists Star Wars […]
Here’s a pretty funny (but mostly accurate!) panel of comics about how much we’ve cared about Star Wars, starting from the 1970s all the way to the 2010s. I still can’t believe it’s been thirty-five years since Episode IV first came out; can you? You may also like: Once Upon an Internet The Jedi Trainer’s Guide to […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
