When I was going to college it seemed like the professors in every single department sat down together weekly to go over their schedules. They would find out who was administering an exam that week, the difficulty level, and an estimation of the amount of material covered and how much study would be required. Then [...]

Normally, when it comes to ramen, I buy Ichiban Ramen. Mainly because the broth made from their mixtures is the closest that any brand sold here in the US comes to the authentic instant ramen I’ve had from Japan. That’s not to say that I don’t like other brands, like Top Ramen. So when I [...]

You know what’s great about Buy.com? You don’t have to wait for special sales to come along, they always have great deals. But what’s even better is that they have a Weekly Deals sale that goes on, you guessed it, every week.
You may be wondering why I’m bringing this up though, right? Ah, [...]

Woohoo! It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Booking Through Thursday! Sweet yes? Here’s this week’s question:
What, in your opinion, is the definition of a “reader.” A person who indiscriminately reads everything in sight? A person who reads BOOKS? A person who reads, period, no matter what it is? … Or, more specific? [...]

A couple of friends and I are planning on going on a small road trip around mid-July. We were kind of wanting to travel for the Fourth of July weekend, but we figured everyone else would be doing that too, which would make it hectic as all get out.

My mother’s cell phone isn’t doing so hot right now. Considering she managed to drop it on the concrete sidewalk and in the middle of a large puddle of water it’s very understandable. Apparently it slipped out of her bag and she didn’t hear it, it was raining after all, and only noticed it’s absence [...]

I swear, I am beginning to really hate all virus protection programs!
We have Norton on the desktop (home) because that’s the one my mom prefers and she pays for the subscription. This things annoys the hell out of me. I can be sitting here, iTunes does an update, and all of a sudden [...]

We got a fairly decent amount of rain yesterday. Of course, the rain didn’t fall until well after my grandfather had irrigated. Needless to say, this resulted in a lot of standing water. Shizuku didn’t mind, of course, since it meant that he could play in the water outside for a longer period of time. [...]

I still find it so amazing that I have my own pearl earrings!

These aren’t your cheap rinky-dink pearls either. These are real freshwater pearls from PearlParadise.com. As a kid I’ve had the typical imitation pearls on an elastic string, and I’ve had the costume jewelry earrings as well. I’ve never owned my [...]
