Trick or Treat
I’m taking a break from the TV tonight, as I know it’ll be hard to find anything on that isn’t scary. Or stupid.
Anyway, I’m sitting at Starbucks, writing my life’s story and wondering why a parent would bring her kids to a coffee chain to pander for candy (while she stands outside), and in [...]
Bravo! to BRAVO
I am sadly without many of my reality TV channels this semester. However, luckily Bravo feeds me a steady diet of new and innovative reality TV shows. From Top Design to the Houswives, life is good! Another positive aspect of Bravo is their all day maranthon’s. Does anyone have an opinion on who should win [...]
Ode to a Cupcake
Oh Cupcake so small and sweet.
You are like a real cake but nicer and neat.
With your frosting swirls and little size,
You fit in my mouth with just one try.
Oh, cupcake why do you expand my thighs!

$20
So we all know that being out on your own for the first time is hard. Money never seems to be available, you are always scraping the bottom of the barrel. For the past week I have literally been eating whatever is not encrusted with freezer burn and the least stale crackers I can find. [...]
Got bacon?
It’s been weeks since I’ve had the pleasure of a turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich from my favorite deli. Today, I fulfilled my craving—well, part of it at least (Kim made me share my sandwich with her. Argh.
Caketastrophe!
Hi everyone,
I am James’ co-blogger! I share the obsession of both food and reality TV (which I like to call “trash TV”). I find that I talk about them in conversations like they are people that I know. Example, “OMG Kinley has the most annoying laugh.”
I am currently in Oklahoma. State of the best fried [...]
Tales from the kitchen: burnt popcorn
My wife loves popcorn, and loves to make it on the stove. She’s been known to flavor the snack (which sometimes serves as dinner) with a variety of ingredients: salt, Parmesan, Tapatio, chocolate chips.
Now, we’ve all burned popcorn at some point, even if it was in a bag in the microwave. But Kim doesn’t like [...]
Lazy afternoon
It’s Sunday, which means that I’m spending my afternoon on the computer, with the television feeding me background noise. With so many choices, it’s hard to decide on what to watch. Alas, I’m stuck on VH1.
Rock of Love Charm School
As if I hadn’t seen enough of the Rock of Love girls when they were stripping [...]
On Poverty
I warned you that the tone around here would get serious from time to time. Today is Blog Action Day, which, in addition to giving us a reason to post, is cause for reflection.
Truth be told, this blog exemplifies the excess that Westerners (Americans, especially) are so highly favored for around the world. In case [...]
I’d like my alcohol to go, please.
I was in Baton Rouge over the weekend, and though I couldn’t find a drive-through daiquiri shop (trust me, they exist), my sister and I were able to walk out of a bar with these tiny cups.
We thought the barkeep was supposed to place tape over the straw holes, but when he didn’t, we didn’t [...]
