If we were connected via FB (which is unlikely because I practically do not exist there), you’d know that my recent status shouts out how I hate dislike those who mirror me. I have also blogged about this before (in my dormant Wordpress page) – I have always been a favorite target for impersonation.
For the life of me, I have no idea why me. Read the rest of this entry »
What I look forward to most whenever I watch a good movie is the discussion I have with my partner in the car on the way home afterwards. Read the rest of this entry »
Tell me… When there’s power outage, how long before you start going crazy? How long before you feel that itch to go out and just spend some time in the mall instead?

A Literary Buffet
Have you ever thought about how you can compare the different kinds of assignments in EPH to something that everyone can relate to?
