April 2006 Archives

My roommate has created a calendar on his fancy iCal to countdown the days to graduation. Every night he eagerly marks one day off the calendar in a red pen. That reminds me --Should I check if the red pen is marking the wall through the paper? Anyways. It stresses...

New Media (aka the blogosphere) Surveyed in The Economist

Has anyone else read the most recent Economist (April 22nd-28th 2006)? There is a very interesting indepth article on internet media --more than a dozen pages! It discusses blogging, where journalism is headed, the importance of sharing, podcasting, and more. Websites mentioned include Movable Type, Dollarshort, Technorati, Ohmy News, Flickr,...

Earth Day Lesson

Holy crap, it's Earth Day. Also known as that day, several years ago, that Tommy Hilfiger gave me a free tree to plant with a purchase of Tommy Girl Cologne. Yea for Tommy saving the world one teenage girl at a time! Well, I laugh now, but at the time,...

Read the Book or Watch the Movie?

I've been meaning to mark which of the movies I've seen and which of the books I've read from this list of the 50 best book to film adaptions. Here's my list: 1. [B] 1984 2. [M] Alice in Wonderland 3. [M] American Psycho 4. [B] Breakfast at Tiffany's 5....

DePandi and Rudolph... Sisters?

Whenever I see Giuliana DePandi (host on E! News Live) or Maya Rudolph (cast member of Saturday Night Live), I can't help but think HOW ALIKE they look. See? (Maya on left, Giuliana on right) Sure, one is Italian (DePandi) and the other is biracial African-Jewish-American (Rudolph), but I still...

Tarn Tip Thai Cuisine

I have been to half a dozen Thai restaurants up and down I-5, and I find it odd that Corvallis (a reasonably small, college town) would have the best Thai I’ve ever had. Nonetheless, it is true. For the pad thai lovers, or the more adventurous, Tarn Tip is the...

Bald Hill - Corvallis, OR

The weather has been getting better everyday and days are getting longer, so at the end of everyday, there's still sunlight. On this particular day, the boyfriend and I decided to hike Bald Hill. We barely made it to the top before the sun started to set, and it was...

Rest In Peace... You Were Well-Loved

Pink Sauconys, 2000-2006 From high school to college and somewhere inbetween, I loved these crazy shoes. Everywhere I went, people exclaimed, "Woah! Pink shoes!" Yes, pink shoes indeed. Alas, the time has come; the pink shoes are retiring to the shoe graveyard. Never to be worn by me again, they...

Bobby Flay and Stephanie March?

It seems like nothing good is on television these days except for Law & Order: SVU and everything on the Food Network. Because these are such staples for everyone around me, my boyfriend was very eager to run into the kitchen, and excitedly shout, "OMG! I was watching Giada's (we...

I Have A Blog?

Oh, little one, I have forgotten about you. I have little to nothing to blog about, but I have been out 'living it up.' But, you know, this is my blog and I don't need excuses! All I need is a keyboard and an internet connection. Ha ha ha! Class...
