My favorite albums of 2011
Because year-end “best of” lists are kind of stupid and arbitrary, but everyone does them and I can’t resist. These are not, by any means, the best albums of 2011. They’re just the ones I happened to really like this year, the ones I played on repeat for days and days, and the ones that got me jones’n to shell at cash-monies for the live rendition.
As such, I give...
On purchasing a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer
Me: I can never decide whether to buy one or wait until my wedding registry, assuming I get married
Claire: You don't need a husband when you have a Kitchenaid mixer
Me: I know, and it will only add problems to my already unrealistic expectation for men
Me: You're not tall enough
Me: We don't have enough in common
Me: And I already have a stand mixer
Me: NEXT

Oh hi there, withoutane.tumblr.com,
How’ve you been? How’s life been treating yo…what’s that? What? Where’ve I been? Why I haven’t a blogged in weeks? Oh, uh, well I … umm….
OK, look. I know I’ve not been doing my job as a self-indulgent personal blogger as of late. I haven’t been reposting the many hilarious cat videos I come across...
Tall Girls: The Story of Giants →
I want to see this! While I’m not as tall as the woman featured in the movie (I’m 5.10”, while the ladies in the film all seem to be topping 6.1”), I can relate to the “Oh my, you’re so tall for a woman!” exclamations and general dating frustrations that may (or may not) be a result of my height. As for that German doctor who says “Women don’t...

Stephen Colbert on CNN’s firing of approximately 50 journalists after the network completed a study on the quality of user generated content it was receiving via platforms such as iReport.

“My favorite remark in Saturday night’s ‘commander in chief’ debate, in which the Republican presidential candidates answered questions about national security in one-minute sound bites, came from Michele Bachmann. ‘If you look at China, they don’t have food stamps,’ she said. ‘They don’t have the modern welfare state, and China’s...

Breakfast Skillet
Today marks the end of daylight savings, which is arguably my least favorite day of the year. The extra hour of sleep is nice and all, but I HATE that night now falls at 4:30 in the afternoon. I’ll sacrifice some shut eye for a long, sunny day any day. And I can’t understand for the life of me why people claim that the time change messes them up. It’s an hour, guys. It’s...
