I was an obsessive journal-er in middle school and high school, I think I have about 12 journals from that period still and oh boy are they angsty, terrible and awesome. Now I mostly keep my journaling to cool […]

I haven’t indulged in mine for a while since it was largely a result of my being in grad school and reading obscene amounts of books each week. In my off time I went for super trashy romance novels, like the ones […]

Oo, I’m not sure where I would go for sure. However I’m super lucky and get to go on a trip to New Zealand, into Auckland, with my mum this FRIDAY! I’m super excited, or at least trying to be despite the waves of […]

Second for the salt-tooth. I could forgoe most sweets (besides dark chocolate, preferably with salt…) but salty foods? nope

My biggest guilty pleasure, that even my husband is unaware of, is to make a single biscuit’s worth of dough I don’t even cook it, just chew on the dough, very weird but that gluteny chewiness is very tasty. That, […]

I love snow simply because it enables me to ski. In terms of the practical side, driving around in it, having to shovel it, less of a fan. But skiing! Skiing is what makes the long cold and dark of winter bearable :)

Hot Toddy for the win. Also hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps :). Though I have to say, one of the local ice cream shops that has a to-die-for belgian chocolate ice cream created a divine combination by […]

I managed to get back into Persephone this week! For some reason for the past month or so every time I tried to log in I would login then get reverted back to the home page, unlogged in :( Yesterday I realized it […]

Yay, so glad I could be helpful :) Bohnanza has become our go-to game of late when we’re not doing the drinking/partygame mentality in which case Cards Against Humanity or Quelf are key.

Oh my, Pinterest…It has become my equivalent of reality TV. I find it amazing for “bookmarking” things for myself. However, I also love looking at the “everything” section and scoffing at the opinions of others. […]

I’d recommend looking up Bohnanza, it’s fairly easy to pick up if you read the instructions thoroughly before guests arrive and it encourages simultaneous cooperation and screwing one another over, depending on […]

Gotta add: Cards Against Humanity, a party game for horrible people. It’s awful, but hilariously fun!

Apparently I eat weird foods according to your list. I’m massive fan of many of the things on your to-try list.
For marzipan, get the ones covered in chocolate, not the pretty fruit ones, the chocolate covered […]

I have something like this. Years ago when I first started dating my man he was visiting my mum with me for the first time. She served salad with sliced avocado on the side. I went to grab the last piece and there […]

I adore this movie. Even got the man to watch it and he said it was excellent (he likes his movies with lots of quippy dialogue and action but usually a bit faster moving than older movies such as this) Arsenic […]

My show, a new Sherlock Holmes play called Watson’s Body, is opening tonight. I did all the costume work and have been running around like a mad thing all week getting the final things done. It’s not absolutely […]

oo I loved that book. That book was the thing that convinced me to get a kindle :) four hour car ride crammed in the backseat of a small car with three people and my friend next to me was reading it on his kindle.

oo, I’m a reader to the ridiculous degree. Right now working my way through Ken Follet’s second book in the Century Trilogy. Started off slow but now getting pretty gripping. Good thing today’s my birthday so I […]

me too! One of my favorites is of King George as England taking a dump of ships onto France. Best thing is when my prof used the picture demonstrating eighteenth century warfare and didn’t realize it’s second meaning. Epic :)

We got our halloween candy early this year, and my man put them up on our very high cabinets where we both forget about it and can’t easily access. Works pretty well. Though now I’ve remembered it’s there…
