Things I’m Loving

  • These Boots:
    I’ve been looking for a pair of knee high brown boots for about three years. Finally, this year, I found them. Thanks to Timberland and Zappos, I’ve found boots that are comfortable for my wide, flat feet and my larger than average calves. (pic from Zappos)
  • Sushi:
    Why didn’t anyone bother to tell me that sushi is delicious, and that even a really picky eater like me could like it. I have eaten sushi three times in the last month. I love the texture and flavors.
  • My Kindle Fire:
    I’ll review this in full later, but the ability to carry multiple books and the internet it one place is enjoyable.

  • An Impromptu Trip to Portland:
    Last weekend, Jeremy said, “It’s Maine Beer Week; do you want to go to Portland for the night?” I’m not sure why that was a question because I’m always up for a trip. We had lots of fun at Novare Res and got a great last minute deal at the Residence Inn on the waterfront.
  • Books By and About Boys:
    In the last few weeks, I’ve read two YA books about boys. The first The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie and the second Will Grayson, Will Grayson by David Leviathan and John Green. Both of these books were at times terribly sad and moments later hilariously funny. If you’d like a little window into the mind of an adolescent boy, you should give both of these a try.
  • Rachel Maddow
    Seriously, if you don’t watch Rachel Maddow you are missing out on the best political news show. Her take on  Herman Cain – The Art Project is really all you need to know about what’s going on in politics right now.

Interest (Noun)

Interest – The state of wanting to know or learn about something or someone

Here it is; I am driven by my interests. I, maybe unlike most people my age, go through phases of passionate fury for something learning as much as I can and then that interests fades as fast it came. Like your average 13 year old, I’m in love with something, only stopping short of plastering my walls with posters, finding nothing about it appealing a few weeks later. The fact that I sustained a blog with a fairly consistent posting schedule on one or two topics for so long was quite frankly phenomenal.

Now, I’ve gone about three weeks without writing anything and the posts were sporadic at best a few weeks before, this absences revolves around the idea that yes I was busy, but also I grew bored with this space and its content. I’m guessing if I was bored, so were the few people who read this.

Supposedly, the most important piece of blogging advice is to find a niche; well important advice be damned. From now on, this blog will focus on my interests. Nor only will there be food, travel, and general life happenings, but there will also be more politics, more technology, and more books.

If you’re interested with any or all of those topics, then please stay. If you like reading the same type of post everyday, you might want to remove me from you Google Reader. There won’t be any hard feelings from me; I promise.

I Can’t Get Control of My Schedule

IMAG0268-1

It seems I cannot get get control of my schedule this fall. I’m still working about 2 or 3 more hours a day than I did last year, which  apparently were the hours last year when I blogged. I write a lot of posts in my head, but I can’t seem to get them typed. [...]

Why I’m Not A Mac

The world seems to be in a flurry over the new iPhone 4S and the death of Steve Jobs. First, let me say, I extend my sympathies to the Jobs’ family. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. I first learned about it when I read, The Last Lecture. Once diagnosed, the [...]

October–Finally

Every year September kicks me in the face, and I think, how will I make it through this month? Every year, somehow, with the help of Jeremy and beer, I survive.  I’m always incredibly thankful for October to arrive.  October has already been good to me: I ran my first half marathon The weather is [...]
