Tuesday night fever

Ah, finally a break from my studies. Well, a bit of a break. Technically I still have stories that I need to write, but…

Jamming out to Lady Gaga. Ah, a delicious guilty little pleasure hidden in my MP3 player. Yeah, you know what I am talking about. When I strut more than usual, when I walk with a distinct dance-like rhythm, chances are that one of my guilty pleasures is pulsing through my headphones. Chances are that I am exercising every ounce of control to stop myself from bursting into song and dance.

Now all I want to do is drink and dance. What can I say, I am a sucker for kick’n beats and synths…and rum =D

Boom, bump that track!

New Yorker blogger gives Wishbone a nod

I was an avid Wishbone watcher. I saw him don a beard in Rip Van Winkle and also challenge the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera.

So, you can imagine how excited I was to see this interview on The Book Bench.

What’s the story, Wishbone? Woof!

Check out my other Wishbone post…

The IT Crowd presents the mystical Internet

I have read a few different articles discussing the Internet and cybersecurity over the past few days. One piece addressed the government’s role in protecting information, another piece discussed the issues of protecting copyrights across international borders and a collection of pieces focused on digital publishing and online libraries.

Despite the differences in subject matter, each of these pieces made an attempt to simplify technical information for their target audiences. These articles did a great job of making the information clear for those, like me, with a limited understanding of computer-related properties. However, I could not help but think about comedic sketches that exaggerate the population’s minimal understanding of technology that it uses every day.

Once again, I refer you to clips from the British sitcom The IT Crowd.

Princess Teresa Hard Lemonade’s Movie Marathon

It is almost like I am 15 again. But this time around, I get to enjoy my princess, romantic happy-ending movies with a side of alcohol. Yeah!

My beau is working in the city for the week. Thus, I am left to find my own entertainment during the evenings. Tonight I am enjoying some fluffy, extra-girlie movies and a whole bunch of Mike’s Hard Lemonade. I have not felt this stereotypically girlie in quite some time.

Six bottles and three movies in and I am longing to don a tiara and a beautiful ball gown.

Ladies and gentleman, introducing the crowned princess Teresa Hard Lemonade the Sixth!

Check out some of the clips from a few of my ‘flicks of the evening’:
Made of Honor – Patrick Dempsey is sooooo dream*eyelashes fluttering*
Enchanted – an adorable movie clip (Amy Adams steals the screen)
The Princess Diaries – the shots on San Fran make me miss the city =[
