Lemme guess.  First term paper is due, eh?
Sorry, kids.  The days of stunning Shakespearean analysis from yours truly are over.  Oh, I can totally still do it and get you an A [...]

Every time I see an online or offline ad for The Other Boleyn Girl, my eye starts to twitch and my impulse to kill rises. It’s not that I absolutely hate Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Eric Bana—well, I admit, I do a little, for various reasons such as Troy and the Star Wars [...]

This past weekend in Michigan was nothing if not hectic. I am, this week, droopy-eyed and yawning, even with the help of some Wild Sweet Orange tea and some hazelnut coffee. My energy is shot, and I don’t know what it’ll take to recover from the past month and a half. Someone [...]

Five years ago, I graduated from college.  Five years ago, I sat in Crisler Arena and listened to Lee Bollinger tell me that I didn’t need to know everything, and that indeed I’d be constantly amazed by everything I didn’t know, but that knowing a few things very well would help get me through life.  [...]

Surely you jest.
Update on my work?  Well, for all my procrastination, it’s nearly done.  I mean, what the hell?  What does a woman have to do around here to not get stuff done?
Anyway, life is quiet, if not cold, right now (and I mean cold in the most literal sense).  As soon as I hit [...]

Phew, taking a break from the morning’s activities.  I got up at around 8am this morning and changed into running clothes, but was struck immediately by a horrible side pain that will NOT.  GO.  AWAY.  Is it psychological or am I really in pain?  I do plan on running later on, but given how the [...]

Like most people my age, I feel that grammar was a subject that was poorly taught, at best, in elementary schools.  I really don’t recall sitting down to parse sentences.  As far as I can remember, we were taught that nouns were people, places, or things; verbs were "action" words; and that we shouldn’t overuse [...]

I’m attempting to write a small writing sample - something brief that lets a potential employer know that I can put together words adequately enough for anyone to digest.  I know I can do this if I try.  One of my problems, though, is that I’m stumped on my topic.  I thought that it would [...]

Heh.  No shit.  So I speak 10% Dixie?  I’d like to graciously protest that I DO NOT!  I had no idea I was such a Yankee, either, though that just might be recent influence.   If I had taken this about four years ago, I’m relatively sure I’d be 90% General American English.  When asked if [...]

Because, m’dear, you need a great editor.
I swear, everywhere I go, someone has screwed up their syntax, grammar or spelling.  I want to gnash my teeth and rant and scream and cry out "Hire me!  Hire me, I’m ever so smart!"  Major corporate logos are messy.  Major corporate slogans are atrocious.  I know most people [...]
