Water Ice →
After months of my boyfriend and his various college friends trying to explain what “water ice” is to me, and how it is NOT shaved ice, it turns out, it is just Italian Ice.* I KNOW WHAT ITALIAN ICE IS. How come no one ever mentioned it is Italian Ice?? How come SEVERAL PENN ALUMNI (Ivy League, y’all!) couldn’t adequately explain it, let alone just say “it’s...

Harry Potter vs. Carmageddon
Carmageddon, the weekend long closure of a large chunk of L.A. freeway, threatening to bring the entire city to a standstill and forcing us to prepare to bunker down and subsist on meat cooked over a flame, could not be happening on a worse weekend.

100 degrees or more all weekend →
I showed this to Jim as he was packing for our weekend trip. Not only am I taking him to meet my family for the first time, but I am also taking him to do so in a suburb of Fresno. Where we will help set up for a two year old’s birthday party. And then go to said party. Jim may or may not have just said “What did I get myself into?”
