Hi. I thought I'd drop in to give a quick update as to what I've been up to lately. 🙂 Homework--it has buried me and I'm in the midst of Shakespeare's damn sonnets (which I actually do love) and mid-terms. I've already completed my Anthropology mid-term, but still have my English mid-term to take by… Continue reading Updates and #Stuff

Let’s Keep it Real
Last week, I received a belated birthday card in the mail from my friend Deni and her boyfriend J. It's such an awesome card, that I feel the need to share its message with you. The words on this card truly express my friendship with Deni over the last ten or so years, and if… Continue reading Let’s Keep it Real
What I Need
Most of you know, especially if you follow me on Twitter or are a Facebook friend, the kind of week and a half I've had. My paternal grandmother passed away on June 11th, two days before my birthday, and I spent my birthday at the mortuary and cemetery planning g-ma's services with my uncle, as… Continue reading What I Need
The Last One
My last grandparent died on Saturday morning around five o'clock. You've seen me talk about her a lot. I call her G-ma. She's the only grandparent I had left since 2003 when my other grandmother (on Umi's side) passed away. She died on grandpa's birthday, August 31st. Before her, grandpa died in February 1995, two… Continue reading The Last One
Cake or Death?
I thought I'd start this post with a little Eddie Izzard, one of my favorite comedians, and this is my favorite part of that particular skit. I was actually looking for a different part of that show, but couldn't find it, so I decided to settle with Cake or Death because really, it is a… Continue reading Cake or Death?
So, Here’s the Deal . . .
I've been editing Nemesis like crazy . . . okay, that might not be true because I've been dealing with mammograms, ultrasounds (both came back fine), CT scans of my head (no, it is NOT empty, just as y'all believed), and the new development of migraines because I've had one for the past two weeks. Seriously?… Continue reading So, Here’s the Deal . . .
Conversations with Umi
If you follow me on Twitter and have for some time, you'll know that I've tweeted things my mother says from time to time. I used the hashtag #umisaid for a long time before finally creating this Twitter account - @umi_g_. Shh, while Umi knows I tweet the shit she says (which hasn't been much… Continue reading Conversations with Umi
A Good Cause
Dearest Readers, I'm postponing this week's recipe post because this is more important. You all know the troubles I've faced these past couple of years. Several of you have helped me in many ways, from financial support to emotional support, and I've thanked you countless times for your generosity and caring. I'm asking you once… Continue reading A Good Cause
One More Time!
I'm moving again next weekend. Yep, you read that correctly. *sigh* Someone please shoot me already. The cool part? ~ Newly remodeled apartment, no pet deposit, no cleaning deposit, and it's on the ground floor. The bad part? ~ I'm moving again. ~ There's also the fact that it's ALL tile floors. Have I mentioned… Continue reading One More Time!
G-ma
It's been an unexpectedly emotionally draining day. My grandmother is in a nursing home right now. She's been back and forth between there and the hospital ever since she fell and broke her knee early January. This was the first time I'd been able to visit her in the home, having seen her at the… Continue reading G-ma
