I went on a long-ish vacation this week, to celebrate a friend's wedding. One thing that every person in the bridal party has in common is that we are all obsessive cat owners. And being away from home, we really, really missed our cats. Somehow, between various wedding duties, we were able to fit in a trip to a cat cafe in beautiful Palm Springs, California. The cafe, cleverly named Frisky Business, was wonderful. The cats? Purrfection. The staff? Doting and delightful. It was the perfect ther…

Welcome, fellow Middle-Earth enthusiasts, to a realm where humor intertwines with the beloved world of The Lord of the Rings . That's right, it's Tuesday, so you're gonna wanna brace yourselves as we embark on a journey through another meme gallery crafted with devotion to this timeless saga. From Boromir's unforgettable "One does not simply" meme, forever capturing his desperate plea for the wisdom of the Council of Elrond, to the legendary "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!" musical rem…

Happy Monday

"Oh, what a beautiful mornin'. Oh, what a beautiful day. I've got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way" I used to listen to that song, aptly titled 'Oh, What a Beautiful Morning,' every morning before school. It was my way of willing myself to have a good day. When you're a teenager, having an awful day is incredibly easy, and you have to try so hard to be happy. Listening to joyous songs about the morning was my way of getting in a good mood in case something horrible happened at scho…

Do you still have the unbridled whimsy and joy of a child? Do you long to go back to being eight years old just for a day? Do you ever cry that you're never going to be a happy kid on Christmas morning ever again? To answer those questions: no, no, and never. I don't miss being a kid at all. When you're a kid, you can't go anywhere, do anything, and you have nothing. You've got less freedom than you'll ever have for the rest of your life. I'm not one of those adults who wants to watch kids' mov…

I'm not feeling so hot. It's hard to pinpoint one reason for this ennui. But a quote from a wise hobbit man comes to mind when I think about my current state: "I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin… sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don’t expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to." Yeah, it's a sad day when I'm quoting the fictional character Bilbo Baggins in relati…
