"Yes, this is for real."

Tomorrow is a big day for me. As I sit here, eating my packed sandwich, typing away, my heart is fluttering. Tomorrow, I get to go ring shopping with Mr. Big.

Ever watch the TV show House? It's pretty intense. Hugh Laurie is one hell of an actor. He's a more cynical version of Dr. Cox from Scrubs, which I like very much. His presuming character is magical to watch and hard to stay mad at.

So many things to talk about.

I'm currently working on a story about bagels. Not just any bagels, but Some Bagels...which are delicious...x 100...

There seems to be a lot of talk about sex education on the Herald site lately. People are weighing in on whether it's indecent to teach these topics in high schools, why it's not right to have abortions and linking it to our presidential candidates.

The Herald is having a giant garage sale in our parking lot. It drew in thousands of small-bill-carrying people, prompting our marketing department to immediately start planning another.

What's with Koreans and eggs?? There's this series called iloveeggs. They're so creepy, yet cute at the same time. You can watch them here. While I do love eggs, I especially love egg yolks, making this cartoon that much more disturbing - the cartoon eggs' heads are the egg yolks, so I'm basically eating their faces.

It's Kids Day here at the Herald, and it makes me laugh. When I look around the office, all I see are people wearing red - even the editors. It really makes you feel like part of the collective "hive."

So my first high school football game in 2008 was not off to a good start. Despite arriving about 40 minutes early to the game, I got stuck in between two teenage boys who had yet to learn the appeals of showering and using deodorant. Surprisingly, one of them had a rather hot girlfriend...Well, hot in a skanky way, I suppose.

While in Seattle last weekend, my girlfriends and I settled on a date to go to Vegas. Yes, the city of sin.

The 2008 Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo is over...and good grief!

Remember how a long time ago, I did a song with Nerdcore rapper Beefy? Well, now you can buy two versions - that's right - TWO versions of it at amazon.com.

As I watched the South Korean team compete in the men's Olympic gymnastics competition, I realized something. No, it wasn't that I love watching the men compete (for obvious reasons), or that Michael Phelps wears his skin-tight trousers awkwardly low.

My boss passed out our Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo press badges today, making it official - fair food is just around the corner!

When you're home alone with nothing to do and no car, you can find yourself either wasting time, or wasting money.

Ever since we launched the new commenting feature on our Web site, it's been pretty popular.

No, this is not a post about pirates and their filthy diseases they must harbor.

Ever seen this movie from Hong Kong called My Left Eye Sees Ghost?

Yay for the best vacation ever!

What...a...day.

So it's day one of the Hydros and I'm melting away. I'm glistening from sweat and reek of Banana Boat SPF 30. But somewhere, two guys think I'm attractive.

I always get pleasantly surprised when I go to Shopko. There's tons of fun stuff for a great price.

This morning I spoke with a statuesque woman about her clothing boutique. Jenna Cadwell was very charming and laid-back, making me think we were sipping coffee in the south of France, instead of at Starbucks in Richland.

Ever wonder what it'd be like to have giant mechas coming out of your forehead? For one unlucky fictional anime boy, it became a reality.

I have a strong bond with my grandma. I think that's who I get my feisty side from.

I finally went into this anime/comic book store. I happened upon it by chance and I recognized the name from years ago.

Why go to the movie theater? You could enjoy a movie much better in the comfort of your own home, right? No itchy red chairs, no walking on popcorn, no neglected children screaming in the front row...

As far as I'm aware, Some Bagels in Richland sells the best gelato. I should go there more often instead of other places.

It was another hot weekend. How hot? Too hot. Way too hot.

In middle school, at the end of the year there was a big Renaissance faire. People dressed up as knights and damsels and performed outside in the big courtyard. There was food, treats and live music.

As a young woman, there are always people telling me what to do. They tell me the decisions I should make due to the beliefs I should believe. It ranges from parents, to advertisers, to my boss, to government officials. Sure, I appreciate parental advice, and I will certainly obey most of the laws (sorry; sometimes I do jaywalk). But when it comes down to some things, such as gay marriages and the right to abortion - I may not sit back and nod my head.

Okay, y'know how I was talking about contemplating on getting a Playstation 3? Like, literally just mentioned it two days ago? I bought one. Well, we bought one.

I can't quite force myself to pony-up the money to buy a Playstation 3 console, yet. It is a little too expensive for my tastes. But that may change in the fall.

I went with Beefy to the Seattle True Independent Film Festival in Seattle, and came back feeling ultra nerdy.

There's this shape-shifting concept car by BMW. It boggles my mind. It'll boggle your mind. Then it'll have you thinking "What the hell just happened?!"

I went to Stonehenge this weekend. What did you do?

I pulled up at Starbucks the other morning, craving a hot caramel macchiato. Unbeknownst to me, I would come across a neat invention.

I'm quite shocked I haven't written about this before, because it makes for very interested subject matter.

Sometimes I wish my life was an anime. The crazy ups and downs you go through and the one-of-a-kind characters you run into aren't too far off from most animes.

I played semi-hostess this weekend along with my parents and brother. I also played semi-cook, semi-presenter, and semi-greeter.

I love eggs, but not the good parts. I love yolks. I used to eat the whole yolks in hard-boiled eggs when I was a little Zilla. I'd cut out the yolks in over-medium cooked eggs, then stuff the entire thing into my mouth.

I did it. I got sucked into A Shot At Love 2 With Tila Tequila. Don't judge me.
