Fewer debutantes.
Nope, not in New Orleans! And next year’s season will be featuring my high school classmates. Guess who won’t be honored then (or invited for that matter).?

What is it with Britney Spears playing on the...
I know she’s making a comeback and “cleaning her act” and all, and that she’s from Louisiana. But even so, playing “Womanizer” or “Circus” every half hour? I don’t remember her ever getting this much play-time, even back in the day. Overkill much?
Fine, “Womanizer” is an excellent anti-science guilty pleasure on occasion, played on...
How NOT to apply for summer fellowships:
1. Leave your essay until the last week before it’s due. 2. Realize that you won’t be able to work on it much that last week since you’ll be out-of-town. Try writing ahead of time. Fail. 3. Discover that the fellowship requires a complete transcript only wait, you still haven’t received your Philosophy grade. 4. Two days before it’s due, when you’re sick and...

I haven’t Tumblred this much in one day since August. This is a tad bit ridiculous, as is me going to sleep before midnight, which I’m about to do. What’s next?

holga:
So, you know, I’m always behind on these things like this, but I’ll share it anyway.
“Word count journal is a new blog format where you write one word your first day, two words the second, three words the third, etc. By the end of a non-leap year you’ll have written a total of 66, 795 words, more words than most novels.
Who’s up for it? Reblog with links if you are.

Blog run (or formerly run? I can’t tell) by one of my fellow Times Picayune high school interns. Spec should take note of this, even if it isn’t from an Ivy newspaper. Content and design look fantastic.

Whoa.
And oh yeah,
I’ve been in Maryland/Washington D.C./Virginia for the past week or so, hence the lack of posts, etc. My cousin got married on Saturday, so I got to spend oodles of quality time with members of my dad’s family who I only see at weddings. Woot. Only I was also sick for most of the trip, so I wasn’t able to sight see or party it up at the reception or anything. Pity. D.C. is one of...
It’s Monday morning, 6:45 AM, at the Baltimore Airport. I’ve already been awake for two hours, since my family had to drive from the D.C. area to catch a plane back home. Our flight is in an hour, the lines are horrendously long, and I want nothing more than to go back to sleep. And it doesn’t help that I’m still sick from whatever bug I picked up last week and that...
I have a nose redder than that of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Bloody colds…

I haven’t decided whether or not I like this blog enough to subscribe to it RSS, but I figured I’d give it a shot after seeing it splashed all over NYTimes these last few days. This is also the first big Desi blog I’ve come across, which is pretty exciting. Even more exciting is that my mom of all people reads this blog! My mother… being aquainted with the blogosphere!...
I DIDN’T FAIL OUT OF BIOLOGY!!!! THIS SEMESTER WASN’T A TOTAL BUST! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! (And Zack, I’m sick as well).

Coworker's Child: Why do you like guys if they're mean to you?
Me: Well... that's a good question...
Coworker's Child: You're just too pretty to go after a guy who can't get over his fear of cooties.
Finally home! Snowstorms are wonderful except when they screw over flight schedules.
