Quality vs. Quantity…or a Little of Both?

July 13, 2010

In Minnesota, there are two seasons: Winter and Construction. Needless to say, if it’s above freezing, there’s road construction all over the place. When I first arrived from Virginia, I kept calling home to my mom saying, “You won’t believe how fast these people move!” Yes, I was in awe of how quickly the road […]

Connecting with The Girl Who Played with Fire – Internship Opportunity

July 11, 2010

Lisbeth Salander is a woman I’d never want to double-cross. Too bad plenty of bad guys never learned that lesson. Stieg Larsson created a wonderfully complicated woman in the character of Lisbeth. She breaks the rules, takes matters into her own hands, and manages to fight her way through all kinds of tribulations. If you […]

Being a Funny Girl

July 8, 2010

Have I ever told you that I grew up thinking that life really was a musical? People would spontaneously break out in song and dance, knowing an invisible orchestra would provide the score?

Play Like a Human

July 1, 2010

As a ballerina, I’ve dealt with bleeding toes, messed up knees, and a dislocated ankle. For four years of varsity crew, my bands were ripped up and callused from the oars. In soccer I shoved and got shoved, slamming into hard-packed dirt on fields without enough funding to be fully covered with grass. Female athletes […]

June 29, 2010

There are times in our lives when you see someone or something they did, and your inner monologue responds with: “Jackass.” Should you accidentally blurt it out, you might catch a couple turned heads, but they’re probably just happy you said it first. Unfortunately in the warm-fuzziness of political correctness, we can’t call a spade […]

I love this movie, and if you haven’t seen it, you should. I wanted to let you all know that I move to St. Louis this week, so I’ll be taking a two week hiatus to get settled. I’ll still be hanging out online, but stay tuned for new posts to show up the week […]

The Action of Growing Up

June 10, 2010

What do you want to be when you grow up? When I grow up, I want to be a ballerina. When I grow up, I want to be a Women’s Olympic Rower. When I grow up, I want to be a CSI, a naval architect, a florist, a Broadway singer, a forensic psychologist, and many […]
