    Every year, I like to watch as many of the Oscar nominated films as possible.  This year, I was lucky enough to have seen 10 of the nominated films before nominations came out.  But since there are 57 total nominated films -many of which are still in theaters – I knew I had some work to […]

  • Book – “I am Malala”

    One of my goals every year with reading is to read diversely.  That means not just reading about middle class white people in America as written by men.  It means reading more books by women, by non-white authors, by authors who live in different countries, by people of other religions.  It means reading more non-fiction […]

  • Personal – Snow Days

    Posted on January 27, 2016January 27, 2016
    White out snow

    So, the DC area was hit by a crazy snowstorm this past weekend.  Working for the federal government, I was lucky enough to be given a few days off.  We were sent home early on Friday, which was good because the snow started around the time I would normally have been getting home.  We have […]

  • Recipe – Spicy Mustard Green Pesto

    Mustard Green Pesto pizza

    Considering the fact that my first recipe posted a few weeks ago was for broccoli pesto, you’d think I shouldn’t be posting about pesto again so soon.   You’d be wrong.  The thing is that I love it (see that post), and I find it a versatile substance, which is especially true since you can […]

  • Theater – A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

    My brother Ben lives locally with his girlfriend, as do my parents, and Ben’s girlfriend recently celebrated a birthday, so my mom and I decided to take her out for a night of theater at the Kennedy Center to celebrate.  It also turns out she’s never been to the Kennedy Center, so that was cool […]

  • Travel – Savannah, Georgia

    Posted on January 22, 2016January 23, 2016

    We knew that the month of December was going to be a crazy one for me and the boy, so when we saw travel deals for the new year pop up for both hotels and flights, we jumped at the chance to head somewhere south once things had quieted down.  We’d been talking for a […]

  • TV Shows – Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon)

    Posted on January 21, 2016January 20, 2016
    Mozart in the Jungle, Season 1

    Before we get started – this review/discussion is about season 1. Like…so many people, the boy and I get home from a long day at work, and just want to relax, and not think about the million things going on in the office.  The boy more than me, because I am lucky enough where library […]

    Book Covers for "The Selection" and "The Elite"

    If you think back to my introductory post, you may remember that I’m a librarian, or maybe you know me in real life, and know that I’m a librarian.  There’s a stereotype that librarians like to read, and that’s a correct one.  The incorrect stereotype is that we get to read for our job.  While some […]

    Welcome back from the long weekend.  Step into my kitchen, kick off your shoes, and make sure you’re wearing stretchy pants because today we’re going to eat something that could serious make me a very fat lady if I ate them all at once. Yep – that’s a Snickers Ice Cream bar that I made […]

    Programming note: Monday is MLK Day in the US.  As such, I have a holiday from work, and according to the rules I set out for myself, I get the day off.  I’ll be enjoying my time away, and I hope you all do as well.  Regular posting returns on Tuesday.  And now for today’s […]
