I first became aware of the tragic story of the murders of three young boys from West Memphis, Arkansas through the HBO documentary Paradise Lost. The program chronicled the horrific murders and mutilations of three 8 year old children and the process by which the community and the legal system very publicly convicted three teenage…

Sigh. Admittedly, I love reality TV. I can sit for hours and watch the Amazing Race, American Idol, Hell’s Kitchen. But I’ve never been a big fan of the Housewives. I’ve seen a few episodes here and there – mostly when the Jersey girls were brought on – but it never “caught” me. I think…

Whew – that leaves only bungee jumping and typhoid fever! So, in obvious response to my threat of naked hot tubbing with the new tub, the supreme powers that be saw fit to smite me down to prevent the possibility of widespread hysteria at the mere thought of this pasty white sack of flour nude.…

What kind of person gets an A in a class, then makes an appointment with the chair of the department, complains about the class and the teacher, and walks away disgruntled. With an A. I mean, who DOES that? Oh, yeah, that would be me. I’m back and forth with whether or not to mention…

Not only that, but she doesn’t fart, either. Imagine that. Now we know what all that junk in her trunk is. Come on – seriously? How much pressure are we putting on young girls to be perfect? Remember when we only had to worry about being pin thin like Twiggy? Now, girls have to cease…

And sometimes, it’s not. I’m freaking out studying hard for this semester’s A&P II class – in case you haven’t followed my blog or my Tweets to know how messed up this is making me. One of the things that I’m finding is that I focus way too much on the small stuff – and that’s…
