So I pretty much spent my week preparing for Hurricane Matthew (which thankfully didn't end up hitting us here) and then being exhausted from all the preparation, so I really don't have much to talk about. It's funny though how, as a kid, I never wanted anything serious to happen but always wanted the hurricanes to come close enough that school would be canceled (we don't have snow days here, we...
Happy October, everyone! Not that I really have a special affinity for the month, but it seemed a fitting way to start the post. I thought I was finally going to have a rant-free Weekly Update, but alas, it just wasn't meant to be. Something always has to go wrong, Murphy's Law and whatnot. But you know what's great about having a blog and having people who actually read it, other than the...
Alright, last week I mentioned cinnamon brooms because, drumroll please... I gots myself a cinnamon broom and I'm all excited about it! I also promised you a story though, so here it is. Cinnamon is probably my favorite scent. I just LOVE it. (I also like to eat it, but that's not the point right now.) So for years growing up I begged my mother every holiday season to buy a cinnamon broom, but...
Code red! Code red! People from real life are finding my blog! (If you're one of those people and are reading this right now, hi! Please keep reading before getting offended, I'm going to explain!) Ok, so, two people have recently followed me on Instagram, which links to my blog. And honestly I'm fine with these two particular people seeing/reading my blog (so you're totally welcome to visit and...
First of all, if any of you knew/knows anyone who passed or was injured or even survived through 9/11, my thoughts are with you today. And now, because I never know how to segue out of something like that without sounding insensitive but also without dwelling on sadness for too long, I'm just going to go to the next topic which is that it's official: computers hate me. You all know how my...
Well, it's been another uneventful week for me in "real life." But uneventful is better than bad, so that's ok. Let's see, what else... Did you all know that you can "shuffle" and "repeat" playlists on YouTube? I did not. I want to assume it's a new feature just so I don't feel like such an unobservant idiot, but I don't think it is lol. I listen to a lot of playlists on YouTube though, so that...
I don't even know what to talk about this week. I spent my last two weekly updates talking about gymnastics, and now I got nothin'. No, really, that's it for the intro lol. You may proceed to the bookish stuff...
Time for more gymnastics updates! And let me tell you, the event finals were SO AWESOME. I won't go through everything or list every winner though, I'll just tell you my favorite parts. I've never seen a gymnastics competition as emotional as the men's floor finals. I couldn't even be upset that the US didn't medal because those guys who did (Max Whitlock of Great Britain, Diego Hypolito and...
Forget "real life" today, let's talk Olympics! For anyone who hasn't been watching the gymnastics, I'll fill you in. There were two injuries last week, which was unfortunate. A French male gymnast fractured his leg in two places on vault during the trials and couldn't compete (which is just heartbreaking), and a British female gymnast fell on her head on floor during the trials but managed to do...
Wow, I actually don't have anything "real life" to talk about this week. Oh! The Olympics have officially started, so that's something. I have to admit I didn't bother watching the opening ceremonies, but I'll definitely be watching the gymnastics :-) It's not often I actually get to watch gymnastics on TV, so the Olympics is a very exciting time for me lol. Other than that, as I said, nothing to...
