Life is all about choices. I often choose traveling, laughter, alcohol, bread, butter, and chocolate. . . This blog is all about my random musings and awkward life.

I Tried Gwyneth Paltrow'€™s Diet

This review of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Diet in her new book It’s All Good is pretty hilarious…I’m not a huge Gwyneth fan (certainly not like the reviewer - I didn’t love her in “A Perfect Murder”) but I still thought the review was reasonably balanced and funny…showing you can eat uber healthy but often times it comes down to resources - time and money.

Spring and Summer means one thing round these parts. Trivia at Neon’s. Bill’s Grill is open and the questions are flying. If only we could answer them correctly.

Nothing makes me feel more stupid than a dozen questions that a third grader could answer.

Google it Bitch…teexxttt mee!

Eliz. Warren wants to cut student interest rates to near zero

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has introduced her first piece of legislation. It’s called the Bank on Students Loan Fairness Act, and would reduce the rate students pay on federally-subsidized student loans for one year, from 3.4% to 0.75%.
Without congressional action, on July 1 the rate is set to double from 3.4% to 6.8%.
Warren brings up an interesting point – her bill simply asks students to pay the same rates that big banks pay for borrowing.


She’s literally just asking if college grads can get the same deal as bank CEOs. The exact same interest rate. Not even a bailout or anything fancy (pipe dreams!) - just the same interest rate.

Currently on replay.  I think it’s pretty self-explanatory but in a nutshell, it’s a funny and amusing distraction to writing dissertation stuff right now.  The end.

OMG, THIS IS WONDERFUL. Thanks Robin Williams, seriously.

Kim Kardashian bought Penelope Disick a miniature Balenciaga bag. It’s not that I’m against kids having designer handbags (I’m very pro-designer handbag), but this is just a joke. First of all, she captioned this on Instagram with “Awe Penelope is wearing the little Balenciaga bag I got her for Christmas!” And, she’s not wearing it. Her dumb-as-rocks aunt is holding it near her.
Second of all, that bag is too small to hold anything bigger than a cotton ball. If it can’t fit a credit card and a lipstick, it’s not a handbag.

Jess: You can’t escape Destiny; she comes for us all. That relentless bitch. That’s right, Destiny’s a lady.
Schmidt: Destiny might be a lady, but victory has a penis. Direct quote - Scott Caan.

Hang in there, Penelope. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but I don’t like liars.
