About Me

I am very busy trying to be a newlywed (I scored in the husband department btw) and a Sociology graduate student and research assistant at the same time. I'm also trying to get back into shape, and this year I am determined to return to Bikram yoga, even if I have to give up an hour or two of sleep to do it. I can't wait to post photos myself in impressive asanas.

My Interests

Reading, writing, Bikram yoga, talking about politics, meeting interesting people, research, Sudoku, Scrabble, filling my head with useless trivia (making me very good at games like Cranium), singing in my car, photo restoration, Sim City

Movies:

Little Miss Sunshine, Usual Suspects, As Good as it Gets, When Harry Met Sally, Good Will Hunting

Television:

Reality television - and no, I'm not ashamed of this. E!True Hollywood Story. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Shark. Boston Legal. Monk. Psych. Frontline. The Closer. How It's Made. Law and Order (okay, I'm a little ashamed of this).

Books:

New year, new highlights coming soon Last great book I read in '06 was Stiff, The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach. Fascinating.

Dirt

Tonight we finally got around to watching the first episode of Dirt. Wow. So far my favorite part of the show remains the catchy Peter Gabriel tune in the teasers. Does it get any better, or should I ...

Living Library

Speaking of books, my mom gave me this great idea to bring your library to life: sign every book you read. We both have huge book collections, and wanted to show ourselves how many we have actually re...

Book Resolution

Happy New Year. This year, I resolve to read more (well, I'll probably resolve more than that, but I don't actually make resolutions until my birthday, which is next week, and yes, I do realize that t...

Useful Cold Medicine RIP

I am very mad at meth lab operators today. I am visiting my grandma (I call her my Reina, for future reference) in a small town in New Mexico, and I've caught a cold. I wanted to get some cold medicin...

Domestic Bliss

He loves me, it's official. Even though I am, evidently, some sort of kindred spirit to Lucy of I Love Lucy fame, he genuinely loves me and doesn't appear to be just tolerating me. I'm getting ready t...

Blogging and Leave it to Beaver

I have started maybe 30 journals in my life. I love the idea of crisp, new pages ready to be filled with my life and thoughts. Unfortunately, once I get going, and some of the pages get dogeared, or I...

Baby Powder Deoderant

Last night I when got home from school, my husband was very happy to see me. As soon as I got through the door, I put my stuff down and he came over to hug me. I reached up to put my arms around him.....

Color Me Patriotic

Call me partisan if you want to, but I'm just a little bit proud of my country today.  =)
