Seriously, who eats White Castle? That junk is straight up SICK. Every time I pass the White Castle on the corner of 13 and Coolidge on my way to Whole Foods (a place where I can get REAL, HONEST FOOD), I have a serious gag reflex from the gross stench permeating from the [...]

I thought the hilarious (read: nerve-wracking) events of Denise’s resurrection from the mud should be documented, so here goes.
Amy, bless her heart, volunteered to try to move my car in the morning before she left for work. It should be said that my sister is usually out of the house and on her way [...]
Metaphors are a bitch: how the first day of Spring ate my car.

I’m stuck in the mud. Well, I’m not stuck in the mud so much as Denise (my car) is. See, as much as I love Berkley, I also despise it: you can’t park your car on the street overnight without getting a $10 ticket, and you can’t block a sidewalk with your [...]
It’s the little things…literally.

I have a love, nay, an obsession with miniature objects. Any close friend of mine is able to retell a classic story involving me fawning over “mini beers” that were actually regular-size 12oz. bottles of beer that, in earnest, looked miniature to me. This was during a time when I frequently imbibed 40oz [...]

Piggybacking off my post about Jesus and doing good in the world, here’s something nice and light-hearted. This is reason number #823509 as to why I love Swedes and Scandinavians in general: super fun music that makes you giggle and wiggle in your Levi’s.
As a 1/2 Norwegian-American girl, seeing this music video and hearing [...]
Rock Jesus.

Call me a huge nerd if you must, but I have a secret soft spot for musicals. It must be because my not-so-secret “flare for the dramatic” side needs companionship every now and then, and musicals make impeccable bedfellows. And last night, I had the opportunity to snug up with a [...]
Praise Be to Berkley.

I love Berkley, Michigan. How could I not love a city where I live a mere block and a half from the cutest pizza shop/martini bar on earth, Amici’s Living Room They not only has delicious, nutritious pizza but also equally delicious and nutritious martinis–both of which make me swoon like a [...]
Art is only art when made public.

Thursday night, I had the joy and the honor to see a legendary man speak and read about his journeys, his art, and his dog’s poop. Yes, his dog’s poop.
Gary Snyder. Nearly 80 years old and, at first glance, not unlike a spry grandfather who dominates dinner conversations with “Back then,” tales, he [...]

This has nothing(everything) to do with my tax refund.

Waking up in the morning to a fresh blanket of snow covering the world outside my window can elicit one of two kinds of emotions in me:
Oh, joy! Of all the beauties in the world, there are none quite as majestic as a beautiful layer of pristine snow just waiting for a greeting from my [...]
