Let’s Make a Movie

*GULP* Tomorrow, I will begin filming for the short documentary I proposed for my Publishing and Distribution class. In case you haven’t been following my blog for the last few weeks, I’ve basically committed to creating a very short [3-5 minute] documentary reflecting on my life as a yo-yo dieter and borderline OCD-calorie counter. My…

Jitterbug Perfume

Today’s post is going to be extremely short. In fact, it pains me to write these words, as every moment I spend typing is a second that could have been spent reading. A colleague of mine recommended the book, Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins, to me several weeks ago. In the midst of school, work,…

The Hall of Fame

For those of you that do not know, I’m a current student at Full Sail University, majoring in Creative Writing for Entertainment. Full Sail University, located in Winter Park, FL, is an entertainment and media arts school. For the past four years, they’ve hosted what is known as the “Hall of Fame,” which is when…

The Unintentional Hypocrite

Let me preface this post by saying that I don’t think there is such as thing as an intentional hypocrite. I strongly doubt that people wake up, get their morning coffee, and add “commit hypocrisy” to their to-do list for the day, right below “take out the trash” and “clean the gutters.” I believe most…

Marriage

More often than not, marriage is a series of compromises, discussions, concessions, and sometimes full on pout-outs [primarily by the lady, I’m…

So, I might be a masochist after all.

I started a new class on Monday entitled, “Publishing and Distribution.” As you can imagine, it’s all about… [wait for it]… publishing and distribution! Who knew? In this evening’s lecture, my professor expounded on the final project that we’re going to be working on throughout the class and delivery at the end: the creation of…

Babies can wait!

Now that my husband and I are going on our 6th year of marriage this April, most people feel it’s appropriate – if not actually mandated in some way – to ask when we’re going to start popping out babies. The way they talk about it, it would seem that it’s my moral and cultural…

The Memoirs of a Yo-Yo Dieter

I’ve finally decided to take my own advice and launch a separate blog to detail the love-affair I have with food and my constant journey to live a healthy, nutritional life. As a forewarning, I’ll try to keep my optimistic tone in the majority of the posts, but I plan to be honest and forthcoming…
