Today’s Daydream: Higher Education

 
It’s been in my mind for the last year or so that I want to go back to school. And I’ve arrowed it down to what I want to do: get my MFA in Graphic Design or any other kind of New Media/Visual Design. I’ve gotten the “but you already have a Master’s, you should [...]

Maybe I Shoulda Caught the Bouquet…

So the wedding’s over. There were laughs, there was crying, there was dancing. And there are pictures.

Go here for Part 1 of the Pictures and here for Part 2.
I didn’t get to do the Beyonce hairstyle… it was too hard. I snatched up on of my drawstring ponytails and worked it out.
So that is [...]

Today’s Daydream: Tokyo

I’m thinking about learning Japanese just so I can go visit Tokyo. I dunno. I think Tokyo Drift has been seeping into my mind. Also I want to steal one of their cell phones that are like four years ahead of what we’re jazzed about here in the U.S. (I’m sure they’re laughing at the [...]

Life Lessons Learned By Watching Oxygen All Day Sunday

So I decided, sort of on the spur of the moment, to braid my hair, so I needed something to watch for the entire span of time it would take. I decided on Oxygen so I could catch up on the last few episodes of “Tori and Dean” and because I saw there was a [...]

Tributes

So, most have heard the news about the passing of Bernard “Bernie Mac” McCullough (October 5, 1957 – August 9, 2008) and Isaac Hayes (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008).
It’s so sad to have two greats in the Black entertainment community pass so suddenly and so close to each other. I just wanted to [...]

Old School Friday - Lenny Kravitz

Ah, this week’s Old School Friday is “rock music” (thanks Mrs. Grapevine).
At first, I was gonna choose Jimi Hendrix and “Hey Joe” but that brought back too many memories of an old boyfriend (he was my first love, his name was Joe, this was one of his favorite songs, yadda yadda), so I decided to [...]

Always a Bridesmaid…

Some of you might have seen me mention something about being a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding. I just wanted to show off my progress thus far. I’ve been procrastinating on getting it altered (not for any specific reason, just because I keep forgetting to bring my shoes with me).
Here’s what we have:
The Dress

Blogging While Brown Conference And ATL, Part 2

Click here if you missed Part 1.
After getting only four hours of sleep, I headed out to the Blogging While Brown Conference which was held in the Georgia World Congress Center. It was around 8:45 am Saturday morning and registration closed at 9:30. That should be enough time, I told myself. That, I realize now, [...]

Old School Friday: Boyz II Men

At the BWB Conference, Villager spoke about his Old School Friday meme. He saw me nodding and teased me by saying I wasn’t old enough to know old school music. So I decided to join in with the meme for today, at least, with my Motown Old School selection: Boyz II Men - Motown Philly
