An ode to terrible school photos– awesome.

And finally, you can read my first-ever theater review on the Broadway musical Brief Encounters here.

Video Love ♥

“Falling Slowly” from the movie Once is just one of those mellow, melancholy songs I can listen to on repeat. Perfect for a rainy day. 

With all the recent press coverage on bullying, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made this video to remind people that “tomorrow will be better”.

It all started with a mouse, and an adorable one at that. (Side note: did anyone else see lots of Minnie Mouses this Halloween? Just me?)

What not to do during a live newscast. At least at Fordham Nightly News, we’re better than this!

I love the latest Sara Bareillis video, King of Anything. The song is fun and catchy, and her outfits are pretty awesome.

Video Love ♥

So now’s a good time to know that I love Duffy. She’s adorable and she writes most of her own songs. Plus, she has the whole retro thing going on. My favorite.

Ah, Katy Perry. Completely unapologetic about being manufactured bubblegum pop. And that’s why I  can’t help but love her. That, and she’s cute and her songs are catchy.

The next season of Gossip Girl premieres on my birthday. I hope that’s a good sign. I hope Paris helps revive the show- it’s been getting stale.
