In a Funk

Sep 05. 2012

It's easy to act happy. It's easy to say, "Good!" and paste a smile on your face when someone asks you how you've been doing. It's easy to get off your ass and do things that are required and/or expected of you. Heck, it's even easy to act all chipper and upbeat on your blog, lest a random visitor stops by and decides to check out the first page. With my youngest this past weekend But it's not easy to keep it going. In fact, it's utterly draining. I have my good days, and I have my bad days. And for the last week or so, I have had more bad days than good. I'm not sure exactly why. Is it because the days are getting shorter? Perhaps it's...

Parenting WIN [Flying with Babies]

Sep 03. 2012

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day! We had a fun-packed weekend of parties, cakes, and Korean BBQ. :-) For those who traveled this past vacation — especially with babies, no less — here's a salute to you, and an inspiring story of consideration from the parents of 14-week-old twins. Yesterday, Redditor gigantomachy uploaded the following photo and captioned it, "Brilliant and thoughtful parents handed these out to everyone on my flight." Having previously voiced my opinion on traveling with babies, I can't help but applaud these parents for their ingenuity and consideration for their fellow passengers. This isn't to say that all parents who fly with their kids should go a similar route. Rather, those who choose to go the extra mile are sure to...

Here’s the full list of games (notice that Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy X-2, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 were kept out 😛 ).

  • Final Fantasy (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy II (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy III (PSP, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy IV (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy V (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy VI (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy VII International (PS1, 4 discs)

  • Final Fantasy XII (PS2, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, 1 disc)

Unfortunately, Square Enix has not ported all the games into one system. 🙁 This means that you would need a PS3, PS2 (which also plays PS1 games), and a PSP to play all 13 games.

Which Birth Dates Are Most Common?

Aug 31. 2012

Yesterday, I went to go visit a good friend who had just given birth to an adorable baby girl. As I held the newborn in my arms and chatted away with the proud (but tired) mom and dad, I couldn't help but think about all the other women in my life who had given birth, or is about to give birth, within this 2-3 month period. I also remembered how this time last year, as I was awaiting the birth of Aerin, I knew no less than five other women who were due within a month of me. Needless to say, curiosity got the best of me, and as soon as I arrived home and I immediately fired up my laptop to look...

Each photograph, taken by Candice Milon, features neatly laid out ensembles from some of the world’s most beloved cult films.

Can you guess them all? (I had some trouble with the older films!)
