Pie, pie...I like pie.

CAPES [something empowering] To wish that someone was just like you is the worst compliment that you can give them.

COFFEE [latest trend or addiction] Broomstick pies: take an old broomstick, cover the end of it with pilsbury dough, cook over a campfire, and fill with butter and honey. They're so good, you'll want to move out to the woods permanently just so you can use it as an excuse to eat them on a regular basis.

THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] Graduate school: year 2 of 3 is days from being completed. But who's counting?

Happy Mustachorial Day Weekend

CAPES [something empowering] Live your questions now. Storing them up will cause an inner traffic jam of too many questions.

COFFEE [latest trend or addiction] Fake mustaches are intense (in tents) and pair perfectly with camping.

THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] Did you know that you can use olive oil to clean wood furniture? The spray kind from Trader Joe's works best for this, and it doesn't have a strong odor like most cleaning agents.

Josie's on a vacation far away...

CAPES [something empowering] Sometimes your plans are ruined. Occasionally, something happens that you would never choose to be a part of your plan. And sometimes life throws you surprises. The "un-plans" are what define us, not the plans.

COFFEE [latest trend or addiction] The new coke machines at Taco Time are amazing. I love fountain-style Vanilla Coke. And unfortunately, those [super unhealthy] crispy beef burritos love me.

THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] Bon Iver's cover of Your Love, by the Outfield. Brilliant.

"My roots have grown but I don't know where they are..." (The Head and the Heart)

CAPES [something empowering] A few months ago, I was quite sick. I refused to go to the doctor until my dad said "you will spend money to get your car fixed, but won't fix yourself...". Invest in yourself and your health.

COFFEE [latest trend or addiction] Playing darts at a local pub on a weekly (or bi/tri-weekly) basis is my latest addiction. I especially like it when AVP beats 860.

THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] I wonder if the band The Head and the Heart got their name from the encouraging tip to aim for the head and the heart when playing the arcade game Big Buck Hunter. Probably not, but still...I wonder.
