Look how cool they are! See, this is why there’s a disgusting amount of TV shows are about cops. Because these people just look so… so… stylish.

This is the lllaaasssttt Joan of Arc quote. Don’t fret though, I have more…just not from Jeannne DArc (Joan of Arc’s real name).
“Since God has commanded it, it is necessary that I do it. Even if I had an hundred fathers and mothers, even if I was a King’s Daughter, it would be necessary that [...]

I asked people what they thought change smelled like. They gave me the following flowery responses:
Some people think change smells like the changing of seasons. The sweet smell of flowers waters your eyes as they usher in allergy season. The distinctive scent of perspiration kindly lets you know summer is on its way.
Still, others think [...]

IMF? You heard a little about them? Nope, I’m not talking about the International Monetary Fund. I’m talking about the Impossible Missions Force. Word on the streets is that they’re screwing up our economy- and Greece’s- because they’re too busy blowing up buildings, fancy Italian sports cars, and paying for Tom Cruise’s- er, Ethan Hunt’s [...]

Have you ever been to Disney Land? I am sure most of you can say you have.
Well one of my favorite attractions by far is the house of innovations located in tomorrow land I believe.
It shows inventions that are predicted to be invented in the future with examples.
Yes, this is not a ride but more of [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, there are several things that are known to cause apocalyptic situations:

Evil dictators
Nuclear warfare
When good TV gets canned

When Glee, the show with barbed wire wit and snappy music numbers, and Chuck, the action-packed spy thriller/comedy with an endearing romantic angle, both encountered cruel and unusual hiatuses, the world went into shock. This shock [...]

The Media loves a good ghost story. They love nothing more than to lure people into their inky clutches and scare them silly with apocalyptic promises and new and improved weight loss tactics.
This week, Yahoo!’s helping of Doom included a solar eclipse that threatened to throw the world into turmoil because science and superstition isn’t [...]

During the creation of my 120 paged literature piece, I stumbled across an important question.
Is there a website out there that lends a hand to all of us leap-year impaired souls out there who can’t for the life of themselves remember when it is a leap year?

 November is here, and you can be sure that your very own Rika is spending many hours typing out her… interesting plot that includes segway chase scenes, herds of elephants, and a box. A square box.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? NaNoWriMo, of course! Read about it here.
Rika has put together a little toolbox for [...]

I’m a supporter of the McCain/Palin ticket because of one issue: life. I’m pro-life because I agree with the saying “It’s a child, not a choice.” I don’t give a flying fig newton about their other issues because at this point it’s becoming harder and harder for the government to fix the mess our world [...]

The day we swap our tree-eating newspapers and magazines for a sleek, colorful e-reader will be a fine day indeed, and not only for environmentalists!
