December was hectic. Between finishing up with finals, working during break and sorting out our family’s Christmas plans (and presents)—it wasn’t until two days before Christmas when things started finally slow down for me. I was able to catch my breath. I was able to be with family and finally enjoy the holiday.
And enjoy the Christmas present memory of riding in a horse...

a (very special) new thing
[ Sigma 18-50mm lens ]
It was this time last year when I gave myself the goal “if I want to try something—just try it!”. I wanted to push aside my anxiety, and my fear of failure. A big part of that dealt with being more proactive and more creative with my blog. I’ve always been blogging, whether on tumblr or way back during xanga/livejournal days, and I wanted my...

With all the hype about the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books and the subsequent movie—which makes my list of top ten favorites, David Fincher made a truly amazing film—I finally gave in and bought/started reading the first book of the trilogy. And when I say...

*(merry christmas! in german)
After an early start and a busy day, I’m finally relaxing with my family and on the couch cuddled up next to Chris and the pups. I’m now dressed in Rudolph pajamas (that’s right, matching top and bottoms gifted from my momma), eating...

Look what Chris has stashed under the tree…
With the exception of Friday night, we spent the entire weekend huddled up at home. Towels lined against the door to keep the cold air out. TV marathons. Cooking together. Sharing a bottle of wine, and then ...

dunzo!
FINALS ARE OVER! NO MORE STUDYING! NO MORE WRITING!…until next semester. And no work ‘til Monday. Free time? Hmm. Sounds nice.
today = making Christmas presents, watching the first Sherlock Holmes, snacking like crazy, going to see the new Sherlock Holmes with friends, and playing Just Dance on the Wii.

an update aka project 3 of 5
Here’s a peek of one of my five projects (+an exam) I had due for finals. This project was for my fiction writing class and we had to write a story and turn it into the professor in an audio format (cd, mp3, etc.) T and I had a lot of fun (even though we didn’t finish until 3a this morning) playing around with the music and adding in sounds/noises. Then we ran with the idea of ...

Things that I don’t understand and don’t want to talk about:
