In the Room Where It Happened OR 59 thoughts I had while seeing Hamilton on stage in Chicago

Note: Gifs are from Original Broadway Cast version in New York. 1. Why are my hands shaking? I’m not performing. 2. I’m SO FUCKING EXCITED. 3. What if one of them has a sub-par voice? I’ve been spoiled by the original Broadway cast recording. 4. Wonder if they’ll have a female Burr or Hamilton ever…Continue reading “In the Room Where It Happened OR 59 thoughts I had while seeing Hamilton on stage in Chicago”

31: The Year of Happiness (or something like that)

If you’ve read this blog…ever…you know that me and happiness go back and forth. I continuously try for it and have gotten so much closer in the past few years in so many ways. So, for a while, people kept telling me “You need to read this book, the Happiness Project.” Never one to shyContinue reading “31: The Year of Happiness (or something like that)”

Swarles Barkley

Today is my soon-to-be brother-in-law’s birthday. Whoa. That’s weird to say. I haven’t wrote a blog about him before, but since they’re getting married now and he’s gonna be around more, I guess I should start. Just kidding, he’s been around for 10 years already and this wedding thing is really just a formality toContinue reading “Swarles Barkley”

Notes on a meatless existence

• A lot of restaurants make up for their lack of a vegetarian option by offering a “veggie sandwich.” Veggie means no meat, of course, but what they lack in dead animal they make up for with cheese. No bueno. • Hamburgers smell better than they ever have when you’ve told yourself you can noContinue reading “Notes on a meatless existence”
