So I don’t really like or follow American football, but I DO still wind up knowing to some degree what’s going on with the Redskins by living in the DC area and being stuck listening to it against my will at every turn. So here’s my prediction for this season, put into writing so I can … More Facebook Post: September 1, 2015
Nic Pizzolatto should hire me for his True Detective writing staff. My entire job would be to administer the following quiz every time he tries to introduce a female character: 1. Is this female character a sex worker? 2. Is this female character’s entire identity defined by her relationship to a male character? 3. Does … More Facebook Post: August 10, 2015
Sometimes I get a little carried away with Facebook posting, probably because it is one of my only outlets to vent, write, and be listened to. Maybe I’ll manage to transfer my rantings to this blog instead (though that didn’t really work out with Twitter- damn you character limits!). In the meantime, I’m archiving a bunch … More Facebook Post: August 26, 2015
A little over a year ago, I injured my back quite badly in a volleyball tournament and found myself bedridden for a prolonged period. At first this predicament was a dream come true, because who doesn’t love a good excuse to lounge around in bed all day reading and watching Netflix and claiming to be … More Twitter: @blondieoz #YearOne
Five Star review, originally posted here on September 5, 2013. Laurel Caverns was great from start to finish! Their website is very informative and clear, which is always a plus.

Four Star review, originally posted here on September 5, 2013 and updated on August 27, 2015. ORIGINAL POST: I’m surprised by some of the negative reviews here. Kentuck was a pretty typical, nice camground. It’s relatively big, so there are plenty of options and variety. I’d been warned about the alcohol policy but took a … More Yelp!

Five Star review, originally posted here on July 15, 2015. We got lost coming home from a wedding this past weekend (damn you, lost satellite reception!) , which mostly sucked because we were tired and hungover and were stuck sitting in the car for forever navigating tiny back roads. BUT, it was all worth it, … More Yelp! Review: Leo’s Steak Shop in Folcroft, Pennsylvania
Four Star review, originally posted here on June 18, 2014. Poe’s Tavern is the type of place that I would LOVE to love, and that comes super close to being awesome, but just missed the mark by making just enough mistakes to leave me grumpy. I’m a big Edgar Allen Poe fan, so I LOVED … More Yelp! Review: Poe’s Tavern on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina
Three Star review, originally posted here on June 7, 2014. I work nearby and LOVE grabbing lunch from Red Apron (the connected posh butcher shop), so when I noticed that they have a hip-looking bar in the back, I could not wait to give it a shot. When we finally got to swing by for … More Yelp! Review: The Partisan in Washington, DC
