Indulged any residual All Hallow’s Eve hunger for the strange and weird with a second helping of ZombieLand tonight in the bowels of our nation’s capital. Meanwhile Mom, Kate, Bree and our cousin Kathleen learned about friendship, celebrity, and sequined hot pants at the Miley Cyrus concert next door. Having carted my group of screaming [...]

Dasad, I discovered had never experienced the beautiful chaos that is the Disney theme parks. This realization shocked me a little, as Dad has our yearly exodus to Florida planned and booked at least a year in advance (Typically, the week after returning to Maryland, growls are heard, demanding our schedules for next summer). Visiting [...]

Common practice in today’s world takes great joy in reproofing stereotypes.

One could hardly dispute the honesty and justice of such protests, expounding the potential of each [...]

If he manages to pass, he gains the title of boyfriend and man. If not, we eat eighty dollars in gas money, snacks, and tissues. Either way, it should [...]
Hard of Hearing
