As promised, it’s time to share about the rest of our Southern California Spring Break Extravaganza. Then, I can return to writing about my life in real time so you don’t miss out on any of the gripping events that take place in my current day-to-day. Like how we made chicken on Wednesday [...]

Spring Break

The halls open at 1:00pm tomorrow, and all that we’ll hear for the whole afternoon and evening will be the clack clack clack clack of rolling suitcases along the stone entryway, and squeals of “how was your BREAK!?” and “OMG you’re like SOOOO tan!”  How will I possibly sleep tonight when there’s so much to look forward [...]

At the close of each academic quarter, all students living in the residence halls are required to leave the hall for the break.  Before they go, we ask them to complete a few simple tasks…nothing complicated.  All we ask is that they unplug anything electric, turn their heat down, and clean the sinks, toilets, and [...]

When I fell asleep last night, Winter Quarter 2008 was, in my mind, over.  All day, I’d seen students rolling their suitcases out of the dorm with that relieved, “thank-God-I-finished-finals-and-didn’t-pluck-my-eyeballs-out” look.  Friday’s Outlook Calendar was unusually void of it’s normal slew of back-to-back meetings.  The lines in the dining hall were non-existent.  Yes, Spring Break [...]

This whole blogging thing is the best…especially if you’re like me and you are morbidly curious and love peeking into the lives of others.  Reading blogs is the e-version of sorting trough people’s drawers and medicine cabinets.  Not that I’ve ever done that. 
Perhaps this curiosity is why I am so easily sucked into reality TV.  [...]

In the past, some of my blog-ies (i.e. “blog buddies”…clever, no?) have posted the search terms that have led internet surfers to their blogs.  I was recently looking over my “blog stats” and thought you might enjoy seeing what Google searches have led people here in the past 2 1/2 months.
“how to start meaningless chit [...]

Recently, I’ve developed a comedy crush on Kristin Wiig.  She would be the ideal funny aunt or next-door neighbor.  There are some great videos on her website…if you click “Media” then “Videos” then “Characters” you’ll find links to some of her best SNL sketches.  My favorites are:

Big pile of duty

Each week, one Residence Life staff member holds the on-duty pager.  This person has to stay within 5 minutes of campus the whole week and responds to the scene if any “incidents” come up.  You also get to clip a pager to your belt all week long, causing passers-by to wonder what early-90’s drug ring [...]

If only…

I got an e-mail forward featuring these pictures in the middle of last week’s chaos.  They made me want to bend me knee and thank the Lord for the glory of Photoshop…and also pee my pants laughing.  Thanks, Caryn!

This past weekend, I took a day trip to Vancouver, British Columbia.  Yes, Canada…our new home.  The trip was initiated by my friends Mike and Brian, but I was obviously eager to make another visit to Vancouver.  The last time Lisa and I were there, we sat in our car for an hour crying and [...]
