What Severs My Relationship With Starbucks

The European cappuccino is a force to be reckoned with. I think it’s the simplicity of it. There aren’t a million customizations creating double-shot-extra-hot-no-foam-no-whip-skim-mochas, so you don’t have to spend more than 5 seconds thinking about your morning caffeine fix. And they are far less likely [...]

Hell Hath Frozen Over
Thursday, June 12th, 2008

While clicking through Shine from Yahoo!, I came across this article and what immediately caught my eye was the source link. I didn’t actually believe that Yahoo! would credit Perez Hilton, but oh was I wrong. It led straight to this article. I guess I should look on the bright side: if [...]

Something To Uplift
Thursday, June 12th, 2008

I’ve kind of been in a funky mood the last few days, mostly due to the fact that I’ve been ridiculously clumsy lately leading to some serious scrapes and bruises on various parts of my body. Ouch. What I think is bothering me, though, is that I don’t really believe it was accidental, [...]

Why I Hate MySpace
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

All caps. Is that really necessary?
Just because I live in little Puerto Rico and the sign out my bedroom window says ‘Boriquen Plaza’ does not mean I’m looking for some ‘Boricua Love.’
What the fuck is a MUUUAKSS?
Punctuation, please.
Grammar. There is a difference between ‘than’ and ‘then.’ And that’s just the beginning.
The only [...]

Brug = Bridge

And it only took crossing over about 10 bridges before I figured that one out. Smart cookie, aren’t I? At my rate, I’ll be speaking Dutch fluently in ohhhh, maybe a couple of centuries. If that. Fortunately for me, basically everyone from the Netherlands speaks English [...]

Bridge Over Untroubled Water
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

I spent a lot of this day relaxing in Vondel Park. I even met a little family of ducks that were quite friendly and swam up to me to say hello. Because it rains almost every day, the colors get really vibrant when the sun comes out. Oh, Amsterdam, how I love [...]

When the Universe Conspires in Your Favor

I was about to call it day and put the camera away when I came across this pond full of swans. Whoever designed the gardens at Kaukenhof definitely had a photographic perspective. The entire day felt like it was a professionally styled shoot that made it very easy [...]

Don’t you want to just climb in there and take a nap? So beautiful.

Sex and the City Pros and Peeves: Beware of Spoilers!
Friday, June 6th, 2008

Peeves:

Labels and love are the reasons to come to New York?  FUCK.  THAT.  Had I known that – had I been looking for that – I never would have come. As far as I’m concerned, this is the most difficult place in the world to have a lasting relationship. And most of [...]

Blue and Gold
Friday, June 6th, 2008

I can see why so many high schools and colleges use these as their school colors. Look pretty damn good together, don’t they?
On another note, how stock-y is this image? It’s got the whole “stand out from the crowd” theme going on. Getty, Corbis, can you hear me?? STOCK FLOWER PHOTOS! [...]
