I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers

Answer me this Grasshopper: why is there poop in the hallway? The Cure’s worse song in my opinion is “Friday, I’m in love”. How did they go from all-angst to an exuberant ode to love? Anyway, I digress (as I’m wont to do). It is Wednesday and […]
Clarice Starling, Indiana Jones and Buffy: living out their fanciful scenes in day to day life It seems that nowadays everyday serves as a test of character. At every turn, there is an ethical dilemma, a quest to do the right thing and a desire to […]
