  • I never thought I’d defend Spencer Pratt…

    Apparently, Heidi Montag has ditched her husband’s managerial skills in favor of a psychic’s. Spencer is a pretty big fame monger – and I’m pretty sure that while we all think he’s a waste of space, I’d rather have him as a manager than some dude who thinks he can see the future. So to…

  • Guess what came today in the mail?

    Guess what came today in the mail?

    Yep, my delectable little treats from Amazon. I love these little snackaroos … and as you can see I didn’t finish all of it…. before I took the picture to share. I totally dominated this as a post-class snack.

  • There must be some hanging chads….

    There must be some hanging chads….

    …. cause I’m unclear why America voted for there to be a “computer engineer” Barbie. There are a few other things that I’m unclear about: 1) who was the voting population 2) what were the other options 3) I haven’t seen any computer engineers dressed like this Since I like to be thorough, let’s really…

  • How I spent my sophomore year

    How I spent my sophomore year

    I spent a significant portion of my sophomore year watching Golden Girls. It also helped that it was on a whole lot – and that it was significantly more exciting than Intro to Philosophy with my grad student professor. He was “unique” and often seemed like he was half asleep – which I’d like to…

  • I'm a rebel

    I'm a rebel

    The definition of a mullet: business in the front, party in the back. I often feel like my nail polish has been a bit of a reflection of my “mullet”. Ok, I know that’s a bit of a stretch … but check out my logic. Before business school, I worked at a Big 4 Accounting…

  • Extreme advertising?

    Extreme advertising?

    I’m a fairly conservative person in many capacities – but I like to think I keep an open mind. Recently one of my friend’s gave me one of those coupon books that you find in the lobby of apartment buildings – specifically one’s that house undergrads …. Normally, they have discounts on burritos, tanning, and…

  • Almost Amazon…. almost

    Almost Amazon…. almost

    So, as you might remember I spent all of last week sitting on a beach in the Dominican Republic. As part of that super stressful and exhausting work week…. I read a lot of magazines, and they were not always educational. So, after seeing countless pictures of Elin Nordegren sporting a Nike sweatshirt I realized…

  • Guilty pleasures…

    Guilty pleasures…

    I have many things in my life that bring my pleasure… but buying in bulk is one that never ceases to bring happiness. Once a semester when I am home with my parents, I go to Walmart and stock up. I live alone, theoretically, I could get by without buying toiletpaper in bulk… and yet,…

  • Pricing of Products… and how it affects diffusion

    Pricing of Products… and how it affects diffusion

    I was at the gym the other day and I saw this girl working out in those special foot gloves. The technical name is called “Five Fingers”. I have seen these around a few times now – and to be honest, I’m still a little weirded out by the whole concept…. but I’d be willing…
