Everything I Know I Learned from Downton
We’re now half-way through the second season of Downton Abbey, and I thought I’d share a few tidbits of information I’ve learned from the British drama (most of which are meant to be humorous).
Edith could learn a thing or two from Dame Maggie Smith.
1. My hair would look so much better if I had an Anna. 2. I would probably subscribe to a newspaper if I had someone to iron...

“The world was in a dream before the war, but now its woken up and said goodbye...”

Required Reading for Downton Fans
So, it’s Monday. Which is honestly made more depressing by the fact that I’ll have to wait an entire week to get my Downton on. Not even Gossip Girl’s royal wedding event/100th episode (which I have not watched yet) can entice me. So I’ve compiled a list of books to make the weekly withdraw a little less Downton deprived. After all, it’s called intelligent...

For Love of the Crawleys'
Looking over my Tumblr/Twitter/Blog I came to the abrupt conclusion that I am obsessed with Downton Abbey. Its been known to happen before. I spent roughly two years of my youth convinced I was Belle. The late ’90s found my walls plastered with cutouts of Leonardo Dicaprio and ‘My Heart Will Go On’ rocking my boombox 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Let’s not forget the...

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum
As one of my resolutions for the new year, I made a list of books I’ve started and would like to finish by the end of this year. I’m already under way with my completion of The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. Read it: It’ll make you think (which is a good thing, in case you were wondering).

You've Been Chopped
I’ve been playing catch-up with Food Network’s Chopped lately. My boyfriend and I come home to a full line-up on our DVR, settle down with dinner, and then it gets intense. We both have our own opinions, our own candidates, our own favorite judges.
But there’s one thing we can both agree on: Alex Guarnaschelli is Chopped. I know many will scoff, but seriously - her ridiculous...

“Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.”

So I hear you like PA Dutch literature? →
I’m kind of a nerd. I was proud of this so I published it so that other nerds could appreciate it as well.

“We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white...”

Forgetful much?
Oops… I knew I forgot something (for the entirety of December) - that I started a blog! So on top of my numerous other 2012 resolutions, I will be trying to remember to regularly blog.
So here’s to 2012! And (hopefully) a much improved life!
