Stuff I’m watching: Naruto (seasons 1-3)
*disclaimer: I am no where near done with Naruto. In this new segment for my blog, which will be quite short (or long...probably long for me since ya know...I write too much...)

A short ode to Barnes and Noble: my 500th trip
The fresh smell of books even after a long day with whiny (but cute) children never fails to get my hands hungry for buying a book with money I don't have. (Yet.) Thank God that didn't happen, but I'll be glad to tell you what did happen: Laying my eyes on some books I've been… Continue reading A short ode to Barnes and Noble: my 500th trip

‘I Have a Dream’: reading Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech for the first time
Of course, everyone has learned about Martin Luther King Jr. in school. Growing up, I remember reading his I Have a Dream speech in part with my third grade classmates and believing to my little self that racism didn't exist anymore, and that we weren't in the times that Dr. King was in during the… Continue reading ‘I Have a Dream’: reading Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech for the first time
