WatchEver wonder what the movie ‘Up’ would have been like had it been made in the 60’s? Well, ask no more. This fake trailer is beyond great.
Pretty awesome.

Kate Middleton nail polish by Butter London -
The limited-edition nail laquer is grayish-blue and glitter-infused, according to Nonie Créme, Butter London’s creative director. And of course, it gives a cheeky nod to Kate’s pre-engagement nickname, “Waity Katie.”
Way to class it up, Butter.
Consider it bought. I haven’t even looked at it yet but I’m getting...

Chocolate Cake in a Mug
I’m a fan of cake, but over the last few years have been very limited as to what I have access to. When you live in a sorority that does not allow those living in it to use the stove (safety reasons, I understand), you learn that a microwave can be your best friend. For me, I wanted cake. And with the discovery of Betty Crocker’s Warm Delights, I was happy, but in hindsight, had I...

You’ll miss all-nighters and taking Photobooth pictures of you and your friends looking insane after 36 hours of no sleep. You’ll miss having the knowledge that it will all eventually end. All of this hard work leads up to a winter break, spring break, or summer. When courses end, grades are given out and you move on. After you graduate and get a nine-to-five job, there is no...

(Answer: I’m pretty sure this SyFy original—starring Summer Glau and Tom Skerritt, aka Viper—already told us.)
Well. This could go two ways - horribly or with the opening of a Jurassic Park.
My Live Chat with Blackboard Customer Service
David: Hello Trevor Meyer, my name is David. How may I assist you?
Trevor Meyer: When I log in...it shows the class I taught last semester...not the one I'm teaching this semester.
Trevor Meyer: Can you help?
Trevor Meyer: .
Trevor Meyer: .
Trevor Meyer: .
Trevor Meyer: I could tell you a story while I wait...would you like that?
Trevor Meyer: I'll take your silence to mean yes.
Trevor Meyer: There once was a young professor...
Trevor Meyer: He enjoyed teaching, but didn't have a ton of free time.
Trevor Meyer: So when he tried to upload his lectures to his blackboard account, he was saddened when he found out that there was no place to put them.
Trevor Meyer: He didn't know what to do.
Trevor Meyer: But then...THEN...he saw that he could live chat and get help.
Trevor Meyer: So that's exactly what he did.
Trevor Meyer: Now I know you're probably wondering...did he get the help he needed?
Trevor Meyer: And that's a good question. Quite valid, actually.
Trevor Meyer: But you see, this story is the best kind of story...the type where you can choose your own adventure. So you tell me, David...did he get the help he wanted?
[At this point I waited for a bit before I ended the chat and tried again]
David: Hello Trevor Meyer, my name is David. How may I assist you?
Trevor Meyer: David! It's you!!!
Trevor Meyer: Are you there, David?
David: My apologies for earlier.
Trevor Meyer: What happened?
David: We are extremely busy and I missed you chat.
David: Have you requested the course shell already?
Trevor Meyer: Did you enjoy my story?
Trevor Meyer: I don't know what a course shell is...but I'd like one.
David: The story was excellent.
Trevor Meyer: I'm glad you liked it.
[David went on to help me. Thanks David!]

Sensing that I was having a rough morning, the boss asked if I needed a walk. I agreed because fresh air never hurt anyone and the rain had stopped. We decided to walk to this little place a few blocks over that sells Zebra Cakes (everyone knows I love Zebra Cakes), only to find out it was closed for MLK Day. Disappointed, we walked back.
Around noon, the boss noticed I had yet to eat. I had...

Erin vs. the Kettlebell, Round One
“How many of you have done bootcamp? This is harder.”
My kettlebell class began tonight at the Y. I’ve never used kettlebells, so I suppose it’d be fair to say I didn’t know what to expect. Considering I kept calling it “kettleball” class, I’d say I was really unprepared.
But it was so good. I’ll be a little bruised and extremely sore in the...
