The weather is warming up quickly, the chilly windy days are almost completely over around here (for those of you gawking at me, I live in the mountains, so it stays colder longer here). I’ve already cranked up the air conditioner a few days in a row now. Last year in May I took a…
It’s Time to Get Naked
If you’re not already Naked, you totally should be – if you’re getting ready to shower, that is to say. I’m talking about Naked Naturals shampoo and conditioner. I got a sample in the mail the other day of Naked Naturals Citrus & Keratin Fortifying Shampoo and Fortifying Conditioner. First of all, you should know…
Grilled Cheese for Algernon
One of my best friends and colleague’s wife is a nutrition major at the university where I work, so she’s pretty crazy about how many carbs and nutrients are in what her friends and husband eat. She often makes neat sugar-free or low-carb snacks and sends them to work with her husband. I enjoy it…
Did you know Oysters could kill you?
Two Gulf oysters are being prepared in a kitchen. One oyster says to the other “Boy, it sure is hot in this kitchen.” The other oyster looks at him and goes “AAAH! A TALKING OYSTER!” But seriously folks. Oysters are no laughing matter. You could die. Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium that resides in seawater,…
Quite Possibly a Vampire
The last couple days I’ve had several severe migraines, like back when I was getting my wisdom teeth. It seems directly proportional to the amount of sunlight to which I’ve been exposed. I’ve mostly gotten over my temporary lactose intolerance, but I still seem to have bad acid-reflux from other food items. Last night Kylara…
Sparring for Fun and Stress Relief
When you’re frustrated, as I imagine many people are at the end of a long work week – you’re probably looking for some way to work out some stress and then unwind so you can enjoy your weekend. While some people like to do this by hitting the night life, getting drunk, or doing recreational…
Freaking Friday, Finally
My nearly complete lack of sleep has caused me to alliterate in my post title. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, as though you could ignore it. Mine went pretty alright, except for spending most of it at work. I spent my lunch hour with my valentine, which made the day a little less hard at work.…
Rumors: Posh Spice May Have Had Liposuction
I was reading on the internet today about how Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has appeared in several photos recently that have ignited rumors that she may have undergone the plastic surgery treatment known as liposuction. I know, a celebrity having liposuction – big surprise there. But I’ll tell you what does surprise me. Posh Spice…
Being a Man: Ride to Destruction
Before you get up in my face with the name-calling and chauvinist comments, I’m in no way saying that women don’t enjoy danger and nearly killing themselves doing stupidly awesome things. I do know that there is some primal part of me that gets excited thinking about jumping off of stuff and blowing things up.…
Hey, How’s Your Colon?
You probably don’t have anyone in your life that will randomly just ask you how your colon is doing. So I’m doing it for you. How’s your colon? I really don’t want to know the answer – but especially younger people who are not willing to admit they’re becoming grown-ups may overlook this important part…
