“Nothing in moderation” is my motto. So when I had the chance to head upstate for Easter, I made sure to visit four towns in three days. You’ve already seen my Owego and Corning, NY photos! The majority of the trip was spent in the ‘burbs of Buffalo, NY, visiting family all over the area….

Small Town Charm: Owego & Corning, NY
When you live in The Biggest City On Earth (well, at least The Most Important Big City On Earth), sometimes it’s nice to get away from it all. That’s why Brooklyn exists! J/K Brooklyn, you know I love ya, betch. So when I go upstate to visit family, I always insist on stopping in my…
Adventures in Boston!
Over my school break, my boyfriend and I drove up to BOSTON for a weekend! I’ve never been, but often said I want to visit! (Side note: apparently I did visit as a child, but was too young to remember. Gotcha on that one, Mom!) You would not believe the hotel we stayed at. Right…

FEELING: Overworked and overwhelmed. I just got back from a school break and right away it’s back to the grind in a big way! I’m worried about next year still, but after the emotional roller coaster of this school year, I feel like I can handle anything that gets thrown my way. This year has…
5 Fandom Friday: Goin’ to Con
Oh me oh my, in my little life I’ve only ever been to the last 3 NYCC’s! This prompt was hard to figure out because I’m not really sure what’s out there as far as Cons even GO, so I included some other fandom-related places I’d like to go as well. 1. NYCC ’15 is…
New Year's Meme by Sunday Stealing!
The New Year’s Eve Meme from Sunday Stealing! In 2014, I gained: a new job, a new friend, and a hot boyfriend. Hi! I lost: my first pet, Charlie. I stopped: working in retail – “and that has made all the difference.” I never realized how shitty I was being treated on a daily basis…
Thanksgiving Recap!
I am way late in the game talking about my Thanksgiving adventures but here we go – I went upstate to spend the big day with my boyfriend’s parents, then dragged him down to Binghamton to meet my parents…and drink a ton of Scotch. Oh, to be fair, we didn’t just drink Scotch! I drank…

FEELING: Excited and challenged! I have a lot of catching up to do at my new job but I’m so excited to feel so useful, and I love hoping that I can make a difference! I feel like I should have done this a long time ago. WATCHING: After watching Cold Case at the laundromat…
#tbt The Traditional Thanksgiving Butter Turkey
Ah, 2012 – spending Thanksgiving with my mother’s family. As the only gluten-free vegetarian in the family, Thanksgiving is kind of a lame holiday for me. I am reminded of the Mean Girls quote, “Is butter a carb?” No. No it is not… …which means that I (fortunately!) am able to enjoy the family traditional…
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N
Ladies and gentlemen, my esteemed readership: as you read this I am waking up in my childhood home, probably hours before anyone else, debating whether it’s worth waking the dog to trek downstairs to frustrate myself attempting to operate the coffee maker. In the meantime, please help yourself to some posts from last year’s vacation…

FEELING: Dotty and dopey and dripping with dandyness! Sunny days are here at last and I’m making the most of it, stretching my legs on the sidewalks and giving flight to my fancies. I’m taking strolls and seeing sights so sweet it’s like my heart could burst. WATCHING: Monday Night is still Hulu night as…
Brooklyn Flea
Yes, folks, Brooklyn Flea is bizarre. Uh, a Bizarre Bazaar. And it suits me just fine. I made the schlepp out to BK on a very sunny Saturday morning and was stunned to find first, the Brooklyn Flea is…kind of hard to find. I had to walk several blocks along a highway, through construction sites,…
