“So what exactly ARE the components of pudding??”
– Two people walking down the street next to me. The the guy said it makes me think they have been arguing about pudding, which seems counterintuitive. One should never argue about pudding. It should be easy, instant even…..I obviously need a nap.
Mania Approaches
I think I’m starting to actually lose it. I have the attention span of a very high fruit fly. I don’t even really have work yet. It is all coming next week. I feel the danger on the horizon. So if I can’t get it together for the bullshit, the real shit has no chance.
Angels is almost blocked. Woot. My lines? Blergh. It’ll be fine. I’m also costuming it, which upon...

I'm regressing.
(on the phone with my 10-year old sister Jaazmin)
me: Hey babycakes.
Jaaz: Hey sissy.
me: Did your mom show you that video I emailed her for you?
Jaaz: What?
me: The one called Hamster on a Piano?
Jaaz: Oh...yea.
me: Didn't you love it?!?!?! Wasn't it HILARious?!?
Jaaz: Ummm....I guess so. It seemed kinda stupid.
me: Oh. well. yea. So how's fifth grade going?
I feel bad for myself.
Obligatory Tech Week Post
Hello Friends,
Things I don’t understand:
1. Why am I so tired?
2. Why do I feel like I have a yeast deficiency?
3. Why did the Chocolate Festival in NY this weekend feature bacon-wrapped chocolate? (or was it chocolate-wrapped bacon?)
4. Why didn’t my dad become President and buy me a goldendoodle?!?!
I need a nap.

Election Day.
Barack Obama’s grandmother died today. My great-grandmother died when I was 11, and could have never imagined a day like the one we are about to experience. She took in my mother and I when we had no where else to go, just as she had done for my mother many years before. She was everything. She was my oatmeal and my soap operas and my church and my song. She and I share our...

WatchI have to give Paris props this Presidential season. Don’t get me wrong. I think she is dumb as a box of rocks. But after that whole “Paris is apart of Diddy’s ‘Vote or Die’ campaign, but forgot to vote, but didn’t die” thing, I thought her publicist would be smart enough to keep her away from politics. But after McCain compared Obama to her, she was quick...
Gotta love Betty White...
I was sitting here with my tv on mute, trying to get some “work” “done,” when I noticed Betty White was on Craig Ferguson. Betty White, who I found out is 86 years old (thanks wikipedia) but doesn’t look a day over 72, has become a kind of go-to talk show guest. Because what could be better than our favorite Golden Girl hammin it up and cursing like a sailor? Nothin.

Question.
Does two nights of the inability to fall asleep constitute insomnia? Cuz that’d be bad.
OR….
could it be attributed to sleeping all of Saturday?
Discuss and let me know, would you. I would spend the night at my aunt’s house as a child. I’d go to sleep and all seemed normal, and then I’d wake up to trays and trays of muffins because she couldn’t sleep.
Good...

Business as usual.
Hello friends (BMS middle school memories),
It’s been a long minute since I’ve been on here, which I gonna say is a good thing because I’ve been too busy to procrastinate on this blog. But with an unacceptable amount of reading comes the urge to blog. Go figure!
So at this moment I am watching the Emmys, loving all that is Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, jammin to my 90s R&B mix,...
WatchI want to have Jon Stewart’s babies. That is all.

Me: It will be the best day of my life. I might actually cry.
A PSA finally helped me.
I was frying chicken tonight and some grease popped out. All of a sudden I flashed back to that horrible Canadian PSA, with woman saying she’s supposed to get married on Saturday but it’s not going to happen because her face is all melty. This prompted me to wipe the floors, counters, stove top all clean. I have finally been served by a public announcement. But it was in fact Canadian....
Olympic Feverin'
I love the Olympics. I really do. And it’s really fun here in Bmore, since our hometoen boy Phelps is kicking ass (tho he is an ass in real life. if you need proof, ask.)
But I find myself thinking what if? What if I hadn’t quit every sport I ever started? I could be at the OLYMPICS!! Gymnastics? The lady told me I’m too tall and lanky(I wanted to be Dominique Dawes, but by...
Suggestions?
Saturday night. and I’m sitting at home watching Transformers with my Ma, whilst watching SYTYCD clips on the YouTube. Hmm.
I’ve been home one week, since my Italian escapade/study/sleepingtime. And I think I’ve done everything that there’s to be done in Baltimore. Crabs? Check. Movies with friends? Check. Napping? Check. Yup, done everything, and I have plenty time left....
Ciao Venezia!!
on my way home. I have a 7am flight, but because Venice is silly and on water, I have to take a 3:40 boat to start my journey home. So you know, haven’t slept in like 20 hours. Oh well.
BMore, here I come!!
Ciao Venezia!! It’s been real!!!!

I was just completely overwhelmed...
with the need for Mexican food. And when I say need, I mean NEED. It was debilitating. Truly. My mind became all fuzzy and wishy-washy, and I lost all focus. Completely overwhelmed. And this was not the first time this has happened. It happens frequently in the Square, but that just means my burrito quota for the week hasn’t been met and I hurry my booty to one of the 4 (5?) burrito places,...
Lost in Translation
That’s where the sexy factor of my trip is, lost in translation.
It is become increasingly clear that I am missing the sexiness that Italy was supposed to bring. Because visually, I should be in heaven right now. Really. There are many, many fine pieces of humanity walking around the narrow streets, rowing Gondolas down the Canal, drinking a cafe in the mid-morning light. Italy manufactures...
Why the "School" part of "Summer School in Venice"...
So I’ve been here exactly three weeks and just handed in my first assignment. It was ridiculous, so so ridiculous. It was due this morning. I started 11 pm last night, had it done in three hours (and done is code for “typed shit”), then got 5/6ish hours of sleep. Now, back when I was in the groove of Harvard-ing, this would’ve been fine. But I don’t think my body...

So I had one hell of a Saturday night. Foam parties, and journeys in search of said foam parties, are intense. And I can’t decided whether or not to post about it. Because, really, a blog entry is not gonna be able to cut it. Quality adventure for Rheeq, and it’s only been week 1. Instead, I think I’m provide you with a few quotations from the night that may help you get the...
“Ciao! Senorina?! Parliamo? I like chocolate!!!”
– Man, as I walk by with a bunch of people. He did work at a gelateria, so he could have been offering me a cone. But I don’t think that’s what he wanted me to…ummm…well, you know. The interest in black women here is very intriguing. I think I am one of 11 on this laguna, and...
Double-Edged Swords
(This is for April.)
This city has NO street signs. None. It’s as if Venice decreed, “We shalt hath not directions.” Like you’ll see a sign saying, “San Marco, THIS WAY!!!!” at one intersection, then at the next nothing. How the poo are you supposed to know where to go next? This is a test. The city is testing me. I don’t like it.
But on the brightside,...
Quality moments:
1. passing by a club with a “Let’s Go Recommended Sign” on the front.
2. two really, really, REALLY cute Italian boys, holding hands as they walked by me. I wanted to ask them, “Where are you going tonight?!…wanna be my friends =)”
3. Seeing an Italian kid in my “Dressed to the NINES” t-shirt. Love you, Barry.

yayz Venice!! yayz!!
So I made it. Granted, I made it two days ago and this is the first time I’ve been able to sit down for any extended period of time, but YAY, I MADE ITT! It was a hell of a trip. I got stuck on the runway in Phili for 3 hours. Yes, 3. I had fallen asleep before we left the gate, woke up an hour later and we were still on the gate. Twas very confused. But i finally arrived to a BEAUTIFUL...
YAY BIRTHDAYS!!!
The birthday has gone mighty fine today!
Kyle called at 12:30am from Cali to have the Veritones sing me “Happy Birthday.” Phone calls are lovely, but when they become a cappella telegrams, they become SWEEETT =)

Now, I’m in my room, smelling my favorite meal being prepped by my mama. Add this to my...

I had a dream last night that Danity Kane broke up. And the kicker was, I really gave a damn about that. My mind really needs some relief.
This week, I have been sheparding around a group of 77 year old alumnae. They are an interesting bunch. Most are wonderfully charming and are amused by their attemts at flirting. But a few of them are straight up cautionary tales. I will NOT be a headband...
Epic exhaustion.
Maybe going home would’ve been a good idea. And it is not an easy task for me to admit that. I have had no break from Cambridge livin’ in months, and it is starting to take its toll. Epic exhaustion is what I have dubbed it. Epic. I just want to get away from it. I miss Baltimore, or more importantly I miss those that are in Baltimore right now ready to pick me up from the airport or...

“I’m gonna GLAW you!?!?!”
– my guess to Barry’s Grizzly Bear charades-interpretation. I think that was a legit guess. But apparently, others thought it to be unfounded. Pish.
“No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up”
– Lily Tomlin, on the state of my life…well, maybe she wasn’t thinking of me, but she was channeling my current disposition.
Another piece of proof that Tyra has no home...
She is featuring women who have lost their hair, for various reasons. As she features these truly sad women, she is swishing her weave back and forth. In their faces. Triflin. I’m done school now. I have absolutely nothing to do. It’s weird. I packed one box of my crap, got tired, and am now in bed. I guess that’s why I’m watching this hot tranny mess of a show.
These are the people I choose to study with.
Sachi: I don’t understand why we’re all sitting here blogging. We’re the only people who read each other’s blogs! Barry: Rachel’s emailing. So is Olivia. I wonder if they’re emailing each other. I hope it’s about boobs, because they’re girls. “Dear Rachel, I have two.” If I were a girl I bet I would have big boobs. And a big nose. ...
