So it’s been a week since I’ve last posted. Partially because well, so much has been happening it’s hard to know what to talk about first.
Obviously, the best place to start is the most important news! I have a new niece! My brother Benjamin and his wife Valerie had a beautiful baby girl, Elaine, this [...]
I find it hard to believe there are people out there who don’t know the major plot points of Friends if they actually are interested in the show, but just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last two decades and have suddenly become addicted to the show- there are tons of [...]
(I would positively love to get more opinions on this- please keep them coming in the comments section or send me an e-mail at newsyharpgirl@gmail.com)
I freaking love controversy.
Maybe that’s like saying “I like watching train wrecks,” but it’s true. I absolutely love watching people get riled up and passionate about something they believe in. [...]
My flatmate Kate has been playing Oregon Trail, the BRILLIANT old-school computer game, online at this great website for the last hour or so. She put me and other people we know into the game, so occasionally hilarious things such as “Rachael, you have typhoid!”, “Stop bear, I need to shoot you!”, or “All these [...]
I refer sarcastically of course, to the insane amount of walking around I do in my average week. I mean- I haven’t ever really added it up, but I would imagine it amounts to over 20 miles weekly, when you add in walking to and from class, to and from Tube stops, to and from [...]
I love how I don’t blog for a few days and then I suddenly forget everything I was talking about before. What was really cool is how I actually had a decent amount of visitors on Saturday without blogging at all, just because I’ve had enough of a buildup of posts on interesting topics that [...]
Horrible article up today- I’m so glad this law is getting protested but at the same time, I’m appalled that there are women out there who support a law that literally forbids a woman from refusing to having sex with her husband.
“The crowd of 200 Shiite women and around 300 men chanted slogans in favour [...]
This article from the Chronicle of Higher Education was sent out over the Mason History Department listserv (yes, indeed, I am actually a History major- I’ll explain that later)- I thought it was particularly interesting.
Written by Thomas Benton, the thesis of the piece is that despite the enthusiasm of students, graduate degrees in the humanities [...]
I know- Random post, right? It’s just I’ve gotten a little obsessed the last few days with this new blog I found- Cupcake Project- where this lady must like, take whatever comes into her head that day and makes them into glorious cupcakes which she then makes all her friends taste at fabulous parties.
I want [...]

Well, at least larger hippocampuses.
I had my last dinner tonight with my parents- they’re flying back to the States tomorrow. Afterwards, I walked out of the hotel, noticed the drizzling rain and the lateness of the evening and decided I just really didn’t want to take [...]
