I can’t help but [...]



Beating boredom: Marathoning it up

Mar 4th, 2010 | Category: Beating Boredom

So I’ve recently purchased a TV series on DVD, which I will try not to go into to much detail about, as my friends can attest to, I won’t stop talking about it once I get going. All I’ll say is: 21 Jump Street… watch it. Amazing.

Beating Boredom: Sing away those boredom blues

Nov 2nd, 2009 | Category: Beating Boredom

I must apologize for my delay in posting my newest activity suggestion but I was away at a journalism conference with the rest of The Reflector gang. Last week we perused the streets of Austin, Texas, ate way too much tex-mex, took a trip to NASA, and of course sat in on three days of [...]
