It’s probably just me hating all this stupid how-to-guides. How to be a woman, how to be a perfect mother, how to be successfull, how to be a how to be … Anyways, this article made me...

Holiday season & winter sports
[B] Christmas is almost here. And I’m happy to say that this year it seems to be that there’s a lot of snow coming with it too.

[B] Oh my god … it’s really true. After the House passed the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” bill on Wednesday, now the Senate approved the repeal of it too, with 65 to 31 votes. I’m really looking forward to hear what Rachel Maddow is going to say about this.

What I’m trying to write about are American TV series and their excessive use of style.

It's a Wonderful Life
[K] Unfortunately and despite the season, this won’t be a post about sappy Christmas movies (although we are considering that as well). Whether you like holiday movies or hate them (or simply hate holidays), after watching this clip, I am sure you’d love to have read about my selection of holiday favorites instead.

“I want to...
