Washing Hand

I work in an office on campus over the summer and I sit about ten feet away from the unisex bathroom in this office. There are 8 females and 7 males that share this bathroom. The funny things is I have come to find out that almost all the males that use this restroom do not wash there hands. How do I know this you ask...well it's simple but the time they are at my desk, their flush is finishing and they barely make it out the door with flushing, you would think people would take the time to flush a toilet let alone wash their hands. I have always been a washing hands kind of person and when I am using a public restroom, I always make sure that my hand sanitizer is ready to use before I even enter the bathroom. So I guess the point of this post is to wonder why some many people do not wash their hands the bathroom. If you are one of those people, please wash your hands! It keeps the restroom clean so germs do not spread. Thanks

Broadway Review: A Chorus Line

Broadway Across America always stops in Columbus, OH where I live close too and this time A Chorus Line was being shown. The seats I had were not great but I cannot complain when I only paid $5 for them. The show however was really great and there were even some tearful times. It reminded me of how much I miss dancing (I danced for 17 years). It was also very funny at time and the music and lyrics were great. I give it 5 out of 5 :)

Movie Review: Up

Up is a Disney Pixar feature film that follows the journey of an older man named Carl and a young boy named Russell as they travel to South America to visit Paradise Falls. This movie has a running time of a little over an hour and a half and it was enjoyable. It did lack the adult humor that some children movies have but in the end it had it's heart warming point that every parent wants their child to learn. Don't hold on to the past and live in the present. Save nothing for tomorrow and do it today. I give it a 4 out of 5.

Book Review: A Thousand Splendid Suns

For starters let me just say: AMAZING BOOK! I literally read it in less than three days, whenever I had free time. A Thousand Splendid Suns is written by Khaled Hosseini who also wrote The Kite Runner. Unlike The Kite Runner this book focuses on a female's perspective in Afghanistan from the 70's to the present. It was such a great book and even though there were a lot of hardships the two women main characters faced it was such a great book. It gets a 5 out of 5 and I will be recommending it to anyone who wants a good read. I suggest you also find a copy if you have not read it and enjoy!

Book Review: Me Talk Pretty One Day

Me Talk Pretty One Day is by David Sedaris who is a short essay writer and has also written acclaimed books like Naked. I have always wanted to read this book and once I got my hands on it I could not put it down. Each chapter is a short essay about his life and his travels of living in North Carolina, Chicago, New York, and Paris. He discusses how he hates computers and tried to learn french while having a speech impediment. His analogies are hysterical and this book is funny. He does an amazing job describing his life and things that he thinks and it is really cool to feel like you are in his mind. There were some blah parts but over all it was a good book. I give the book a 3 out of 5. 

Movie Review: Bride Wars

This movie starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway is a must see for all of you romantic comedy chicks. It was hilarious and fun all at the same time. It was released in January of 2009, and has just recently come out to DVD. If you have not seen it, I suggest it to you for a girls night. Get the popcorn and martinis ready you're in for laughs that will make your stomach hurt. I give it a 5 out of 5.

Book Review: 10-10-10

10-10-10: 10 Minutes, 10 Months, 10 Years is written by renowned columnist Suzy Welch. Her book allows you to place perspectives on decisions that you probably have never thought of. She explains that when making any type of decision either big or small you should 1. Place your values in the forefront and 2. See what your decision will make your life look like in 10 minutes, 10 months, and in 10 years. The 10 can actually be any number you choose but it allows you to think about decisions and how they will affect your future. Along with 10-10-10 and placing your values in the forefront she also has you consider the pros and cons of your decision. She focuses her main chapters on using 10-10-10 for marriage, job searching, college selection, divorce, and starting a family. It is a wonderful book full of examples and it is an easy concept to grasp. If you have trouble making decisions this is a great book for you and I really suggest you to read it. I give it a 5 out of 5.
