    Emily’s Wacky Wednesday Internets Round-Up: Week 8

    Welcome to week 8 my crispy, meat-filled internet Hot Pockets! So much has changed in the world since our last installment of EWWIRU, don’t you think? For one, everyone has gotten way more opportunities to make jokes that use Old LeatherBag von Fangmouth’s (which is what I call Schwarzenegger) most famous catchphrases. For two, our…

    Emily’s Wacky Wednesday Internets Round-Up: Week 6

    Hello my precious, tiny, water-polished friendstones! You are the mystic crystals that give me the energy to keep the weekly round-ups, well, weekly. It’s been 6 weeks! In that amount of time I could have taken my yearly allotted vacation (if I was a Nokia executive), recovered from a C-section (if I was that kinda…

    Emily’s Wacky Wednesday Internets Round-Up: Week 5

    Bonjour my little golden internet tater tots! EWWIRU is BACK and wackier than ever! But it’s also going to be a little bit shorter than ever because based on the (non) feedback I got from two weeks ago (very good reason for missing last week), I decided that people probably don’t care much about my…

    Even The Sports I Played Were Super Dorky: Another Athletic Failures Confession

    To round out this week’s un-official, or at least un-premeditated, Tangential theme Bad At Sports (or “sport” for our readers in the U.K. I know we have SOoooo many), I was thinking of making my offering the story of the single and certain moment when I knew I was destined not for a life on…

    Emily’s Wacky Wednesday Internets Round-Up: Week 4

    Sha-WHOO I thought I would never make it, but I did! I crossed the finish line and did not even TRY to pass the torch. I am on a relay team with MYSELF (in keeping with our theme this week, my athletic failure story is coming soon). I am a champion of deadline-keeping and frankly,…

    Emily’s Wacky Wednesday Internets Round-up: Week 3

    This is the longest I have ever kept up with anything, I think. The reading of The Fountainhead. The playing of the French horn. The learning of the any language. The desire to be a social worker. The quitting of nail biting. Are you guys enjoying this? Because I have a couple gems for you…

    No. Seriously. What Is Seriously In Your Bag?

    I’m sure you have seen this post idea before or at the very least you have played “pull out the weirdest thing in your purse right now” as a bar game with your girlfriends. (Side note: Do not try to play that game with my friend Basia. You will not win.) You know what it…

    Emily’s Wacky Wednesday Internets Round-Up

    I don’t know about you guys, but I am always trying to find more ways to get Becky to like me. That’s why I invented (what I can hopefully keep up as) a weekly series where I basically take all the links of the stuff I IM to Becky to keep her full time employed…
