A New Kind of Application for “The Bachelorette”


I got to thinking about what we haven't seen and what we do need on this show. And you know what it is? It's me. Now I've already considered applying for the main role. But I also more enjoy eating and can't wear a dress without a bra. I have something different in mind. Introducing...

RinR: The Week in Things


So guess what I saw? A crocodile. Two, actually. My boat driver knows that I like seeing capybaras, and will often drive me over to go look at the small herd of them on the little patch of lagoa where... Continue Reading →

RinR: Wed-nes-days


What is it about teaching on a Wednesday? I can't remember if they were as difficult when I was bartending or waiting tables...is it all M-F 9-5's or is it every job? Is it just being alive? Wednesdays are like... Continue Reading →

RinR: The Week in Things


Last week was my birthday, so I am older and wiser and can dispense much wisdom. Here's a tip: get in shape when you're young, kids. It's so much harder when you're older. I'm trying to do this workout/eat-right plan... Continue Reading →

time capsule: thirty-one
