It was a hot sticky summer night. There wasn’t a breeze, but the sun was going down. I found relief from the heat indoors and was about to relax when it happened. A man with a mysterious smile asked me one little question, “What are you doing tomorrow night, kid?” “Daaaad. You know I’m supposed […]

Arrivederci, I Miei Amici!
As mentioned last week, I’m headed to Italy…uh, right now, actually. I’ll probably be on the plane by the time you read this. It’s bound to be one of the best summers ever, if everything goes swimmingly, though it does come at the cost of regular updates here on Unwind. I’m sure you’ll miss me. […]
The Proposal
I don’t usually write movie reviews, but I just can’t help myself after falling in love with my newest favorite romantic comedy this weekend. See, I consider myself somewhat of a romantic movie snob/expert. I’m what you might call a typical girl, whose taste for movies centers on the optimistic, dreamy, and overall wonderful. I’ve […]
Good ol’ R&R
The movie theaters are being flooded with new and exciting movies. There’s Hangover, The Taking of Pelham 123, Land of the Lost, and (coming soon) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But all this action, all this drama, even all this humor, it can get tiring. The world just seems full of excitement nowadays. And I say, […]
Link Dropping: FreeRice
Y’know, I get a pretty significant amount of crap for pursuing Professional Writing. Mostly from people who can’t use your/you’re properly, come to think of it, but it still seems like the world at large just doesn’t appreciate word fanatics quite like it used to. The talk now is all about “actually making money” and “having […]
Catching Rays and Hopefully Not Diseases
The days are longer. Skirts are barely legally long enough. Bikinis have taken the place of the need for any real clothing item. Hell, the other day I saw an overweight fifty-ish year old man in dripping neon swim trunks buying a slushy, jerky, and candy bars at the 7 Eleven -gotta love Oklahoma’s small […]
Otis
Okay, it’s been a long week. A really, really long week. Maybe it was the weather, or maybe it’s the fact that its summer, and being the responsible adults that we are, we’re working. Whatever the reason, it was a long week. So, what better way is there to relax and blow off steam but […]
Scribblenauts
How can I open up for what could be the most creative game of all time? How can I take those pretty, pretty words I hold so dear and make them dance for a game that does it even better? It’s hard to admit, ladies and gents, but I’ve been bested. Ego defeated, pride shattered, […]
A really Fat Sandwich
Alright, I covered the deliciousness of the make-your-own burritos and now I must cover the awesomeness of the make-your-own sandwiches. You guessed it, Fat Sandwich Company! The only place (other than home, anyway) where you can make your favorite, grossest sandwich combination ever and no one looks at you funny.
Exciting E3
Left 4 Dead 2? Super Mario Galaxy 2? Halo: Reach? Drop any bombshells like that a few weeks ago and you’d be subjected to the sound of silence. And laughter. Lots of laughter, lots of scoffs, and probably a few insults for good measure — until now. That’s the magic of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, […]
