My boyfriend made the hugest mistake of his life when he presented the board game “Scene It” to me as a birthday gift. My enthusiasm for board games can only be rivaled by the overly happy and creepy family picture on the cardboard cover of most games (even then, I can out-happy them). “Scene It” comprises of 2-5 teams all competing to answer movie related trivia questions and puzzles for the coveted position of Most-In-Need-Of-A-Real-Life. I’m not a particularly competitive person but this game allows me to indulge in the belief that I actually know something. I am already a relatively loud person (after all I am Puerto Rican) but during this game I am an explosion of shouts and laughter even when the opposing teams are sitting silently in thought. If I know the answer I will tell you so at an ear-popping decibel that will make the tiny capillaries in your eyeballs burst. You know how I do.

If sushi where a human being, I would date it, marry it and have tiny sushi children with it. Thus, The Sushi Kit was a well recieved birthday present from my older sister. It includes everything a terrible cook will need to create a ball of rice with pieces of raw fish inside. This was a nice way of saying, “Stop cooking”.

The end of the Fall semester feels close at hand, however the only way I can fully enjoy the holidays is when one of two things occurs first:
1. I successfully complete my 13 page research paper on the situation of Cuban exiles in the United States and detained elsewhere.
2. I die.
I will further expand on my academic woes in a later post because right now I just don’t feel like crying.

My mother and I checked out Mark Montano’s book Dollar Store Décor from the library and found a multitude of cheap and easy projects that we were interested in doing. Using one of his examples, I created a cute sequin decorative candle to match my Asian-themed bedroom. Check out the flicker gallery to see how I did it and how you can too.
