Wow. Only three posts in and I'm already slacking. I am extremely busy at work though. Plus I'm getting ready for my mom to visit. Plus I was sick this past weekend.
I know, I know, lots of excuses. Sadly, I'm only here to tell you that we're still in a dry spell. I'm going to guess until around September.
Sorry?

August Musts
Wow, it's been a week since my last post. I may have already started to slack off, but in my defense, it was definitely a busy week. This week shows no promise of slowing down either. Maybe the following week will slow down a bit, giving me time to breathe and write up a bunch of posts. This is more than likely wishful thinking, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
And by the way, hello, August. Way to sneak up on me. To welcome the new month, I thought I'd share things I think you ought to know or do.
To watch: Remember Me
Now before you make some crack about Robert Pattinson and Twilight, I have to tell you--this movie was amazing. Frankly, it's the end that truly makes the movie. The rest of the movie isn't bad, but it's not necessarily amazing either. Trust me though, and watch it. Then let me know you've seen it, so I can talk to someone about it.
To read: Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn
This is probably one of the most upsetting and eye-opening books I've ever read in my entire life. Why? Because it's about real women in real third world countries. While I'm sitting in my apartment with A/C and typing this blog entry, other women are struggling to survive. It really motivated me to try and find a way to help. I've definitely slacked on doing something, but I've started to get serious about it. (PS-if you know of an organization that helps women in the Philippines, let me know!)
To listen: Bang Bang Bang by Mark Ronson (featuring Q-Tip and MNDR)
I like this song, but instead of explaining it, just hit play.
