405x77-about-me

You cover enough news stories, you talk to enough people, you go to enough restaurants, you see enough movies and TV series and you listen to enough radio and you’ve got a few things to say. Especially if you’re a sassy single gal working in a hot college city.

Enter the power of the world wide web and you’ve got a blog (and an awesome one at that)!  Here you’ll find news commentary, movie and TV reviews, a hot tip on a cool place to burn some time, and a great place to eat or two…all with some important food news you can use.

It’s the stuff I love and love to write about. I hope you love reading it!
