How to Turn $120 into $10,020
In no particular order, here is a list of things that don't come naturally to me: fashion, being nice, sports of any kind, teaching things. There are more but those are the main ones. I was horrendous at these things before but quarantine has made me practically allergic to them. In regards to fashion, I'm … Continue reading How to Turn $120 into $10,020
Did I Dream That or Did I Do That?
Happy day after Easter everyone! I'm hurting. Nothing emotional, just pride-wise. Here's the thing: I'm sure I've mentioned this a time or two but... I'm Mexican. And do you know what my people do on Easter? We drink, A LOT. Too much and now I'm here, playing my favorite hangover game "did I dream that … Continue reading Did I Dream That or Did I Do That?
Review: Open Book | Jessica Simpson
I used to sing. Shut up, I did. I started with Tejano music then moved on to Freestyle music (it made a comeback in the 90s and you had to have zero talent). Then I opted for pop music because it appeared that that's where the money was at. If Britney Spears could get a … Continue reading Review: Open Book | Jessica Simpson
Funerals Bring Out The Kid In Me
Age is nothing but a number. It's such a cliché thing to say but it's true. It has to be or the reality is I'm mentally aging in reverse. In fact, don't even ask me how old I am. I'm relearning numbers. Recently I attended a funeral that I was not prepared to attend. Not … Continue reading Funerals Bring Out The Kid In Me
The Typical Jenn Experiment
Did you know there are perks to working a job you hate? There are very few of them, mind, and some people may think of them as "reasons to not set the boss's car on fire" as opposed to "perks", but they do exist. One is a paycheck. Another, for me at least, is sometimes … Continue reading The Typical Jenn Experiment
Review: The Last Black Unicorn | Tiffany Haddish
I have a dream. And that dream is to one day be a guest on Comedy Central's Drunk History, both as an actress and as a drunk person. No, really. I realize most dreams consist of purchasing homes or getting a Master's degree. Not me. I want to be drunk on national TV talking about … Continue reading Review: The Last Black Unicorn | Tiffany Haddish
Review: The Tao of Bill Murray |Gavin Edwards
I have a problem, and that problem is when it comes to work I have a hard time saying 'no' when someone asks me for a favor. This leads to me over-extending myself, which stresses me out, resulting in my transformation into a volcano of rage. The mere thought of having to add anything - … Continue reading Review: The Tao of Bill Murray |Gavin Edwards
This Month I Said…
We've all done it. We all dwell on it. There are even ridiculous amounts of memes dedicated to it. It's an epidemic that we've let affect us for too long. I'm talking about foot-in-mouth incidents and today, I take a stand against the effects these misfortunes have on me. Today, I will free myself from … Continue reading This Month I Said…
Review: Failure is An Option | H. Jon Benjamin
OK, so here's the deal with this book: it's hilarious. I'm talking it made me cry-laugh. H. Jon details his failures from childhood to his most recent - failing to do two different voices for Bob (Bob's Burgers) and Archer (Archer, duh). What I love most is this book never turns inspirational. There's no advice … Continue reading Review: Failure is An Option | H. Jon Benjamin
