I love gift giving. Not for the warm fuzzy feeling, nope, I love gift giving because I make it into a competitive sport and I most always win...to the point where I get mad when AJ gives me a good thoughtful gift. He can't win. Never. Is there anyone else in the world that feels like this? Or is this just my weird blend of being type-A and basically a completely ...
The Barnes & Noble membership has all of the benefits.
I hate when you go to a store and they ask if you want their discount card, only to find out you actually have to pay a membership fee to save money. Annoying, right? Well last year I decided to bite the bullet and pay the $25 for a Barnes & Noble membership. I actually just received a notice that our membership is about to expire, and you better believe I'm going to ...
The Great Dane Pub & Brewing – Madison, Wisconsin
When I think of brew pubs I instantly think of The Great Dane, it's the golden standard for brew pubs and I can't get enough of it. The first time we went to The Great Dane in Madison it was almost 5 years ago, we were going to a concert at the Majestic theatre in downtown Madison and before the show we decided to grab a bite to eat at the flagship Great Dane. We've been going ...
A very geeky college study room
My 26th birthday is next week, and I was out of town for a few days this week on the set of Fuller House. Yesterday I came home all jet lagged, and it was getting late so we decided we would grab dinner, but before we left AJ handed me a house key to my new present. I was pretty confused, but down to my insane mess of an office (that I didn't even use anymore, it became more of ...
What it’s like to see Fuller House taped live
I was on a Fuller House trip with Netflix, I'm part of the #StreamTeam all opinions and words are my own. Day one was a wonderful day of watching scenes being shot, and we even got to see some of the action that the directors and cameramen do way before the cast is even on the stage, it's crazy to see how much work goes into it all. Even the blocking looked like quite an ...
Behind the scenes on the Fuller House set
Yesterday was like a complete dream come true, I got to visit the set of Fuller House as part of the Netflix #StreamTeam, all opinions and words are my own, the obsession is real. It's not the original Full House set, but it's built just like the original and some of the original things have definitely stuck around. Unfortunately, they had some temporary sets built, so we ...
Shop and eat at The Grove – Los Angeles, California
No, I'm not talking about The Grove which happens to be the title of the most messed up episode of The Walking Dead ever. I'm talking about the great little place to do some shopping and grab a bite to eat while staying in L.A. I'm currently staying at the SLS Luxury Hotel in the center of Beverly Hills, and The Grove is something that really stuck out on the map when I was ...
Umami Burger -The Grove in Los Angeles, California
Umami, a Japanese word for "a pleasant savory taste." That's exactly what you'll get at Umami Burger, a whole lot of pleasant savory tastes. The burgers are all made with the best cuts of beef, and they're made savory, very Umami. We watch a whole lot of food shows, and I can't for the life of me remember which show that we watch that featured Umami Burger. I'm happy I ...
What it’s like to eat at SUR, the real star of Vanderpump Rules.
You always hear about scary movies and the creators all say that the biggest character in the show is the inanimate building. Well, that's kind of the case with Vanderpump Rules and SUR isn't it? Ok, so reality tv is one of my occasional guilty pleasures when I need to watch something that doesn't require a lot of thinking to watch in the background while working. I even kind ...
My First Stone Age
It's safe to say that we love board games, a lot. Hands down my favorite board game of all time is Stone Age. It's a pretty simple worker placement game that scales great with 2 or 4 players. I also almost always win, that may or may not have to do with why I love the game. It honestly only has a teeny amount to do with it, but winning never hurts. So when My First Stone Age ...
Is 6 dollar shirts worth it?
As a geek I've always been drawn to 6dollarshirts.com but I've never actually bought shirts, because I'm the person that fills their cart, looks at shipping prices and then decides against purchasing at all. I hate shipping costs, seriously. Which is ridiculously silly considering the shirts are $6 or if you buy 10 shirts they come down to only $5 per shirt. So why not pay a ...
