Always a bridesmaid, never a bride

About a month ago, I stood behind one of my best childhood friends (bridesmaid bouquet and emergency tissues in hand) and watched her marry the man of her dreams.

Lionsgate's 'Descent'; literally

Tasty treats and yummy eats at the Mid-State Fair

For those of you lurking near or around San Luis Obispo this summer, be sure to make a trip to the California Mid-State Fair, the premiere joint to hang out with friends while digesting good music, good vibes and, of course, good food.

Once again, it’s time for another delectable edition of Cal Poly’s own “$40 A Day: Mid-State Fair Style” – an episode high on grease, loaded with salt, packed with sugar and smothered in nothing but good taste, topped off with only the best domestic beers on tap.

Help, I can't hear you now

I feel naked. I don’t mean that in the sense that I am standing in the middle of the University Union wearing no clothes, but I feel like something is missing.

My cell phone. My phone decided to take a vacation because, apparently, I used it too much.

OK, the truth is I left my cell phone in my husband’s truck.
