This weekend was hella busy! It was the 16th annual Nigerian Reunion, and it was held here in Baltimore, Maryland at the Hunt Valley Inn (formerly Hunt Valley Marriott, as of two weeks ago). Friday: I didn't do much on Friday, except visit the nail salon and cook a pot of fish stew. I did things in between, of course, but I cannot remember what exactly they were. Saturday: I woke up early so I could be at the Nigerian Reunion townhall meeting (I was a part of the panel), and which was Read More
My Weekend Recount: More Soul Food!
This Friday, my sole mission was to finally watch John Cater. I rented it from RedBox and settled in to watch it. Boooorrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggg. I kept waiting for it to get interesting.

Thankfully, no homes were lost yesterday, but two days ago (Wednesday), victims and evacuees were being interviewed about the fire and their homes, and one woman stood out to me. She was sobbing like most of the Read More
How The Berry Lost Its Crack
I have been a proud member of TeamBlackberry (used to be known as Crackberry before Twitter became all popular and stuff) for the past five years. I remember how I felt before I got my first Blackberry; I was ecstatic! My biggest excitement was that I would be able to get and respond to my e-mails on my phone.
