If you're wondering what to do this weekend, head on over to The Red Room in Kennewick this Saturday.

You know what's a bad idea? Playing a terrifyingly scary video game at night in the dark with the sound on full blast... after drinking a lot of Dew.

KENNEWICK -- When is too early really too early? When you have to be perky on camera for thousands of viewers and by the time your show is over, the sun STILL isn't up.

There's usually three people on my list of people that I hate. Today, make that four.

If a picture can say about a thousand words, then how many could a thousand pictures say?

I do not wish the Department of Licensing upon anyone.

My grandmother is turning 90 this week. That's right. She's old. But we're celebrating her elderliness.

One of the best parts about being engaged is taste testing.

I finally watched an episode of Doctor Who, the longest running sci-fi series, or something. The popular British show is addicting in the way that Korean dramas suck you in with plot twists around every corner. And yes, The Doctor has terrific hair. Allons-y!

So far, the best part of wedding planning is cake tasting...Testing...Whatever, it's delicious.

For those of you who enjoy bundling with Charter Communication services, I ask you to think outside of the box... that is, your cable box.

When I was a kid, we had all these fun games, such as Monopoly, Life, Trouble... Later on, we got some better games, like Connect Four, Apples to Apples and Pictionary.

For those of you who shelled out the $10 for First Night, I applaud you in helping keep this traditional entertainment alive.

If you're wondering what to do for New Year's Eve, head on out to Pasco for First Night! Yours truly will be there putting on the coolest local concert of 2008.

Merry Christmas, AtomicTown fans! By this time, you have woken up, sifted through your stockings and had a wonderful breakfast.

Driving around, you must have noticed those inflatable lawn decorations of a snowman inside a giant bubble.

There's a giant penguin sitting on the edge of my desk... Filled with cookies.

So I almost lost my dog last night. While most of you were admiring the freshly fallen snow, I was crying in my front yard, searching for my white dog among the white roads.

In Korea, chestnuts are snack food. They are sold by vendors (as seen here) on the side of the road to young kids who grow up to love their nostalgic flavor.

Female seducer Mystery from VH1's The Pick Up Artist had better stop teaching neurotic men that being obnoxious is the way to bag a date.

I have great skin. I'm not going to sugar coat it. Aside from the occasional under-eye circles in the morning, I tend to have smooth and even skin.

There are some people who are gifted with the art of cooking. They are so good at their craft, whenever you view their work via a photo they proudly took of their recent creations, you are overcome with hunger...and then jealousy.

Remember when AOL first came out and everybody was on their Instant Messenger and you'd always get messages from creeps asking if you wanted to "Cyber?"

Most women get hurt banging their elbows into another woman's face during Black Friday, trying to get their hands on whatever it is that women injure other people for.

Are you or your loved ones sick? Would they like to be? Then bring them on around the Tri-City Herald!

It's 11:11 am right now on Nov. the 11th and there's a story about a girl who's turning 11 today on our main site at exactly 11:11 p.m. First off, was this planned?? Did the mother use the last of her energy to hold-off on giving birth until it turned 11:11 p.m.? If so, that is talent. Excruciating talent.

Sundays are important to me. They are the one day I can spend with my fiancι from start-to-finish. It is a tradition for us: Never jam-pack a Sunday; just go with the flow. If I schedule too many things on Sundays (which I often do), it really isn't a day-off.

As I carried on my mundane grocery shopping for wheat bread at Costco, I noticed the expiration dates: Sell by November 5th.

The wedding planning process is a lengthy one. One that oftentimes is spread out for more than a year. In my case, it's roughly 10 months.

As I learned Mandarin Chinese through audio lessons on my iPod (hey, it was free from iTunes), I couldn't help but notice that Fall was officially here.

I had an engagement party this weekend, which was really quite a new experience. I didn't know parties like that existed - though they seem to have parties for every occasion nowadays.

A little recap...

I was planning on taking a mental health day from work to recover from my Vegas trip. Instead, I hobbled into the office with my sunglasses on, nursing a Mountain Dew. I have stayed up past 3 a.m. for almost a week.

"Yes, this is for real."

Tomorrow is a big day for me. As I sit here, eating my packed sandwich, typing away, my heart is fluttering. Tomorrow, I get to go ring shopping with Mr. Big.

Ever watch the TV show House? It's pretty intense. Hugh Laurie is one hell of an actor. He's a more cynical version of Dr. Cox from Scrubs, which I like very much. His presuming character is magical to watch and hard to stay mad at.

So many things to talk about.

I'm currently working on a story about bagels. Not just any bagels, but Some Bagels...which are delicious...x 100...

There seems to be a lot of talk about sex education on the Herald site lately. People are weighing in on whether it's indecent to teach these topics in high schools, why it's not right to have abortions and linking it to our presidential candidates.

The Herald is having a giant garage sale in our parking lot. It drew in thousands of small-bill-carrying people, prompting our marketing department to immediately start planning another.

What's with Koreans and eggs?? There's this series called iloveeggs. They're so creepy, yet cute at the same time. You can watch them here. While I do love eggs, I especially love egg yolks, making this cartoon that much more disturbing - the cartoon eggs' heads are the egg yolks, so I'm basically eating their faces.

It's Kids Day here at the Herald, and it makes me laugh. When I look around the office, all I see are people wearing red - even the editors. It really makes you feel like part of the collective "hive."

So my first high school football game in 2008 was not off to a good start. Despite arriving about 40 minutes early to the game, I got stuck in between two teenage boys who had yet to learn the appeals of showering and using deodorant. Surprisingly, one of them had a rather hot girlfriend...Well, hot in a skanky way, I suppose.

While in Seattle last weekend, my girlfriends and I settled on a date to go to Vegas. Yes, the city of sin.

The 2008 Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo is over...and good grief!
