While I was reading womenentrepreneur.com (dork alert! don’t judge ;D), I stumbled across this blog called Entrepreneur’s philoSophie’s: A weekly comic for women entrepreneurs.

Basically, it’s a blog of cute little inspirational illustrations by a young woman named Joanna Alberti. The name puns on her main character’s name Sophie. Her main business is a line of greeting cards featured around Sophie and her fun, entrepreneurial, and distinctly girly life. The illustrations that go up on the blog, however, are a good way to get a dose of the inspiration without having to buy the cards ;) One of my favorites is featured here.

Since Joanna is a young woman entrepreneur herself, I’m sure Sophie must be somewhat autobiographical. According to the philoSophie website, Sophie is… You! “Witty, confident, compassionate and fun! You love being yourself and true to your values.” I would add that Sophie is a can-do business savvy girl who is doing things Cashmere Mafia style (RIP).

Everquest 2 did a survey on their players to figure out the sexual preference of their users. No idea why but let’s just say Everquest’s surveys in the past haven’t been reliable.

This study states that the majority of women who play MMOs (massive multiplayer online games) are bisexual. Uh…what? In all my experience of playing games, I’ve rarely ever met a girl who wasn’t straight (I can only think of 1 that was Bi). While there are probably Bi’s in the gaming world, the majority of female avatars in MMOs are males pretending to be females. It’s no wonder they’re Bi.

Well the year is already a day old, and like everyone else on the planet, I’ve got some goals that I want to achieve this year. The thing is though, that I’m not really good with keeping these resolutions. LOL They usually fade into oblivion by March. I think that happens because I always have this ambitious laundry list of things that I want to accomplish and in the end, I’m just overwhelmed with how much I “need” to do, and end up either half assing it, or putting it off until never. Yeah, I said until never. Down with Procratination!

Following Lan’s suit, I’ll share my New Year’s Resolution in hopes putting it in writing will make me more inclined to stick to it.

I only have one because I’ve discovered in years past that having multiple new year’s resolutions is a recipe for not getting any of them accomplished since I lack willpower like woah =/

And actually in the spirit of that sentiment, my new year’s resolution is:

So after a week back in the good old American Heartland, I’m finally back in the Big Apple. However, after over 5 years of living in NYC, I almost miss the Midwest. I thought it was impossible, but no, it’s true. While, I still won’t ever want to live in Iowa again, I miss all the good stuff Iowa has to offer. Here is a list of Iowa’s good attributes:

Well, the year is pretty much over and it’s time to say “Hello” to 2009 and “Goodbye” to ‘08. It’s also a time to reflect on the past events of the year. It was a cool year in my opinion, I mean, we’ve elected our first ever “Black” president, Sen. Barack Obama and we all went green in an 11th hour attempt to save our planet. Also this year in La La Land (aka Hollywood), Britney didn’t overdose on her own celebrity. WOOT!

It’s  been a great year for music and fashion…aside from the gossip and train wrecks (Hi Amy!).The two always gone hand in hand, so it’s no surprise that there’s been some really awesome creativity going on and you know wouldn’t be a proper entertainment year-end rundown without mentioning Rihanna, who had her shine in both!

2009 is coming up and I’m NOT looking forward to it. I realized the other day that I will be turning 20 soon (February). I felt incredibly old and unfulfilled all of a sudden. So I figured it was about time I set some goals for myself for the New Year.

Santa appropriately didn’t bring me anything this year since I’ve been naughty and not keeping up with my fab faves on regular schedule =/ But that’s why New Year’s is right around the bend - so we can reform and start anew!

Unfortunately life has been terrifically boring as of late given that the flurry of finals devolved rapidly into a flurry of sleeping in late and pigging out on Christmas cookies. I’m sure many of you school gals can sympathize with my favorite activities of Winter Break:

1) Skiing: Actually this year I chose not to go skiing because I’ve got lots of random things to attend to and so there isn’t really time, but I usually really look forward to getting all my ski gear out and driving up to Vermont, New Hampshire, or upstate New York with my dad. There is nothing like a really crazy new black diamond trail to get the blood pumping and the oxygen filling the lungs. Or create great excuses for fun snow gear (I have a matching hello kitty scarf and hat set, no joke xD).

With the New Year coming up right around the corner, some of you may be looking for something to do, other than trying to get into some mega expensive party thrown by your favorite radio station. Or maybe you’re new to The City and you wanna know where all the cool places to hang out are, and meet some really cool people. OOOR you’re just a club/culture/museum/arts/music/insert fun thing here junkie. Well no problem!

Hope you enjoyed your Christmas. Over at my house, we didn’t really do much but the day wasn’t spent in vain. I actually got a little holiday cheer despite not doing the whole tree/gift giving thing.
