Well hello there, I thought i should share this great find as we all continue to recover from a very exciting Halloween weekend and face the real world. So are you ready for a rather seductive coffee or tea break? Yes you say? Hmm…good, now all you have to do for a “more seductive break” is sit back and relax and watch the “The Carte Noire Readers” read your favorite literary love scene oh la la la. Hopefully you got your own cube and a good set of headphones at work. Are you ready? They will only begin if you’re sitting comfortably. Okay here it is, the suave Greg Wise reading a scene from Jane’s Austen’s Persuasion.
Speaking of Jane Austen, have you guys checked out this book trailer of the mashup Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters yet? It’s funny! 🙂

Hope you enjoy it, Happy Monday!
My tea for the moment: I’m trying out STASH’s premium Mango Passionfruit caffeine free herbal tea. Hmm…it has a very citric taste to it, so if you like that, then try it out.
If your daily commute involves some kind of trains, especially NYC subway trains (like me), then you know how crazy the traffic can be at times or most of the time, when we’re all packed like sardines! Space is not an option and if someone doesn’t smell good, or is having a private uncomfortable conversation next to you or if a crazy is having a fit then tough! You just have to deal with it.
Does anyone remember V: The Final Battle? Well some of you might be too young to know of it but basically it was this TV miniseries that aired in 1984. It was all about the “Visitors” (aliens) trying to take over the world. I think I watched it a few years later but all I remember is that we were hooked! It had spaceships, ooh a big mothership, aliens, reptiles, rats, rebels, lots of action, and drama! The 
No, not nap time! I said snack time! Although I must say it’s just as good as a naptime, don’t you think? After all, the perfect snack contributes to a perfect nap time. Okay seriously, don’t try this at work because snoozing is not good, particularly if you’re in a cube setting or in the theatre! Yes, we can hear you snore! And hey you, yes, YOU texting in the middle of the dark movie theatre, we can all see you, so stop it before I send the phone snatchers after you! Ahhh so where was I? yes snacks, they fill our hearts with joy and lights up our eyes. As soon as we hear that growl in our tummy, our mind goes ping! Then it’s all about the Snack time!
My first find are Thomas’ “Bagel Holes!” I know what you’re thinking looking at that little girls happy picture and no they’re not only for the kids! Big kids and their moms can eat them too okay. They’re great because they’re really like these small round bagels or holes. Although I don’t get why they are holes? Seriously if it is a hole then shouldn’t you literally see a hole? like as in a doughnut? In any case, I do agree when they say it’s “Breakfast That’s Good To Go!” or more like a snack that’s good to go. You can pack about 2-4 holes in a bag and it fuels you up good. I tried the Blueberry ones and they were so yummy. If you have tried them, did you like them? If not, let me know when you do try them.
I don’t know if you guys heard but today was all about the balloon boy! When I first saw the title I was like oooh a real life “
what? He never even got on the balloon! Whaaat!? Yeah, that’s what I said! He was actually just hiding in the attic because his father had yelled at him earlier. It was his older brother who told the dad that “Falcon” that’s the kids name might have taken a flight! And you can imagine the rest of the horror! But fortunately little Falcon is just fine. And second, this is no “UP” kind of balloon ride! I was so disappointed to see a gray flying saucer looking balloon instead. Really? What is this? Man, I was really hoping to see thousands of colorful balloons with an attached house floating around.
If you’re one of the cool people who were secretly following the pattern on my calendar and hoping for a blog post on Tuesday and Friday, I really apologize! I had four papers along with two presentations due this week and after lots of overnighters my brain became all mushy and I looked like that zombie dude from my previous post. However, after a day rest, I am back with an awesome zombie question that a friend asked me and now I will ask you!
Let’s take a sip of our tea and ponder upon this a little shall we? Hmm… what is a candy gobbler exactly? How would one define it? If you’re the kind that likes to store or hide assorted variety of candies in the secret drawer of your desk, or you like keeping a few in your purse, or in your pockets, a little some in your car perhaps. Basically you consider them lunch, dinner, energy boosters, or emergency food. You still go trick or treating even though you are well beyond eighteen, more like twenty. Or you keep telling everyone, oh they’re not for me, they’re for the kids. And finally, if you’re trying to hide that giant candy jar in the pantry as we speak then perhaps the answer is yes! You are a candy gobbler! Please admit it, you will feel special.
