Angela-approved: My Top 3 entires to the Bluejar.com How-To Writing Project

Posted on September 25, 2007 by Angela

Oh my! I almost forgot to pick my favorite entires in the Bluejar.com “How-To” Group Writing Project! See, this is what the NFL does to me. They should have some kind of disclaimer before games - “May cause complete disregard for everything else in life.”

Anyway, everyone did a great job but I can only pick three. I chose the ones that were unique. Here goes…

How to Become a Human Calendar - That is just, for lack of a better phrase, super cool. Luciano can pinpoint any day of the year with a simple math equation. It’s more work than my brain can handle, but a neat trick nonetheless.

How to Sleep on a Plane - I used to fly all the time thanks to my dad’s benefit package at US Airways and I always found it difficult to sleep on the plane. You go into some kind of unconscious state - not sleep, but not awake. Once, I fell into this state while holding a bag of complimentary pretzels and when I was startled awake, I accidentally tossed the pretzels across the cabin. Good thing the bag was closed and the flight was almost empty. It’s also a good thing it was toward the end of the flight so I didn’t have to sit there like a pretzel-flinging moron for too long.

Contains Zero Trans Fat - Truth or Creative Advertising? - JoLynn reminds everyone to check your food labels. I already knew what to look for only because my PIRG-loving sister told me. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t have vigilant sisters like mine. Thanks, JoLynn.

    Hi Angela - Thanks a bunch for selecting my sleep on the plane post! I lol’ed at your pretzel flinging story. :-)

  2. Hi Angela. I’m glad you enjoyed the article How to Become a Human Calendar.
    But I must say that you’re probably wrong when you say that it’s more work than your brain can handle… I know it looks like there a lot of steps involved, but in practice it is really easy… seriously! :)

    I liked them all but these were my three favorite. I love writing “how-tos”. Luciano, I don’t think you realize how terrible I am with math. HA HA

  7. Hi Angela,

    Thanks for voting for my article in the group writing project, I’m glad that you liked it. The project was a lot of fun, especially since I discovered so many new blogs. :)

    BTW, I absolutely love Boston, haven’t been there for awhile but I’d love to go back.
