People On Airplanes

Kim Karalekas — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:26:18 +0000

There’s something about airports…more specifically, airplanes, that cause so many of us to lose any ability to function with rational thought and/or logical behavior. I was recently on a flight – it was one of those small regional jets. One of those small regional jets with overhead compartments that can accommodate an item no larger [...]

Pittsburgh

Kim Karalekas — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 14:57:47 +0000

I must note, I was visiting Pittsburgh in September, as in, during a time that isn’t the bitter cold of winter (snow/cold is the bane of my existence). My thoughts on Pittsburgh might be a little different if I were there…oh I don’t know…like right now, for example. However, in September? It’s pleasant. I’d never [...]

Thoughts On New Media

Kim Karalekas — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:16:00 +0000

I was recently interviewed about my thoughts on new media…a topic of interest, one could say. Here are my musings: “How does social media influence your international education job?” As the New Media & Research Assoc. at API, social media plays an active role in my position. As many of us use social media as a [...]

No Presents On Christmas

About 438 years ago when we were kids, my mom would say: “Don’t get me any Christmas presents – I have everything I need!” I remember thinking: “Wow…I really wish I could say the same thing & actually mean it.” I thought it was so amazing that my mom was so content with what she [...]

An Incongruous Christmas

Kim Karalekas — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 12:54:24 +0000

I ended up listening to a contemporary christian radio station the other morning. Not because I listen to contemporary christian music, but I wanted to sing along to christmas tunes and contemporary christian radio stations are gold mines this time of year. “Silver Bells” came to an end and it was time for a commercial [...]

The Last Few Weeks

Kim Karalekas — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:23:02 +0000

Driving through town the other day I came across this complete random and out of place ugly sweater sidewalk sale. Aside from the general weirdness I thought was so great, I most appreciated the unnaturally massive stuffed barney advertising the sale. I really love reading. However, with so many life distractions, I’ve unfortunately put reading [...]

A Google Places Christmas Story

Kim Karalekas — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:27:21 +0000

This month’s Google Places power user event was held at Alamo Drafthouse.Thank you Google, per always, this was an awesome event. Pre-movie Alamo crowd warming activities/entertainment. I will never look at Ovaltine and/or mashed potatoes the same way again. They showed “A Christmas Story.” It was the first time I had seen the movie AND I managed to [...]
