I live in New York City, which means I don't have a car, so my key ring is pretty bare. On it I have my apartment keys (front door, deadbolt and door knob), my mailbox key and the key to my filing cabinet at work. I keep my keys in my pocket most of the time so I don't even have any decorative ornaments or flair. Just a ring and some keys. Here:

The last time I was back home visiting my family I asked my mom for her car keys. She handed me a five-pound handful of keys, discount cards, car alarm remotes and doo-dads, which I quickly returned to her after removing just the ignition key for myself. The janitor-like collection of keys had me wondering, "What do other people's key chains look like? What do they keep on them? And does it differ from place to place?"
So, I put out a request to have my Twitter followers tweet me pictures of their keys so we could all take a look. From the photos you'll see everyone's unique chain, their Twitter name, where they reside (if it's public) and their interesting choice of surface area to take the picture.

More excitement for The Hunger Games fans! Just last week we got a first look at the promotional posters of some of the main characters from the film. And today Vanity Fair has a beautiful photo spread and interactive profile of the young cast.
From VanityFair.com:
"While the odds may not be in favor of these actors in the arena, they certainly were in the casting room. In what was one of the most-watched casting calls for young actors since Twilight, auditions for The Hunger Games were a battle royale in their own right. Anxious to make the cut, hopefuls went all out: they covered their faces with dirt, put twigs in their hair, and wielded various weapons (including a Nerf crossbow and plastic butcher knife). It was all for the chance to play the "tributes" who fight each other to the death in contests broadcast throughout Panem (the futuristic ruins of North America) in the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins's wildly popular young-adult novels. Ultimately, director Gary Ross took a liking to a fresh-faced cast that includes stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth and a host of new breakout actors..."

Pat in Goreme, Cappadocia, Turkey
Last month Billy, five friends and I took a trip across the world to Turkey. It was all of our first time there and we had such an amazing adventure. We spent three nights in Istanbul, two days and one night in Goreme in the Cappadocia region of inland Turkey, and headed back to Istanbul for one final night and day of sightseeing and exploration.
Each of us took hundreds of photos -- the country is gorgeous! -- and we were all recording random moments on video, too. Check out the compilation video of our trip, including taking in the historic sites, exploring an ancient cave city, horseback riding through Love Valley and even a little clubbing.

Now that summer is unofficially over and everyone is either headed back to school or pretending they're going back to school so they can justify buying a whole new wardrobe (guilty!), I thought now would be the perfect time to surface some of my old yearbook photos from years past. Although I never had the awesome laser background there are still some gems in the mix.
Some are cute, some are nice and some are just plain scary, but they're all pretty fun to look at. Keep reading to see all of my class photos and click on each picture to read more about the highlights (and lowlights) of that year of school.

Tonight is the premiere of one of Summer's most popular reality show: Big Brother. In season 13 -- premiering tonight at 9pm on CBS -- eight new house guests will enter the BB house to compete for the grand prize of $500,000.

Season 13 Cast (L-R): Lawon, Dominic, Cassi, Shelly, Prosche, Adam, Keith and Kalia
Eight house guests might seem like a small group, but the twist with season 13 is that these newbies will be joined by some of Big Brother's most memorable duos, with potentials like couple Brendon and Rachel, best buds Dr. Will and Mike "Boogie" or father-daugher-duo Evel Dick and Danielle.
While we won't find out who these memorable duos will be until the show airs, we are able to take sneak peek into this season's house, where the contestants will be filmed 24 hours a day. Keep reading see the photos!
