A favorite past time: Karaoke.

The weekends tend to go by so fast. Last weekend, in fact was a whirlwind…and when I say a whirlwind, I am of course talking about the whirling magic of karaoke (duh). I have not been able to go by one weekend with out getting a small amount (at least) of karaoke in. I recently bought a karaoke video game for my PS2, which included a microphone (that sealed the deal). Since buying this wondrous Karaoke Revolution video game, I have not been able to stop. I think in the last couple weeks I have used the thing at least 3 times a week for a couple hours at a time (that is passion). I feel like I am in American Idol but, in my living room.

How to become a Private Investigator.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have become obsessed with the television series, Veronica Mars. This is a television series that aired a couple of years ago and I just came across it on Netflix. The show takes place in the fictitious town of Neptune, California. The main character is a high school girl turned private investigator, Veronica Mars (played by Kristen Bell). The show is quite exciting with a lot of twists and turns. Each episode of V-Mars consists of some short mysteries that need to be solved with in an episode and then each season has a large over all mystery that will be solved in the final episodes. V-Mars seems to be just your average teenage girl with a bad attitude except, her best friend was murdered, she is a private investigator and every ex-boyfriend she has ever had, either ends up in jail or is wanted by the FBI.

I have always had an interest in stories involving crime solving…whether it be a good crime fighting novel or an episode of NCIS. Veronica Mars has steeped my interest probably the most of all of these shows because she makes it seem so cool and makes it seem so easy to juggle being a private investigator and a student. I mean besides all of the resources she has from her dad being an ex-cop. Come on…to be using your study hall to catch bad guys, seems pretty awesome and she makes it seem like a cake walk.

So…how easy IS it to become a private investigator in the state of Minnesota.
