Two Things Making Me Happy

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

1. Today, my work friendys and I are flyering the neighborhood in which our school resides. I’m super excited to go into the buildings of our students all voyeuristic-like. Oh, yeah. And to spread the good word about our school. That too.
The stories (and sounds) that come out of the projects are pretty staggering - [...]

Race Relations: Solved

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

What with all the hubbub about the Gates arrest, I thought I would shine a little light on race relations for you through a parable…
My summer job was babysitting my 5th-grade and 7th-grade cousins. Paul and Jenna respectively.
The 5th grader is obsessed with playing knee hockey. Therefore, I was forced to be “good cousin” and [...]

NYC Prep Is Scaring the Shit Out of Me

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

So, I might be a little late in the game due to the absence of consistent cable - which is starting to feel a bit like I’ve lost the use of running water - but let’s talk about NYC Prep. I just downloaded and watched the first four eps on iTunes.
(Yes, I paid for that [...]

Independence Day

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

As in the movie. Starring Will Smith. Yes?
I watched a rerun on TNT this weekend and - now that I am wiser woman, as well as a spurned woman - caught something that just never stood out to me before.
The dolphin wedding ring Will Smith gives his stripper girlfriend.
Friends! I searched and searched the internets [...]

Yet Another Post Brought to you by Sex and the City

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Let’s talk Secret Single Behavior.
When I was secure in my long-term relationship (I’m crying entrapment), I TOTALLY didn’t get this episode. I was all, “Well, yeah! I do little weird things every now and then. But, I’m totally secure and comfortable enough to not have to HIDE those things from my boyfriend!”
What a smug little [...]

How Netflix Affected my Ego

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

You and I have already discussed my adoration of the brilliance + convenience that is Netflix.
The site has changed the way it categorizes your movie preferences. It used to be like:
“Ohhhkay, Sarah. It appears you liked 27 Dresses. You must like ROMANTIC COMEDIES! Hahahaha.”
(In my head, the Netflix Czar has a booming voice and makes [...]

I Heart a Good Meal

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Hello.
Soooo, I was in DC over the long weekend, and I JUST HAVE to tell you about this great place we ate at in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
But, first.
Remember this guy?

If you were/are a Top Chef fan, then you are well-acquainted with Spike.
Hi, Spike.
Spike is the creator/owner of Good Stuff Eatery, a burger joint with [...]

Case Study: Chicken or the Egg?

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

In this post, I will attempt to answer an age-old question:
Must one be a hottie to make it in this world?
Thank God someone is tackling this complex and relevant issue.
Right.
So, it’s African American Month and, at my school, pictures of successful individuals are plastered-and-glowing along the walls of the school.
Last Friday, as I scurried past [...]

Michael Phelps Burst My Olympians-as-Symbols-of-Purity Bubble

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

So, we’ve all read the news about our country’s precious waterbaby, Michael Phelps, being busted smoking the gange. If you couldn’t quite get a visual, allow me:
My first reaction? Good for him! I’m sure he needs a little relaxation in his life.
If I remember ANYTHING from my days of following Michelle Kwan and hoping to [...]

I’ve Had Homework

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

AKA
correcting papers, organizing spelling bee, and trying out my new set of Yoga Booty Ballet dvds (which, by the way, you aren’t allowed to laugh at me for)
Anyway.
There are no signs of this “reality” letting up, so allow me to offer a sensational montage of The 10 Most Ignorant Things said on Bad Girls Club [...]
