Okay, so I lied. There are no pandas here.
Boy Watch! just didn’t have the same ring to it.
So, remember the Yankees boy? The one I liked after our Yankees game date… but then decided that he called too much?
Well, the story never really ended with him. Until last Friday night.
I declare this “relationship” o-v-e-r.
We’ve been [...]

So.
I walked out of the crowded subway car and across the street to Yankee Stadium. I texted to tell him I’d arrived. He called to tell me his location.
Since we met at a bar, I could hardly remember what he looked like. I’d looked him up on Facebook - natch - but that hadn’t been [...]

I DO NOT get the bitchy girl thing.
Being from a clan of affable Midwesterners, I just don’t see the purpose of being rude right upfront.
I mean, if you’re going to be all Judgy McJudgerson, wait until you at least have the valid ammo.
I encountered two such people last night and I’m fairly positive that I [...]

A new school year.
Freshly sharpened pencils? Check.
New book bag? Check?
School crush?
Also, check.
I was all set to elaborate on the pros/cons of my New-Situation-Crush. (I always end up with one of those.) But then this weekend happened.
And I think I’m over it.
Let’s rewind.
Tony is cute. He’s Italian (and therefore dark-skinned) and a pretty smart guy. He’s [...]

Because of the impending move to an apartment much smaller than my own in a city much larger than my own, I’ve been selling a lot of my stuff on Craigslist.
Which - if you have never attempted this before - is a verrry interesting process.
Initially, I was a timid seller. You see, I’m not the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Minneapolis’s Pride celebration was this weekend. A good time had by all.
It was about 3 am and we were walking back from dancin’ our hearts out at the Saloon when a screeching noise from the road got our attention. Car accident?
Close, but not quite.
Instead we saw an ambulance - lights off - charge ahead and [...]

5. The Bronx? (Mistakenly thinking the Bronx and Brooklyn are the same thing.) Isn’t it, like, scary there?
4. Haven’t you seen any TV shows about New York?
3. Don’t you know the apartments are small?
2. Well, that’s a horrible idea.
1. Don’t get raped.
Don’t worry! Family event coming up at the end of June! This list will [...]

(The post you’ve been waiting for.)
Years ago, I listened to the stories of a friend who picked up and moved to Manhattan for a summer during college. She wanted to prove to herself that she was independent, self-sufficient, and capable of anything. Straining our ears to soak in every word, we listened to her describe [...]
