Can I Get a Witness?

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

I’m all about the personal challenges as of late. If that makes me a super-annoying woman who is clearly close to 30, then so be it.
So, we’ve already talked about my rest-of-the-year challenge: 3 concert tickets on my fridge at all times. I’ve been wildly successful so far. On the docket for the rest of [...]

How to Become a Campy Stereotype

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

I’ll be 29 in  a few (solid) months and it’s time to make the generic “Before 30″ list. I’m disgusted with myself.
However.
It is a good way to get shit done. And I respond really, really well to lists and directions.
It’s also late, I’m tired, and I really just wanted to get the idea started before [...]

Not a Man Order. A Conversation.

Friday, February 26th, 2010

So. Friend Ann and I were venting about the douchebaggery happening with the men around us as of late. They are stories of no consequence because we knew these weren’t guys with whom we’d actually want to spend a significant amount of time.
This conversation led to a bigger question:
Who do we want to spend our [...]

I hate this word, but it’s really the only one that fits.

So, the last six months have been monumental in this girl’s life. Monumental as in, CHANGE. Lots of change. Some cope by crying, some by stressing. Today, I was thinkin’…
I may have coped by letting a little of my hometown white trash rear its ugly head.
My White-Trash Confessions:

My driver’s side window has lost its powerful [...]

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 [...]

I’m not sayin’, but I’m just sayin’

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I can’t…
Whistle. Give directions. Watch FOX news without making obscene gestures at the screen. Manage my time when the internet is in play. Seem to make myself care about changing my oil.
I can…
Run and enjoy it. Make a mean playlist. Find the “art” in Gossip Girl.

I won’t…
Reduce myself to chick lit. Overeat just because my [...]

Love Sucks: The Remix

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Fortunately AND unfortunately, several of my friends are going through icky, icky break-ups right about now. The kind that just make your stomach twist. The kind that make you second-guess commitment.
Annnnnyway. Music. It’s my therapy. So, just in case there are others out there infected by this freakin’ epidemic, here’s a decent “Screw you/I am [...]

Passing Fancies

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Because I am an obnoxious oversharer, here’s a new list for yous guys:

Rachel Getting Married - Um, loved it! It exudes familial joy and angst in concert. Amazing!
The Tipping Point, by Malcom Gladwell - The skinny jean revolution finally makes sense!
“The Ice is Getting Thinner” by Death Cab - sad, but good!
“Unknown Legend” by Neil [...]

Beware of the Ides of March

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

In observance of the day that Caeser ignored, Jezebel created a list of things of which to be wary on this infamous day.
Though their list is pretty good, I think they may have missed a few things:

a dog eating your favorite pair of flip-flops JUST as you were thinking you might be able to actually [...]

This is just to say…

Rivers Cuomo (of Weezer) is my lover in the snow.
I am supposed to paint my bedroom today. Not because I want to (though I do wish to rid the room of the hideous color it is currently ensconced in) but because I HAVE to. It’s a long story, but I’m getting paid fitty dolla. So, [...]
