The Accent is on the Accent
This embarrassing true story happened to me at work a few weeks ago. Let me preface by saying that I have somewhat of a hearing difficulty…perhaps when I can afford insurance I’ll see a doctor and diagnose the level to which my hearing has deteriorated thanks to sirens, horns, trains, and midnight fireworks – but…

Bugging Out
Confession: we have bugs. This is New York City! Helloooo! Everyone has bugs…or mice…or rats…or toilet snakes! Exhibit A: Bug seen on counter, near oh-so-precious coffee maker!!! Exhibit B: Bug seen in cupboard, near plates and SPLENDA! Exhibit C: BUG ON THE COUCH. My Fortress of Solitude! My Bat-cave! Needless to say, the last breach…

I'm Afraid to Be Alone
I’m a little ashamed to admit that I’m afraid to live by myself. I don’t, of course, I have Eels. And before that, I lived with my parents. For many, many years. Here’s the embarrassing part: I’m afraid to be alone at night. And I’m almost 28 years old! Take, for example, a few years…

It’s De-Lovely!
Oh Gawrsh! I’m tickled pink to be nominated for the One Lovely Blog award! Being able to snootily call myself a “blogger” is it’s own reward, but making connections with all of you guys is also pretty great. Speaking of which, the lovely Kassie Nichole from Ginger Flair nominated me, and if it wasn’t against…

What A Card!
Is there anything better, on these hot, balmy days of summer, than… …sitting inside in the air conditioning and playing card games? I think not. Who needs the outdoors? Besides, card games are portable! If you wanted to, you could…play them in a tent! In a cabin by a lake! Or whatever! Here are some…

Happy Father’s Day
This series of thoughts just flitted through my panicked brain, in the precise following order: “Wait, Father’s Day is THIS WEEKEND?” “That means it’s TOMORROW!” “I bought my card a MONTH ago and it’s still in my suitcase!” “I was going to NAIL this holiday and I MISSED it!” “The card will NEVER make it…

Homestyle Cures
Here’s a big surprise: I’m a massive hypochondriac. Surprise! I’m constantly running up imaginary fevers, contracting unexplainable bruises, and dying of a myriad of cancers. It’s mostly all in your head, isn’t it? Insert some witty observation about our own perception being the only possible filter so we lack objectivity when it comes to our…

Shop Like An Adult
It might be a sign that you’re becoming an adult when you go shopping and instead of buying THIS: or THESE: you simply buy 14 PAIRS OF SOCKS. Well… maybe not TOO much of an adult: “These? Well, one does want a hint of color.”Nathan Lane as Albert Goldman, The Birdcage

May I Have A Word, Please?
WORD GAMES WORD GAMES WORD GAMES! For anyone who delighted in studying for the SAT Verbal section, is there anything better than word games? Apples to Apples Source: Uploaded by user via Chelsea on Pinterest If you haven’t played this game yet, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?! Seriously? Under a rock or something? Apples to Apples…

Little Touches of Home
During my whirlwind trip to Upstate NY for a dentist appointment/birthday party this weekend, I noticed how much I missed and adored the tiny details of my childhood home that remain constant. Looking like a weirdo, photographing all these close-up photos…which may do nothing for you, but for me, they are the sentimental trappings of…

Falling In Love Again
This is a photo of me from January 2011. The last time I enjoyed acting. Or so I thought. I’ve said before that it’s hard to get excited about acting anymore. There just isn’t a lot of interesting work being done, at least as far as I have seen. All the good plays, I thought,…

Not Dead
Trust, I have been WAY busy this week. Follow my FourSquare account if you don’t believe me! I am entertaining an out-of-town visitor! I started a new job! But don’t worry… I’ve been taking pictures…

Fifty Shades of Green
Since apparently the surest course to fame is erotic fan fiction, I have decided to tackle the subject myself. And you, my loyal blog followers, get to have the first preview. Enjoy. Fifty Shades of Green Chapter Three – Argh! My eyes widened in fear, my breath caught in my breast. “I…I could never…” I…

Okay, so I’m gonna level: I have been having what Eli has cheerfully described as “a string of bad luck.” I lost my mind in an interview, left my keys at home by mistake this morning, and of course, there’s the haircut! Overworked, Underslept, I could do with some escapism. And that’s when we turn…

True Life: Bad Haircut
There are worse things in life. Far, far worse. But maybe the stress of juggling jobs, eating too many meatless corn dogs and too much Speculoos, and PMS made me go a little crazy today… While getting a trim, I tried to communicate what I wanted to the stylist and I guess I did a…

Little Red Lighthouse
You guys, I hate to whine, but life is a mess for me right now. Everything is up in the air, nothing is for certain, and it’s all new and scary. I’ve been working so much there’s scarcely been a moment to myself. Whine, whine, whine. So yesterday, instead of waiting on the clothes in…

New York is Like a Box of Chocolates
New York City is like a patchwork quilt: there’s a little bit of everything mixed in EVERYWHERE. Little, ancient castles squished between modern, glass office buildings. Humble drugstores crouching in the shadow of centuries-old churches. Bicycle rickshaws darting between slick black town cars. Pedestrians in 5-inch heels pushing strollers through the crosswalks. Women in pearls…
