  • The Drive-By

    The Drive-By

    Today I would like to speak about a phenomenon that annoys me to no end.  I call it, “The Drive-By.” New York is a walking city, and you all know how much I LOOOOVE walking.  I would walk until my feet fall off!  I sometimes do!  Walking allows you to appreciate your environment, puts you…

  • No Sleep Til Brooklyn Museum

    No Sleep Til Brooklyn Museum

    On the first Saturday of every month, a magical thing happens.  No, not THAT, get your head out of the gutter.  Target sponsors Free First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum!  Going back to the museum was on my Summer To-Do list, and when the stars aligned, it was magical. The exhibits are always changing, and…

  • Misanthropy is the Choice for Me!

    Misanthropy is the Choice for Me!

    Let’s recap.  It’s been almost a week to the day since I got epically dumped.  Why am I sharing all this?  Bonnie over at Life of Bon has invited everyone to “Just Write” and to link up.  Yay, my computer is down, I’m barely able to keep up with my blogging and I’m doing this…

  • Don't Get Mad, Get A Cactus

    Don't Get Mad, Get A Cactus

    So it would seem I have a type.   This is George. George is an Oreocereus celsianus, or “old man” cactus.  He’s a bit abrasive and he mostly ignores me but I absolutely dote on him.  I can hold him and twist his hair in my fingers and breathe in his spicy scent and he…

  • If I Had to Guess…

    “I like your shirt,” I told my customer.  “Where did you get it?” “Guess.” I paused. “I don’t know, it’s really pretty though.” “No, guess.” “I honestly wouldn’t even begin to know where you got that shirt from, I’m sorry. “It’s from Guess.” Classic.

  • Scenes From The Morning I Got Dumped

    Scenes From The Morning I Got Dumped

    21 blocks from where I got dumped In a Rite Aid A stranger states down at me from immense height. “Wow, that must’ve hurt.” Yeah “Right over the heart.” Yeah “You like pain?” It would appear so “But it goes away.  The pain.  After a while.” Yeah 38 blocks from where i got dumped.  A…

  • Ain’t That Some Shit

    Ain’t That Some Shit

    Ahhh, the MTA. Ain’t that some shit for your Monday morning commute.

  • Teething

    Teething

    I am, as we speak, cutting my wisdom tooth.  Again. The cashier at Trader Joe’s put it best when he said “Every six month is indescribable pain, then it goes away and you forget to deal with it.”  Basically.  In the end, though, he opted to have his pulled out to end the cycle.  I…

    Currently…in August 2013

    Feeling:  Overwhelmed!  A lot is happening – my computer died (technically, it was the charger, but the computer is still rendered useless), so I’m blogging exclusively from my iPhone until I can find a solution.  My wisdom tooth is coming in, which is more painful than I can describe, and I’m glad I was a…

  • 29

    29

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Today I turn 29! A funny thought this morning:  is it what I thought it would look like?  No, probably not.  But it’s interesting and I can’t wait for what’s next all the while I’m loving the present. Happy Birthday to me!(Wait til ya see my cake!)

  • I Am Supergirl !!!

    I Am Supergirl !!!

    There used to be a saying.  It went a little something like this:  “If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Now, I think we should change the saying:  “If a blogger wears a cute outfit, and doesn’t do an outfit post about it,…

  • Why Vacation Isn’t All That

    Why Vacation Isn’t All That

    I love traveling up to Buffalo every year.  But let’s face it:  sometimes vacation sucks.  Living out of a suitcase, travel-sized bottles of toiletries, long stretches of highway where your feet fall asleep and your butt falls asleep and finally YOU fall asleep and you drool against the window of a Greyhound bus (not that…

  • Charlie

    Charlie

    Are you guys ready to be shocked by something horrible? I found this old photo when I went back home to visit last month: Holy crap, who is that? Yup, it’s me.  Me and Charlie, partying like it’s 1999. I think that photograph actually was taken in 1999! Old Charlie is the family dog, and…

  • What Is “Doctor Who”?

    What Is “Doctor Who”?

    This was too cute and funny I just had to share. Watching Jeopardy!, eating Haagen Dazs out of the container (did you know it was spelled that way?  I sure didn’t!  MIND BLOWN), the Final Jeopardy category is: “British Television” Oh man, I sooooo got this on lock.  I mean, is there anyone out there…

  • Head-Space

    Head-Space

    I have a theory.  On interior decorating. My theory is that you decorate your personal space the way the inside of your head looks. What? Ew. Not literally.Let’s take for example, my apartment.  My flatmate is very organized and responsible.  She is a self-described fan of modern, minimalist design.  Nothing on the walls, nothing on…

  • My Baby

    So I have been working on this theory that tattoos are like babies.  They’re both really delicate at first.  And both usually warrant a lot of SPF this time of year.  Well, see what I mean: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOzXGZQxg3c] Parents?Tattooed folk?Whaddaya think???

  • Slangin’ Tough

    While I’m on vacation, I have prepared a series of vlogs (slang for “video blogs”) FYE – For Your Entertainment.  Today’s topic:  SLANG! Here are five slang words or expressions I use to season my everyday conversation.  They are delicious.  Feel free to use them.          Credit the source. First up:  PTFO PTFO = Pass The…

  • If You Only Have Five Minutes to Live

    You know those weird religious recruitment pamphlets that people slide under your apartment door?  (No, you don’t get those?  That’s weird.  Cuz yeah, THAT’S weird.)  Well, it gave me an idea: What would you do if: – you knew you only had five minutes to live? – you just found out that you only had…

  • Sharing is Caring…NOT

    I consider myself a very sharing person.  Therefore, I am a very CARING person.  But you have to draw the line somewhere: Are you an over-sharer?  Or do you refuse to share?  Is it weird that I don’t like sharing any of these things? “Share” in the comments!

  • Do You Believe in Ghosts?

    Hey, remember that time I did ghost tours?  I do ghost tours!  AS A JOB!  It’s basically super awesome.  And we talk about a lot of cool things on my tours.  But I like to ask my tour people if they believe in ghosts.  Sometimes I get really cool stories about teenage ventures to abandoned…
