⛸️ Ice Skating at Bryant Park!! ⛸️
Well, I wanted to do this, and I did it! On a warm, Friday evening, I coerced a friend of mine into skating with me at Bryant Park. I started off desperately clinging to him, forcing him to tow me around the ice (sorry!). But by the time the rink closed for the…

LOST: my inspiration. FOUND: this stuff…
So I just told you in my boat post that I’ve been struggling with finding “inspiration.” That’s pretty harsh, but it’s true. I’ve been actively searching for, but (largely) failing to find, things that excite me. Apologies in advance for sounding like a total jerk, but I’ve been going through a big period of “blah.” I’m not, like,…

I’m On A Boat
Hi, my name is Meghan, and I am depressed. BUT, when life hands me lemons, I like to make lemonade! And when life sends me on work errands to Red Hook, I get to take a cruise. Yep, a cruise. That’s the way the IKEA express ferry describes it. But in order to get there, I…

ER is on Hulu, and I’ve Never Been Happier
Let me tell you a little story about Teenage Meghan. She was SOOOO OBSESSED with the television show ER, that she dressed up as one of the characters for Halloween in senior year. Every Friday lunch period, she would perform an elaborate one-woman recap of the previous night’s episode of ER — including musical parodies — because she was…

Sorry Not Sorry, it’s another blog about Aziz Ansari
Everybody’s weighing in on Aziz Ansari with their opinions! So I’m going to weigh in on Aziz Ansari and say that MY OPINION is that everyone should stop fucking weighing in on Aziz Ansari with their fucking opinions. Let’s clarify: IMHO, the rush to declare that Aziz Ansari is “cancelled” is the…

These Boots Are Made For…
I… think I had a sexy dream? In my dream, I was cast as an extra in a music video for a young chanteuse. My job, along with the other extras, was to lie on the ground while the singer, wearing black Doc Martens, stepped on us lightly while performing her song. And… I…

Fixing A Hole
I wrote over 400 words in this draft. Then I erased it all. Call this “Take Two.” I’m very proud of myself for writing more in this blog. There was a time, not too long ago (OCTOBER 2017) when I couldn’t even fathom stringing two words together. I was like, in a hole. A hole…

The Pits
June 26th, 2014: I grammed this gorgeous selfie of yours truly all dressed up for a date. Hair curled, cute sundress, makeup on point. I look amazing, BUT! For the itchy, scaly, oozy, red splotch of psoriasis under my armpit. You can tell I’ve tried my darnedest to filter the living F out of this photo…

And THAT’s Why I Have Trust Issues
Yeah, you could say I’m a little FRAGILE lately!!!! ICYMI, my life has been going through a lot of changes???? Okay, I’ll level with you: I HATE being out of the loop on important things. Things that matter to me. By people that matter to me. People I should be able to trust! And that’s why I’m feuding with…

I F&#@ING HATED “HANG THE DJ,” And I Need You All To Know This
First of all, the title. Why? What does it have to do with anything? Spoiler alert: NOTHING. Oh, spoilers ahead, obviously. And here’s one BIG one: this episode is called “Hang The DJ” because it’s an ominous-sounding line from a song that is played in the final seconds of this episode. If “Hang The DJ” is meant…

Chivalry Isn’t Dead!!! — You Can Get It At Trader Joe’s
If you live in New York or — heck — the EAST COAST, even, you might have gotten buried under a shit-ton of snow yesterday??? Yeah, I noticed. It snowed! I was a snow-skeptic, though, RIGHT up until the last minute. Which is why I decided it was a GREAT IDEA to go grocery…

Currently… in January 2018
FEELING: INCREDULOUS. That it is. 2018. How is this even possible? I know that time is a construct, but this construct feels imPOSSIBLE! Wow, who would have thought? I have to say, I am actually happier now than I thought I could possibly be, back in 2017? I’m ready to start 2018 with a…

NEW YEAR NEW ME HAHAHAHA
Okay, I can concede that the title of this post is… aggressively weird. I just find it a little bit too on the nose that the New Year happens to coincide almost perfectly with the giant shake-up of my life which was a HUGE breakup and MOVING to a new place. Calendar, is this a subtweet? It’s oh-so-very popular to see the…

You See I’ve Forgotten — Is It Green, or It’s Blue?
They say that some people are born leaders, which implies that some people are born followers. I, my friends, am a born follower. I joked at work, while listening to a podcast about Charles Manson, that if someone told me I was pretty and asked me to join their cult (Manson’s M.O.), I totally would. I’d be like,…
