GOOD NEWS! Showgirls Come In Threes
—
by
HEY EVERYBODY. I have been curating this stuff since Saturday for ya. SATURDAY! And I’m not really sticking to the “Good News” motto of this piece. More like… “Here are things I found on the internet that I want to bookmark and/or make YOU aware of.” Which is like… I mean, YOU have the…

? Don’t Be Alarmed… ?
—
by
It is a scientific FACT (probably) — that at any given hour of any given day, in any given neighborhood of New York City, there will be an alarm going off. And any given New Yorker will promptly respond to any given alarm with… annoyance. NOT “alarm.” Sirens, car alarms, smoke detectors? I…

Hilarious
—
by
The word I use most often to describe things: HILARIOUS. And to make things worse, I’ve picked up the habit of extending the word with a big, warm, open “A” in the middle: That thing that happened at work was hilAAAAAArious. The new exhibit you have to see at the MoMA is hilAAAAAAArious. You…

GOOD NEWS! It’s Ordinary Time

I’m so happy that I’m doing this again! This guitar pick is a story.I was back at Trader Joe’s, the same place where I was gifted delicious cookies! It’s also where I shop for groceries every week, so, don’t act too surprised that I was there. I was in line down the toiletries/trail mix aisle, and…

Currently… in February 2018

FEELING: Well. Today — February 1st — I had a MASSIVE therapy session where I got a lot of HUGE things off my chest, and I feel, like, relieved. January was a huge roller coaster, and I was mostly going it completely alone. I feel like I’ve finally accepted that 1) I am not perfect, and…

Tell Me Something Good
Ugh, Mercury Retrograde, AMIRITE??? I started going all New-Agey on you a couple of months ago, but to be honest, I’ve alllllways had a soft spot for horoscopes. Even fortune cookies. Oh, god, my mom is nodding her head reading this! I saved SO MANY cookie fortunes over the years! But only the ones…

GOOD NEWS! Good News is BACK!
—
by
Last week, I rounded up (proper past-tense?) a buncha stuff that was inspiring to me, getting me through the loneliness and the winter doldrums. And then I was like, “Why not continue to do that?” You know, I was doing that every Friday since 2016, right? Too lazy to research my archives. So I’m throwing…

The Safety Blanket
Did you have a “safety blanket” when you were a kid? How about now? I have a theory about those little things we always return to when things get tough. The favorite book we’ve read over and over, even when our TBR pile is towering. The movie we always watch again and again,…

⛸️ 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

by
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…

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
—
by
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…

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
—
by
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…
