New bang trim…what do we think??? Feeling: EXCITED! Fall is my favourite season! I adore Halloween. New York Comic Con is just around the corner. And I count the days until my first Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! Watching: Classic Doctor Who. I keep returning to it because it has such heart and so much…

How To Meet an Internet Date
1. Be first to arrive. That way your date has to pick you out of the crowd, not the other way around. You don’t want to be the asshole trying to peer behind every individual’s sunglasses to divine if that is the stranger you are meeting. 2. Don’t pull any punches on your appearance. No…

Special Delivery
Hiya, Internet! Didja miss me? It’s been one month of radio silence from me except for the random here-and-there phone post. Shudder! I finally received my charge cord in the mail from the UPS! Here’s a funny thing about the UPS: they claim to be a delivery service, but they don’t ACTUALLY deliver packages. On…

No Charge Cord: Week Four
Dear Outside World: It’s been four weeks without a computer. What’s a girl to do with her time? Outside of working 6-7 days a week, I’ve been going on a lot of OkCupid dates (post about that pending when I have a computer again), watching classic Doctor Who (more posts about that when I have…

Speaking of Saturday…
I haven’t been blogging every day and I miss it! My computer charge cord was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but thanks to the gross incompetence of the UPS, I have to pay a convenience fee (HA!) and wait an additional week for delivery. I have no idea how anyone gets packages with UPS. Unless…

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
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!
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
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
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…

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…

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…

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
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
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”?
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…
