Science Fiction Rubber Creature
So I’m a little opinionated when it comes to Sci-Fi.My relationship with the genre is complicated. Unlike most people, I never saw Star Wars as a child, in fact, I never felt the urge. It didn’t seem to be my “thing.” My grandmother would sometimes watch Star Trek and to me, it looked confusing and…

There’s Got to Be a Morning After(care)
This is a post about my tattoo healing process. Some people may be grossed out or even offended by the descriptions. Also, my experience may be different from your experience, and each tattoo heals differently under different circumstances. This is a (hopefully) humourous look at my own circumstances. “It rubs the lotion on its skin”…

Close Encounters of the Chance Kind
Me and my Big Brother in a Chance Encounter, seven years ago! They say, when you go looking for a connection, you will never find it. Specifically when you go looking for love, it will elude you. You have to let it come to you. Readers, I have tried to make friends through blogging so…

Always Find A Reason
Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s a quote floating around out there somewhere that goes a little something like: “Unhappy people will always find a reason to be unhappy.Happy people will always find a way to be happy.” If not, well, you heard it here first. I’ll happily be the one who said it,…

Painting the Roses Red

Requiem Maria
One of my favourite things to do on my long walks up Broadway is to spy on people eating in restaurants. I adore Broadway from 72nd to 116th Streets, it’s like a whole world unto itself, and the variety of eateries therein is vast and fascinating. There are solemn, polite patrons of Sushi establishments. There…

Summer 2013 To-Do List – Punk: Chaos to Couture
First of all, apologies in advance, but there is no photography allowed in the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit at the Met. So you’ll have to be satisfied by my wordy review and thie picture of me awkwardly posing on the stepladder in my apartment using a self-timer on my phone to take pictures of…

Non, Je Ne Regrette Much…
“No Regrets” is kind of a funny motto. If hindsight is 20/20, how do you know you’re not doing things you’re going to regret all the time? I try to live with as few regrets as possible, and yet there are always things nagging at my brain that I wish I has done differently. But…

Ma Vie En Rose
Last week’s cold, rainy Friday, I went off to finally get my rose tattoo done. After years of turning it over in my head, fantasizing, and saving up money, months of appointments and consultations, and days of preparation for the pain, I finally went through with it and felt…amazing. During the appointment, the pain was…

Friday, I’m in Love (Songs)
These days, you don’t see me out and about without my headphones practically glued into my ears. I am so into discovering new music lately and realized to my horror recently that many of them are – gulp! – love songs! Sappy shit, who knew? So I’m sharing today, my current playlist of pathetically adorable…

The Key To Hitting It Off With Strangers
Crowded 1 Train, headphones in. Trying my best to squish into an impossibly tiny space while carrying armloads of groceries, keys in hand. A stranger taps me on the shoulder. “So nice to meet another Doctor Who fan!” Earphones come out. The older gentleman and I launch into an extensive conversation about the new direction…

…Love and Tenderness
I am very impatient by nature. I like to solve problems. It’s what I do! Having participated in Odyssey of the Mind (“a creative problem-solving competition”) for seven years, I always believe that there is an elegant and swift solution to any problem. And that I can find it. And solve it. What frustrates me…

Don’t Get It Twisted
This one time, I nearly had a heart attack. I was at work, doing my thing, when I suddenly became aware of an acute, piercing pain directly over my heart on my breastbone. It hurt so much I couldn’t breathe. I started to launch into self-calming mode: I started to talk softer, took deep breaths,…

This Place Is Dangerous
This is me, dressed as a “wicked temptress”, or as some people call it, “a donut” What really gets my goat cheese at the candy store is when people call it “dangerous.” Uh, only if you don’t hold the handrails! I kid, I kid. But here’s a typical conversation with a customer: ME: Hi! Today…

Summer 2013 To-Do List – Wafels & Dinges
I’ve already started making headway on my summer checklist! The easiest one to accomplish was finally getting a waffle from the Wafels & Dinges guys. Because those guys are seriously freaking everywhere. There was a time when I thought the Wafels & Dinges truck was stalking me. I would see it outside my subway stop…

Feeling: EXCITED! I have so much awesome stuff going on, and so much to look forward to!!! Well, I’ll get to that! Watching: Black Butler – an anime series that a friend turned me on to. At first, I wasn’t sure I could get into it, but I always try to give TV at least…

Summer 2013 To-Do List
Ever since the weather started getting warmer (then colder, then HOTTER, then COLDER again and then finally HOT), I’ve been keeping a list of things I want to do this summer. Some I’ve never done, some are limited time only, and some I’ve been meaning to get to for years. I can’t wait to get…

Letting Go
Letting go is terrifying in trapeze and in life. I like to plan, obsess, mull, and muse. I keep my “Rolodex of Shame” well stocked and handy at all times. I need to know what I’m doing. I plan what salad dressing I’ll use for dinner before I leave work! And between this blog and…

Only Music
My Current Play Loop by MeghanSara on Grooveshark “I Feel Pretty” – West Side Story: Yeah, take that, Miss America, I’m freaking GORGEOUS. This song makes me feel light and happy and reminds me to love myself. “Sugar” – The Orion Experience: As if I don’t hear enough candy songs during the day at work? …
