    May I Have A Word, Please?

    WORD GAMES WORD GAMES WORD GAMES! For anyone who delighted in studying for the SAT Verbal section, is there anything better than word games?

    Oh, My…Seeing Stars

  • Little Touches of Home

    Little Touches of Home

    During my whirlwind trip to Upstate NY for a dentist appointment/birthday party this weekend, I noticed how much I missed and adored the tiny details of my childhood home that remain constant.  Looking like a weirdo, photographing all these close-up photos…which may do nothing for you, but for me, they are the sentimental trappings of…

  • Falling In Love Again

    Falling In Love Again

    This is a photo of me from January 2011. The last time I enjoyed acting. Or so I thought. I’ve said before that it’s hard to get excited about acting anymore.  There just isn’t a lot of interesting work being done, at least as far as I have seen.  All the good plays, I thought,…

  • Not Dead

    Not Dead

    Trust, I have been WAY busy this week. Follow my FourSquare account if you don’t believe me! I am entertaining an out-of-town visitor! I started a new job! But don’t worry… I’ve been taking pictures…

  • Fifty Shades of Green

    Since apparently the surest course to fame is erotic fan fiction, I have decided to tackle the subject myself.  And you, my loyal blog followers, get to have the first preview.  Enjoy. Fifty Shades of Green Chapter Three – Argh! My eyes widened in fear, my breath caught in my breast. “I…I could never…”  I…

    Awesomely [BAD] Movies

    Okay, so I’m gonna level:  I have been having what Eli has cheerfully described as “a string of bad luck.”  I lost my mind in an interview, left my keys at home by mistake this morning, and of course, there’s the haircut!  Overworked, Underslept, I could do with some escapism.  And that’s when we turn…

  • True Life: Bad Haircut

    True Life: Bad Haircut

    There are worse things in life. Far, far worse. But maybe the stress of juggling jobs, eating too many meatless corn dogs and too much Speculoos, and PMS made me go a little crazy today… While getting a trim, I tried to communicate what I wanted to the stylist and I guess I did a…

  • Little Red Lighthouse

    Little Red Lighthouse

    You guys, I hate to whine, but life is a mess for me right now.  Everything is up in the air, nothing is for certain, and it’s all new and scary.  I’ve been working so much there’s scarcely been a moment to myself.  Whine, whine, whine. So yesterday, instead of waiting on the clothes in…

  • New York is Like a Box of Chocolates

    New York is Like a Box of Chocolates

    New York City is like a patchwork quilt: there’s a little bit of everything mixed in EVERYWHERE. Little, ancient castles squished between modern, glass office buildings. Humble drugstores crouching in the shadow of centuries-old churches. Bicycle rickshaws darting between slick black town cars. Pedestrians in 5-inch heels pushing strollers through the crosswalks. Women in pearls…

  • Addicted to Pugs

    Man, today was ROUGH!  I woke up with a headache, fever, the WORKS!  I’m not entirely up to speed, but one thing that always makes me feel better and indeed, is helping turn about a swift recovery, is PUGS. Source: Uploaded by user via Meghan-Sara on Pinterest I consider the roly-poly, smoosh-faced PUG to be…

    Bronx Zoo – The Zoo of Your Dreams

    New York City is the city of dreamers…why should the zoo be any different? Like this bear, who dreams of being taller! And the peacock, who dreams of being revered.  Look at this pose! The mouse who dreams of a nose job…poor mousey. The snake, who dreams of being a dancer… Look at those shapes!…

  • Joie de Vivre!

    This month’s mantra is: Joie de Vivre (French) noun enthusiasm, zest, gusto, ebullience, joy, relish, enjoyment, gaiety, joyfulness, depression, apathy, distasteFrom TheFreeDictionary.com It’s free.  It’s FREE!  Whether times are tough, or not, if you can enjoy yourself, you’ll get by.I’m trying to remember that, and to always look on the bright side, and then make…

  • Weekend in New Jersey

    Weekend in New Jersey

    I kind of feel the same way about New Jersey as I feel about 50 Shades of Grey:  offended, yet intrigued, and perhaps slightly aroused. No, seriously,New Jersey is really quite beautiful. It has a humble charm and oh hey affordable housing! Behold, the nightmare-inducing moving statue display! Quoth the train conductor: “Keep yo’ feets…

  • Mornings

    Mornings

    Mornings!  There are two types of mornings in this house.  There are the mornings when I wake up early and have nothing on the docket for the day: Like the other day, when I woke up, watched RuPaul’s Drag Race, ate a burrito, then went back to bed for a little nap.  Amazing. Then there…

  • What I Believe

    I believe in recycling…always. I believe everyone has the right to the very best help we can provide. I believe in taking pictures because they last longer. I believe life is worth living for. I believe laughter helps. I believe we all have the ability to change the world for the better, if we choose…

  • Hell’s Damn It Kitchen

    Hell’s Damn It Kitchen

    At the end of this week, I will (hopefully) be giving ghost tours in Hell’s Kitchen!  Which meant that today, on the hottest day of the ever EVERS, I practiced walking the route IN THE HOT.  And came across this: Fitting, no?  Although I’m pretty sure the creature terrorizing the neighborhood is ME. Me, with…

  • You Can’t Go Home Again

    You Can’t Go Home Again

    It’s been more than a year since I was last in Forest Hills! More than a year since I last lived in the house above, and boy has it changed. New stoop, new roof, no bushes out front. From the outside, it was unrecognizable. Which made me really sad. The whole town was different. New…
