Felt Cute, Might Delete Later
First, the history: According to KnowYourMeme.com, the “Feeling Cute Might Delete Later” Meme has been around since January 2017. At least, in some form. That’s more than two years! If you wanna feel real old, that was the month and year that Tr*mp was inaugurated as president. So, in emotional years, this meme has existed for 80 years……

My Favorite “Woo Woo Hippy Doo” iPhone Apps
Dream Journal Ultimate I have been using Dream Journal Ultimate for over a year now. It’s honestly the most reliable part of my morning routine! Before I started journaling my dreams, I maybe remembered one or two dreams a month — now, I sometimes remember up to 3 different dreams a night! In the…

Quite The SUR-prise
Okay, the first time I heard about the reality show Vanderpump Rules, I thought it was a joke. It’s a soap opera surrounding the bed-hopping staff of a restaurant owned by a Real Housewife. I, a connoisSUR of reality TV of the lowest order, refused to lower myself to watch it. So I’m halfway…

On Being High Maintenance, Whatever The Hell That Means
I am high maintenance, and I’m mad as hell about it. I think about this a lot, but this article is just one of many that stuck in my craw. I guess I’ve been “high maintenance” for a long time. I do require a lot of maintenance just to live: part of this…

Clothes Horse
When that new Netflix Marie Kondo show came out, I couldn’t even finish it. The idea of decluttering — especially clothes — does not compute to me. Hi, my name is Meghan, I have a wardrobe problem. The problem is, my closet bar just SNAPPED under the weight of all of my clothes. I’m…

Home, Home On The Grange
Now, I have been to the Grange, before, technically. A few months ago, I took a trip up to the house but, having missed the guided tour and nearing closing time, I didn’t go in. I did take this super-sick Instagram of me & the Hamilton homestead, though!: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4mXI9BDCC/ Soooooo that’s a pretty hefty introduction, and…

Return to the Little Red Lighthouse
I’ve loved the Little Red Lighthouse for a long time. And I can PROVE it! HERE! With this blog post from 2012! Now, don’t be confused about the purple Chuck Taylors — it’s a pure coincidence that I was rocking these Chucks in May ’12 and happen to have a very similar pair at present: I…

Target Sells Sex Toys Now, Because, Of Course They Do (And I Love It!)
It started so small, as it always does, and just got out of hand from there — yeah we’re talking about Target. Target Sells Vibrators in Stores Now so, Hi, I Basically Live There https://t.co/LpyNjPeNBv pic.twitter.com/57EBBx08EB — Cosmopolitan (@Cosmopolitan) April 11, 2019 Which led me to the article, as most tweets (duh)…

The Beauty of Bushwick
My Instagram account is now a street art appreciation account. This blog is now a street art appreciation blog. With spring sloooowly inching the mercury higher, I’ve been making little efforts to get out of bed and get out more. The smallest of these efforts being strolling trips out and about in my…

Why
This blog is pretty weird. Let’s face it, dear reader: we have latched onto a fleeting trend. Blogging was hot hot hot for a little while there! I wanna say 2009, everybody had a blog. We blogged our outfits. We blogged hairstyle tutorials. We blogged our LIVES! … for like, three years. By 2014, it seems, everyone got tired of blogging? People…

So This Is A Brooklyn Spring
In the countryside, Springtime is evidenced through gradually warming temperatures. The daylight lasts longer. And the trees start to bloom. In Brooklyn, the telltale sign of spring’s arrival is not the chirps of the returning birds, but rather, the throbbing rumble of a subwoofer being blasted from somewhere down the road. ALL. DAY.…

When I See A Cupcake…
My favorite food is cake. Period. End of the most Leo sentence ever. Why wouldn’t your favorite food be cake??? Cake is obviously the best food. Here are the reasons: you’re supposed to eat cake at the END of the meal because it’s so special, you have to save the best for last. All parties revolve around…

When I’m Stressed Out, I Wet My Plants
I’m not amazing at self-care. Honestly. I’m not really good at nurturing my own growth, taking the time to be deliberate and caring, and being aware of the ways I take care of my physical being. But I’m great with plants. My plants are bountiful, green, tall, and lush for one reason and…

I Just Wanna Know
It hit me the other day when I was at work, on a Saturday. I had the studio space to myself and was working on a large-scale (messy) task, playing a podcast for my enjoyment (The Bowery Boys Epsiode #169 The Tallest Building In New York: A Short History if you must know). When…

Doggy Daycare Drama Coach
Some people are sports people, some people are theatre people. Hear me out. Some people are sports people, some people are theatre people. This is a fact. And you can’t really be a “sports person” AND a “theatre person” and this conflict is borne out in High School Musical as pure fact and everyone…

Blankets
Hello, My name is Meghan, and I have a blanket problem. For about a week, I seriously considered dropping two hundo dollars on one of those fancy “weighted blankets” on Amazon. I think that week was the pinnacle of the “weighted blanket” craze, around late 2017, when the full reality of the TR*MP…

Things You Might Not Know About Me
I feel like my blog is a pretty good representation of who I am. Like, if you read my blog, you for sure know about my obsession with true crime podcasts, and that I put Kewpie mayo on pretty much everything I eat, I love thrift shopping, and I can’t cook unless it involves…

2019 Resolution: Get Out More!
I had a whim today. Well, really, it was because I saw this Time Out New York article on my Facebook timeline: talkin’ bout the 50 places you should visit in New York City. I’ll get the waiting out of the way: I’ve been to 33/50 of them. Not bad! But honestly? After living in…

I Need Your *Advice*
image source: Wikimedia Commons Dear Reader: I need your help. I’m addicted… TO ADVICE COLUMNS! Ever since I was old enough to reach for the coveted “Lifestyles” section of the local newspaper. That’d be the Press & Sun Bulletin, FYI. The “Lifestyles” section back then had everything I needed to know: the funnies the horoscopes the advice columns Barely old…

Dance As If Nobody’s Watching — Oh God, Are They Watching?
You know how some people are afraid to dance because they claim that they “can’t dance”? Hmm…. can’t relate. Not that I’m bragging about my skills on the dance floor! Au contraire — I am openly and unapologetically an awful dancer. But I’ve always taken a special joy in dancing. I vividly remember the excitement of having…
