IRL
Bloggers love to talk about “blogging honestly.” But it’s impossible to blog completely honestly, because blogging is autobiographical! You’re presenting yourself through your own eyes! How can you be 100% positive you’re being your honest, authentic self? How am I different in real life than I seem on my blog? I swear ALL THE TIME.…

OkCupid, You’re Pretty Okay
Good things about going on lots of OkCupid Dates: Discovering new places around town that you might never have found on your own: Vegetarian’s Paradise, Van Leewen ice cream, The High Line after dark, and even my beloved Mura! Learning cool new things: for instance, do you know what an “interrobang” is? Talking to people…

Practice Makes Perfect
A funny phenomenon at Comic Con (hee hee that rhymed) is that people dress up. I guess this isn’t so weird – it’s the month of Halloween, after all. But people go ALL OUT. And then, you walk around and take pictures of people’s costumes. Now, here’s the weird part. Cosplayers – people who dress…

Comic Con 2013
On Friday, I cased the joint and made myself familiar with all the booths and artists present. On Saturday, I was dressed somewhat in costume – wearing my replica of the 4th Doctor’s scarf from Doctor Who and regular street clothes. This resulted in getting hit on A LOT. I was surprised how many people…

Compartment
One morning, a few days ago, I caught myself unable to tear myself away from the view out my kitchen window. “This is my favourite view,” I said aloud. And meant it truthfully. At current moment, there is loud music pouring out the door across the hall. Clapping, live singing, a live band is playing…

But here, I’ll try: Mellowcreme Pumpkins: Are the cutest and most perfect Halloween treat! Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks: Celebrating ten years of making New Yorkers absolutely bonkers.

But First, You Pay
I recently saw something on Facebook that struck me as fascinating and out of the ordinary: it was a debate about something other than Miley Cyrus. Seriously, can we stop talking about shit that doesn’t matter and talk about shit that matters only slightly more? Like the age-old question: WHO PAYS FOR DATES? A male…

Fallen Down A Hole…
…a hole called work. Blogtember is over, and to be honest, it feel like I have no creative juices left in me. Just pulp. And nobody likes pulp. And nobody likes to admit that they are so burnt out from working constantly that they need someone to prod them with a stick to give them…

Blogtember #20: Back in Black
I have no idea when I received this bottle of black nail polish, but I know it was before I moved to NYC, so that makes it very old. I noticed it has started to take a turn for the worse, and decided it needed a proper send-off. Black is the color of sadness. The…

Blogtember #19: Gripe
I’ve written about my Facebook pet peeves here and here. But I’ve noticed a new trend has emerged that has gotten so out of hand that I’ve even gone so far as to delete the Facebook app from my phone. I don’t want to make light of other people’s problems, but taking everyday gripes to…

Cute Couple
It had been an exceedingly long day. Full day at work, followed by errands. My legs were sore and muscles buzzing with ache. It was around 10:30 at night and I had just finished my final errand of the night: a few essentials at the grocery store. My shopping bag weighed heavy on my shoulder…

Blogtember #16: Review — Living Single
All the Single Ladies, Put Your Hands Up.Let’s be honest. Having a relationship is great, but being single is tha bomb. Whether you’re a veteran at being unattached or freshly dumped, you have to agree that it’s somewhat of a relief to be footloose and fancy-free! I even made a little poem about it! S…

Blogtember #15: Be Careful What You Wish For
“Life lately” is going incredibly well. Almost too well, in fact… I asked my hair stylist at my last bang trim to do a cute, asymmetrical chop. The result? Much too short! I’ve been growing out my unfortunate bang decision ever since! I couldn’t wait for fall weather! The heat was driving me insane and…

Saul Morales, Door-to-Door Tattoo Artist
It has become The New Norm: every time I walk down the street, some passerby will call out: “Nice tattoo!” As if I didn’t already know. Crossing the street at Broadway and 96th in search of kale during an apparent UWS Kale Shortage Crisis, a gentleman with a fair amount of his own ink sidled…

Blogtember #14: The Pants Problem
I believe you’ll know if it’s true love or not if you find yourself thinking all day about getting home to that special someone. Or some-thing. And I may have found true love. I bought these sweatpants from Kmart on Friday, September 6th. And they have taken over my world. All day at work, all…

Clever
You don’t make it to Employee of the Month without making a few die-hard fans. After a little over a year at work, I have gained some fans. Regular customers who stop in, chat a bit, and whom I’ve gotten to know. There’s my High School Pep Squad, who pop in after school for a…
