Awesome Weekend-Brag
Welcome back to the other side of the weekend! Working a non-traditional job, I have a weird concept of what a “weekend” is. Soucre: TV Guide Nevertheless, My weekend starts on Wednesday night (like Friday night for you folks) and Saturday is my “Sunday.” Well, this weekend I kicked off by giving an awesome private…

Skulls and Roses
Clutch your pearls and reach for the smelling salts, I’m doing an outfit post. Everybody liked this dress so much when I posted about it on Sunday Social/Instagram, I’m afraid it’s become a runaway hit. I try to save it for special occasions. Like my bracelet? I made it! I’ve been just slightly obsessed with…

Licorice Lover
At last week’s session, I joked with my therapist that if I traveled back in time one year to give my former self a badly-needed hug, I wouldn’t recognize me. I dress and act like a totally different person and oh yeah, I eat licorice now. Not just the lame, cheater, strawberry licorice. The good…

Done da-Done Done DONE!!!
Okay, I spent Saturday getting my tattoo finished and eating candy and napping. Not a terrible way to spend a heat wave. Here’s the first pic – snapped by my fantastic artist Becca Roach just minutes minutes after finishing the task! Like, “Sit up, have a look, let’s take a picture HEY let’s go outside!” …

Being Alone
Chillin’ at the laundromat a couple days ago…I surely do miss comfy shirts! There is a difference between being alone and feeling alone. There is a difference between loneliness and alone-ness. There is sitting in an empty apartment facing a computer screen, aimed at the television, glancing down at your phone and wondering if anyone…

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
One month ago, while trudging through what The Weather Channel described as a “severe” rainstorm to deliver a ghost tour, just hours after having the outline of my chest tattoo done, I realized that I am kind of a badass. Look at me, a year ago. I was terrified I wouldn’t be able to live…

The Book Phantom
One of the coolest things about NYC is that you can always buy secondhand books (the best kind!) for next to no money almost anywhere. Everyone knows about The Strand, which sells way below list price. But if you’re just browsing, you can pick up a fascinating read off the street for a couple of…

Missed Opportunity
Things I Should Have Said to the Random Asshole Who Called Me a “Pale Skeleton” and “Anorexic” After Swearing At Another Random Woman, Making Kissy Noises, and Insulting Her Race: “Mind your own business.” “Watch it, loudmouth.” “Who asked you?” “Learn some respect, asshole.” “Yeah, go home and have a wank over me.” “If that’s…

My First Rock Concert(s)
I’ve alluded here before to the fact that I’m nearly 29 and have never been to a rock concert. Pause to grasp that, moving on. Last week I attended not ONE, but TWO LIVE ROCK SHOWS in 48 hours’ time. WHAT! First, I went to a place called The Canal Roomto see the music video…

Tampocalypse Now
In about a month, I’ll be 29 years old. That’s practically an adult! One of the things I am most proud of as an adult is never running out of the essentials. I have managed to, since moving out “on my own,” have a never-ending supply of toilet paper, peanut butter and…tampons. Here’s an…

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
I’m taking the day off from blogging today to recover from this. Have a great weekend, everyone! LAST WORD: In two weeks, Google Reader goes Bye-Bye! I don’t want to see this beautiful thing end, and neither do you. Let’s try to make it work, baby, we can beat the odds! Follow me on Bloglovin’! …

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…
