What A Card!
Is there anything better, on these hot, balmy days of summer, than… …sitting inside in the air conditioning and playing card games? I think not. Who needs the outdoors? Besides, card games are portable! If you wanted to, you could…play them in a tent! In a cabin by a lake! Or whatever! Here are some…

Happy Father’s Day
This series of thoughts just flitted through my panicked brain, in the precise following order: “Wait, Father’s Day is THIS WEEKEND?” “That means it’s TOMORROW!” “I bought my card a MONTH ago and it’s still in my suitcase!” “I was going to NAIL this holiday and I MISSED it!” “The card will NEVER make it…

Homestyle Cures
Here’s a big surprise: I’m a massive hypochondriac. Surprise! I’m constantly running up imaginary fevers, contracting unexplainable bruises, and dying of a myriad of cancers. It’s mostly all in your head, isn’t it? Insert some witty observation about our own perception being the only possible filter so we lack objectivity when it comes to our…

Shop Like An Adult
It might be a sign that you’re becoming an adult when you go shopping and instead of buying THIS: or THESE: you simply buy 14 PAIRS OF SOCKS. Well… maybe not TOO much of an adult: “These? Well, one does want a hint of color.”Nathan Lane as Albert Goldman, The Birdcage

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
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,…

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
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…

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!…

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…
