For the Love of Daleks
February is the month of love. What better way to spread love than to showcase some of the things I love? And what better “thing I love” to start with than something that has no emotion… DALEKS. In case you can’t tell, I love me some Daleks. What? Why? I love their tinny, screeching voices. …

A Room with a View to a-Kill For
Some people dream of living by the sea. Looking out their window onto the shore, watching the tide roll in. Others prefer the mountains, looking out their window to see peaks and forests and woodland creatures. Me? This is my view: And while it’s nice to see those beaches and those trees every once in…

Get Creative!
This. THIS. Is my favourite YouTube video of all time. I dare you to watch it to the very end.

A Peek At… Tom’s Restaurant
“What’s the deal with Tom’s Restaurant?” I’ll tell you. First of all, you may recognize the outside of Tom’s Restaurant as being the exterior shot used for the diner oft-visited by Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George in a little TV show they call Seinfeld. Secondly, this little Morningside Heights gem was immortalized in song by…

Pin Win: T-Shirt Drawer Overhaul
It is known that I have not had the best relationship with Pinterest “life hacks.” You know, those tips that look oh-so-easy on Pinterest and work for soooo many Pinners and have cute graphics and fonts and an adorable hipster chick with winged eyeliner and a topknot smiling through the photo tutorial? Those are mostly…

Lou Reed on How Not To Suck
Ladies and Gentlemen, my favourite song of all time: Are you swaying in your seat? Remember: You’re going to reap just what you sow.

On the Bright Side, There’s Always the Dark Side
If anyone has yet to see it, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil is the funniest undiscovered* TV show available on Netflix for Instant Streaming. The show combines outrageous humour (presumably this much raunch is totally allowed in Canada) with quick dialogue. If Season One of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an over-the-top campy…

The 70’s on Sunday
If I had a time machine, I might choose any period in time to travel to – but I might travel back to the time of the 70’s on Sunday. You may have misunderstood. The 70’s on Sunday was a weekly day-long radio show on the local oldies station where all the songs played that…

A Peek At… East Village NYC
When someone says “East Village” to me, the first thing that springs to mind is the musical Rent. I seldom associate my favourite haunts with being in the “East Village.” But apparently, after spending the day down there, that is just what it is! See, I had this elaborate day planned out. It would involve…

Thanksgiving 2012!
What? Thanksgiving? I know I know, that was two holidays ago. But I completely forgot to talk about it last year, so here goes. Thanksgiving this year was two days long, Thanksgiving and Christmas all in one, sandwiched between two overnight 7-9 hour bus rides. First of all, it’s not a proper holiday unless my…

A Peek At… Nice Green Bo
I am a giving person, quick to share my heart with almost anyone. There are three words that I’m quick to dispense to say that I place in someone my trust, my memories, and my secrets. I’m about to say those three words to you. Nice. Green. Bo. Source: google.com via Meghan-Sara on Pinterest Way…

On The Town, a.k.a. The Coolest Thing In My Apartment That Isn’t My Roommate
One of my favourite (because, let’s be real, there are so many) movies about New York City is a sweet little movie musical called On The Town, about three sailors on shore leave visiting New York City. If you’re snowbound right now, I strongly recommend it. It’s a sweet, funny adventure and it totally holds…

Pickle Me Pete: He Fried for Your Dins
Oh, how I do love pickles. So imagine my glee when I saw this bright beacon of brine across Bryant Park Shoppes one recent night: I could barely find words to express my joy over Instagram. I even went out of my way to hunt them down during business hours to actually try them! My…

Christmas Traditions: Fakin’ It
Christmas is kinda tough for me, y’all. More lately than ever, I find myself Charlie Brown-ing my way through the season aimlessly. The one upside of not going home to family for Christmas is knowing that I, unlike all you poor schlubs, don’t actually have to do any present shopping. Ha ha. But back to…

Employee of the Month
I’ve been busy as a bumblebee around here and yesterday I got a huge surprise. My manager approached me with a camera and a handful of money and said “Congratulations, you’re employee of the month, I have to take your picture.” My immediate response was to blush a fantastic shade of aubergine and sputter thanks: …

30DHN: A Skill I’d Like to Learn
Many people say they wish they had the ability to juggle, metaphorically. I would really just like to juggle. I would love to be able to perform on demand that feat of lightness and whimsy. I may just be a collector of parlor tricks and jokes, but it seems to have served me well in…

30DHN: What I Love About My Job
I totally do, you guys. I totally love my job. Oh, I have two jobs, and I absolutely love them both. I love being a “greeter” in an NYC store because I get to chat up perfect strangers. I get to coo at babies and give candy to toddlers in cute hats. I make so…
