Weekend Update!
How could I possibly resist a link-up named after a segment on SNL? I couldn’t. So I’m linking up with Sami’s Shenanigans to let you know a little about my whirlwind weekend! This weekend, my flatmate (which sounds better than roommate, I’ve decided, because A. It’s British and B. it won’t confuse people into thinking…

Sometimes Silver Linings…
…are made of tin foil. Like, for instance, when you’re on an awkward date at Chipotle, and it’s really really cold, and your hands are freezing. You buy yourself some tacos, force some awkward conversation, and end up finding a pair of leather gloves! And also, a flying crane made out of burrito wrappers.

30DHN: Style Inspiration for the Season
This fall/winter, as indeed every fall/winter, I start to get a little discontent. The cold makes me angry. Layers upon layers of warm clothing needed to survive out in the windy streets feels like body armor. Hunching your shoulders around your ears against the cold feels like the shrug of a malcontent. And my fall/winter…

30DHN: Something I’m Proud Of
Today I would like to share that I am proud of my bills. Yes, my bills. I am proud of my electric bill. It comes in my name, with my address on it. And I pay it. I am responsible, mostly and in part, for keeping the energy flowing in my apartment that I so…

The Write Stuff
A lot of blogs I know have been linking up with Joelle at Something Charming for this cool handwriting post. I love it because I think handwriting is very intimate. Someone’s handwriting can tell volumes about them, you know? My dad is vivacious and lives life to the fullest. He writes in all capital letters:…

30DHN: A Book I’m Reading
Source: sparehed.com via Wim on Pinterest I’m not reading anything. BECAUSE I can’t get my hands on what I want to read. Clumsy by Jeffrey Brown. I’ve loved Funny Misshapen Body, and Little Things, but I hear Clumsy is really where it’s at. Let me know if you read it, and thought so.

Lady in Red
When you have the choice to take the subway or walk 2.5 miles on a clear night, always take the walking option. Friday night, New York City was one big – RED – light district. From Madison Square Park… …to the Empire State building…

30DHN: A Friend I Adore
My newest and closest friend deserves a tribute today. She has been having ups and downs and deserves to be told how wonderful she is. Which I try to do every day. Which is easy because I live with her. My new roommate is beautiful. Multi-talented, generous, and full of life. She doesn’t judge me,…

30DHN: A Favourite Movie
For Day 2 of 30 Days Hath November, we are supposed to write about a favourite movie. Everyone knows my two favourites. Hedwig and the Angry Inch, because it’s tattooed on my arm. And Gone With the Wind, because duh, I’m totally Scarlett O’Hara. But whenever I am sick, or sad, or ailing in any…

Halloween Hangover
My Halloween tradition is to work, go home, and eat Oreos while watching movies. With all the hurricane madness, I was scared that my dreams of being invited to an awesome party and dressing up for Halloween would be dashed. Just when all seemed lost (Halloween morning), my neighbor from the laundromat invited me (and…

Texts From the Hurricane
Somehow, in the course of the five hours I spent at work, nearly everyone sent me a text to warn me about the impending hurricane. Some people may have been overreacting: Some people were definitely overreacting: I’m looking at you, state of Connecticut. Still others may be underreacting: I’ll let you know how the roof…

ZzzQuil, A Review
Have you guys tried this ZzzQuil stuff yet? I’ve been so excited ever since I’ve heard of its existence. Why, just 15mL of this stuff will knock you out, and for six hours, you’re Jessica Simpson, renting a bedroom with three walls and pink furniture that doesn’t match in style, with an open wall facing…

…And All I Got Were These SICK Photos
So I went to Comic Con! It was a total fluke – my roommate wasn’t feeling well, my date cancelled on me, and she insisted I take her 3-day pass for the day until she felt better. I don’t know how I will ever repay her – it was a total blast! I’m definitely going…

Past Life Regression: Musical Theatre Edition
Okay, I have to come clean. Yes, there is a new man in my life. Well, not so new. But he touches me like nobody else can, and has since I was 13 years old. This guy: Source: google.com via Rachael on Pinterest It’s Andrew Lloyd Webber, duh. Nothing like a sparkling ALW ballad to…

Cuz I’m A Winner
True story. Whilst walking with my new roomie from BB&B (Bed, Bath, & Beyond) to DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) on the UWS (Upper West Side), we came across a mobile makeover station. New roomie wanted to get a mini makeover, so we chowed on lollipops (the candy, I can’t escape it!) and chatted with other…

Home is Where Harlem Is
Yes it’s true! I got the apartment and I’m moving in this weekend!!! This tiny bedroom is all mine. I hung my curtains and it became a sanctuary. BRAND NEW KITCHEN! Big empty living room, what’s to do? Throw a picnic to congratulate myself on being a grownup. NYC, I’m here to stay.
