Going Rogue
Every year. Every year I say “I’m not going to bleach my hair ever again!” And then whoops. I do.

Hungry Eyes
Winter in NYC bites the big one. It’s cold and the wet and filthy and our main punching bag, the tourists we love to hate, have all gone home. What is there to do? Invent a new cateye, perhaps? What do you think? Too much?

Epic Rap Battles of History
Mad rhymes for your Tuesday morning. Epic Rap Battles of History pits famous historical and cultural figures against one another. What do you think? 1. Adolf Hitler vs. Darth Vader I think Darth Vader totally won this one! What do you think? 2. Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates Bill Gates, totally! 3. Doctor Seuss vs.…

Heroes and Villains
While I’m coping with a lot of confusing emotions, I find comic book movies very soothing. Hero wins the day, black-and-white morality. Specifically, the humor of The Avengers and the idealism of Captain America. Superheros can always be trusted to try their hardest, do their best, have what’s right in their hearts. I can’t control…

Snowbound Saturday
Hiya! It’s snowy and awful here in New York City, and my mom is coming in to visit for the day! I’m leaving the house, whether I like it or not, and going to try to have fun. In the meantime, here’s a bunch of bits from the internet that I’ve been enjoying while stuck…

Roberson Museum
My hometown, Binghamton, NY, is home to the Roberson Museum and Science Center. High on my list of things to do when I visited for the holidays was checking out this little gem, as well as their annual Christmas tree exhibit, as pictured above! There was also a brilliant quilt show going on. This giraffe…

All Through the House
I am so fortunate to be able to see my family this year for the holiday. I remember last year, how angry and sad I was, so I first want to apologize to everyone who’s lonely this holiday. And now, pictures. Every year, there are MORE and MORE decorations at my parents’ house! Piles upon…

White Christmas
Today some of you are celebrating Christmas. I wish for you fond memories, peace, harmony, and a little bit of booze. And a White Christmas, from me, by way of Harlem, NYC. BONUS Greenwich Village night-time shot!

Christmas Traditions: Livin’ It!
Last night, amid sleigh bells bus exhaust fumes, I arrived home for Christmas and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. I hope all of you have equal chance to share time with people you love while all the banks and businesses are closed! Last year, I wasn’t so lucky, so I wrote about all the things…

Tiny Bed
Tiny bed, I love you. I grew up in double beds. Full-sized. Living like a Queen. I must admit, when I picked you out at the Ikea outlet, I was a bit panicked. Would I ever be satisfied with such a small bed? WOULD I EVEN FIT IN SUCH A SMALL BED? No, I can’t…

CRAVINGS
During last week’s bout of stomach flu, I completely lost my appetite. For everything. Can you blame me, though? Everything I ate just came right back up. Which hurts, actually, unless you eat very soft foods and liquids. I was really sick. How sick was I? Even the thought of drinking coffee turned my stomach. …

Atheist Christmas Carols!
Alternet has clearly read my mind this year: they’ve produced a fairly good list of Atheist-friendly Christmas songs! Songs that do not mention Jesus, God, Saints, Angels, Miracles, or Virgin Births…because while Atheists may not like those things, we do loooove music. We need it for our baby-eating rituals! Check out the list, it’s interesting…

Mug Shots!!!
It occurred to me while sick that I do not currently own nearly enough mugs. You use the most mugs while sick because most sick foods are consumed from mugs. Come to think, all the best foods are consumed in mugs: coffee & tea, soup, ice cream, I’ve even put fruit slices into mugs! There…

Let Me Take You Down
Every year, on December 8th, mourners gather at the Imagine Memorial in Strawberry Fields to sing and remember John Lennon. This year, I trudged through thick, wet snow after work to make it there. I sang “Hello, Goodbye” and “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.” I tried to take a video but it was…

Almond Joy
So I’m on a total almond kick lately, apparently. Remember this trail mix? Well, I have to say, Salted Roasted Almonds from Trader Joe’s are THA BOMB. I can’t stop eating these suckers! They will be the death of me. Well, it would surprise nobody to learn that I’m not having a great time lately. …

Charlie
Our beloved family pet of fifteen, no, twenty, no, maybe forty? years, Charlie a.k.a. Snooty Nose nee Master Charlemagne McTavish is in very poor health. So we’re all very upset because we all love Charlie. Everyone loves Charlie! You love Charlie! You just didn’t know it yet. Charlie is, without a doubt, the smartest dog. …

Happy Krampus, Or Not
Typically celebrated on December 5th, Krampus is like the anti-Christmas. See, while jolly old St Nick brings presents for good little girls and boys, dear old Krampus comes along to punish the naughty ones – dragging them to his underworldly lair by their pigtails and suspenders and making them his slaves for all eternity. And…

#fmsphotoaday prompt was “red.” Observe my red sicky face. FEELING: a little sour on Christmas, actually. My store has been playing Christmas music since before Thanksgiving,which I am not okay with. If I hear ANY version of “All I Want For Christmas is You,” I may be physically I’ll or commit some kind of violence.…

1 Year Old!
I completely forgot! November 17th was my one-year anniversary of my two left-hand tattoos (in my head I called them “the twins” because they happened in the same sitting) Happy Birthday, babies!!!

Day of the Doctor
So, did all my Whovians watch “Day I the Doctor” yet? Because I literally devoted an entire day to the viewing of the 50th Anniversary special and sundry other associated programs. First, the pilot, of course: which originally aired fifty years ago on November 23rd, 1963: “An Unearthly Child.” Followed by the docudrama “An Adventure…
