  • Everybody’s Talkin’ Bout How To Survive A Bus Trip

    Everybody’s Talkin’ Bout How To Survive A Bus Trip

    Okay, so maybe bus travel isn’t as dramatic as back when Joe Buck rode all the way to New York City to find his dreams.  But in the years since I’ve been traveling back and forth to and from NYC, I’ve been stuck in hours of traffic, rode through countless storms, and even been slightly…

    2012: Year in Review

    This massive undertaking was sparked by Brooke at Silver Lining.  Get ready for an intense retrospective of the past year in blogging and twelve giant Instagrams.  And remember – I love you. JANUARY I made grilled cheese, stupid faces, and peace with Brooklyn. FEBRUARY I conquered Owego, the subway system, and one of my biggest…

    Nat the Fat Rat:  for escapism Life of Bon:  for laughs The Nearsighted Owl:  for inspiration I’ve said enough.  Let these ladies do the talking.

  • 30DHN: Something I’m Proud Of

    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…

  • I Believe…

    I Believe…

    I Believe in Science.  I believe there is so much more to understand and so much more to discover.  I kinda believe one day we will unlock the key to superhuman abilities. I Believe in Playing Devil’s Advocate.  In listening to people but always pushing them to examine the motives behind their thoughts and keep…

  • I Love You, Trader Joe

    I Love You, Trader Joe

    Once a month, we go grocery shopping.  And like everything we do, we do it COMPLETELY.  Over the top. And because I am a terrible cook: Here is why I love Trader Joe!: 1.  It’s SO CHEAP!  A month’s worth of groceries here costs what a week’s worth of groceries cost at all the other…

    Awesomely [BAD] Movies

    Okay, so I’m gonna level:  I have been having what Eli has cheerfully described as “a string of bad luck.”  I lost my mind in an interview, left my keys at home by mistake this morning, and of course, there’s the haircut!  Overworked, Underslept, I could do with some escapism.  And that’s when we turn…

  • Oh Baby

    A lot of people my age (and even younger) have been having a lot of babies lately. Litters of them, if Facebook is any indication! Which is completely befuddling to me because I can’t even imagine being adult enough to care for a human being, much less a human being at its most needy, vulnerable…

  • Why I Am The Coolest Person Evar

    Why I Am The Coolest Person Evar

    It’s a big, big world, and sometimes, it’s easy to feel rather small in it.  When you consider all the people out there who are wealthier, prettier, happier…and then there’s about 14 Kardashians who are all of the above and for no discernible reason. That is why it one must – MUST! – remind themselves…

  • Connoisseur of Pants

    Connoisseur of Pants

    Many people have a fashion accessory they can’t live without, or a collection of a singular defining garment, say, cardigans. After some depressing soul searching, it has occurred to me that my fashion must-have is… Lounge pants.  I know, it’s tragic, but really, don’t we all love some comfort?  So I decided to use my…
