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…

…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…

Little Letters
Dear Spanish Karaoke: I appreciate what you’re trying to do there. But please, keep it between the hours of 10:00am and 11:00pm. This 2:00am and 7:30am nonsense is really inconsiderate. Sincerely, Ay Dios Mio. Dear Weather: I was hoping for a little autumn before we jumped right to winter. Coldly, Layering Up Dear Manhattan, I…

Panty Watch 2012
I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet. If you follow me on Instagram @meghansara, you know that my new neighborhood has some, er, quirks. But none are perhaps as interesting as the panties across the airshaft. I’m not a creep! I’m not sitting by my window with binoculars to spy on the neighbors. …

Bad Reputation
I am getting somewhat of a reputation at work. For better or for worse, the month of August has been one of me coming even further out of my shell. Having “lost” so much this month (and still not having anywhere to live next month, eek!), I have more of a devil-may-care attitude towards everything…

Vacation Recap: Grandma & Me
I was supposed to be born on my Grandma’s birthday. But I took a little bit longer than most to leave “home.” Story of my life. Grandma and I both tell the same stories over and over again. We both try to cheat at cards – only she gets away with it more than I…

Vacation Recap: Duds the Stud
In the middle of my life falling apart, I went up to Buffalo to visit my family, as I do every year. I expected to be miserable – wallowing in sadness and loneliness the whole time. And then I met someone. My aunt was pet-sitting for the neighbor’s dog and guess what. He is a…

Vacation Recap: Shuffle Off to Buffalo
Whenever I ride up to Buffalo, I feel as though perhaps I know every mile of the journey by heart. The landmarks always come in their familiar, predictable order. Hills and farms and forests all burned into my memory. The journey seems to take forever, but it’s really only 3 and a half hours –…

Vacation Recap: Bus-y Work
Riding the bus is hella boring. Even with all the modern amenities of electric outlets, wifi, and questionable bathrooms! Passing the time is difficult. Especially when you, ahem, get stuck in traffic and your bus ride doubles in length! I like to pass the time taking pictures. Mostly self-portraits and landscapes. Leaving my city. Feelin’…

Don’t Mind Me…
I’m just getting a massive sunburn by my aunt’s pool on Grand Island. Coffee and paper by the pool!

Holiday
I’m going to be out of town for the next week. I hope you don’t miss my brilliance too much. Leaving NYC is bittersweet every time. Whenever I come out of the Lincoln Tunnel and see it across the Hudson, I always feel like I’ve made a huge mistake – NO! TURN AROUND! Take me…

Gonna Make You Sweat
Question: I would like someone who is a capable adult to tell me whether or not it’s okay to use deodorant everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE. My walk from the train to work goes across Central Park + 4 additional blocks. During that journey, I will invariably become completely drenched in sweat AND THEN, I have to…

Your iPhone, Your Boobs, and You
Ladies, level with me. When you talk on your iPhone (does anyone still talk on their iPhone?), how do you NOT get it covered in yucky face guck? I’m talking moisturizer, sunscreen, foundation, powder – every time I pull it away from my face to hang up, there’s that ewww moment where I realize that…

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…

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…

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!…
