Facebook: Doin’ It Wrong, Part Two
Source: searchenginewatch.com via Lois on Pinterest I love Facebook, you love Facebook, we all love Facebook. But I think we can agree that it can use some improvements. And no, Zuckerberg, we are not (with all due respect) asking for another news ticker on the right-hand margin. Thanks, and no. First of all, if you…

Open Letter / Plea to Instagram Users
Hi guys. I’ve happily been one of you for over a year now. In fact, the main reason for finally obtaining an iPhone when I did was so I could join the Instagram craze. I’ve been known to say “Instagram that shit!” And other snappy phrases such as, “I’m gonna Gram this…Instantly!” My love affair…

Not Okay, Cupid. Not Okay.
Seeing as how it is Valentine’s Day, most of you are enjoying romantic dates with your cherished significant others. I, being insignificant, am single. And as such, I thought I would take this opportunity to regale you with some horror stories from the single side of life. Source: underware.nl via Magda on Pinterest I am…

I WILL Grow Up…And So Should You
Wait. Hold up. When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to grow up. No more bedtimes, no more bullies, no more bullshit. And then I grew up. And guess what. No more bedtimes, no more bullies, no more bullshit. Being an adult is vastly superior to being a kid. Granted, please take this with…

Thanks for the Consideration, MTA
Apparently, according to the MTA, the biggest problem facing New Yorkers is NOT the rising costs, the decrease in service, the unpredictability of the trains, higher cost and less service. It’s people getting hit by trains. People. Getting hit. By trains. Something that usually only happens of one’s own volition, or due to complete human…

For the Love of Chocolate
The love of chocolate is not uncommon, but I think I get extra points for taking it to an extreme level. Love of chocolate practically got me my job, after all! And my passion is alive and well and taking over my cupboards. I can’t tell you enough how much I freaking love chocolate. Can…

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. …

Learning to Love the Cyborg Within
On the subject of irrational fears, check out this fortune cookie I received the other day: The thing in us that we fear? I don’t know about you, but the thing I fear most is robots. Sorry, Rosie.

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…

You’ll Never Walk Alone…Unless You’re Into That Sort Of Thing
My hobby of taking long walks by myself has brought me to some serious realizations. Firstly, that walking helps me clear my mind. Much like the shower, or washing the dishes, I can think most clearly when taking long walks. By myself, with music ringing through my headphones, even while texting. I am utterly brilliant. …

Peace
I don’t want to talk too much about the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy. It seems everyone else is doing enough of that as it is. Talking about freedoms and beliefs, and God and Godlessness. Let’s just remember that it wasn’t IDEAS that ripped through the bodies of over 20 adults and children, rendering them destroyed.…

30DHN: Eight Things You Didn’t Know About Me
1. I constantly have to be having a text conversation with somebody. I think I’m addicted to human interaction. It’s a little embarrassing. And maybe unhealthy. Sometimes I’m okay without it while I’m walking and listening to music, but lately it’s gotten worse and worse. 2. I hate showers. I love baths. Especially early in…

30DHN: My Family
Today is a scary morning. I’m waiting to see if I’m scheduled to work on Black Friday. If I am, it means I’ll be spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND New Year’s alone. No family. The funny thing about my family is that I grew up independent. I never really saw the importance of family. I wanted…

30DHN: My Hometown
There’s the town I was born in. The town I grew up in. But my home in my heart will always be New York City. Growing up, I had a map of the subway system on my wall to remind me of my dream. Then, when I was 24, I moved to Queens (Forest Hills…

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,…

For Day Three of 30 Days Hath November, I humbly present something I never leave the house without. Indeed, it is something NO ONE should EVER leave the house without. Except for that one time I did leave the house without it, and felt really stupid about it. Clockwise, from top: Keys: my heavy-duty extra-secure…

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…

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…

Back in the New York Groove
Last night was a little scary. I realized at work that I have no “official” place to live in two weeks. Long story, won’t get into details, but basically, some plans fell through and I was afraid. Afraid that all was lost. I was thinking lately about loss. It seems to me that the more…

Making Peace With Zooey Deschanel
My relationship with Zooey Deschanel is troubled. I loved her in Failure to Launch, but can’t abide 500 Days of Summer. Not to mention she’s always copying my style: look at the similarities here. This is my headshot from 2009: And here is a photo of Ms. Deschanel, found on Pinterest: Source: google.com.mx via Jesús…
