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…

Always Do Your Own Laundry
Saturday morning laundry is a ritual: roomie and I carry our own things around the block to the laundromat, hang out and talk and dish, and wash our clothes. It’s very fun, very Manhattan, and it’s nice to have clean clothes. This week, however, she’s out of town! Lonely laundry for little yours truly! Or…

Always Carry A Pen
During my walk through Central Park yesterday on a rare afternoon (ish) off, I was feeling brave and free. I had one hour to stroll to my tea-date with my roommate, and only the slightest idea where I was going in the park. I emerged onto a familiar landmark and saw, to my delight, a…

Imagine
Imagine you get out of work, and the sun is still shining. Imagine a cool breeze and hazy sunlight with the crisp chill of fall stinging your nose and cheeks. Imagine taking a walk through Central Park past smiling faces, laughing children, and really REALLY cute upright bass players. Imagine you’re listening to Pandora radio…

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…

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. …

Winning Friends and Influencing People
If you give your neighbor some candy, They’ll bring a bag of organic treats to your door. You’ll reciprocate by bringing Jell-O shots.

Nice, Like Rice
In the middle of the bassoonist upstairs practicing, and getting ready for work, this happened: Please ignore my almost-gone voice and my thumb in the frame most of the time.

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…

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…

Duck…Duck…Sauce
I see a lot of bizarre things on the subway. I mean, you know that. Exotic dancing toddlers. Pop and lock squads. Michael Jackson impersonators. People eating soup. That one almost takes the cake. Speaking of food, what’s that on the floor? Why, it appears to be a lone packet of Duck Sauce? Oh, why,…

Sweetness is Sweet
Last Monday, at work, I struck up a conversation with a customer. Like I always do. That’s pretty much my job – welcome people and make them feel comfortable and happy. Like a hostess at a restaurant, I guess? Sometimes I hand out free samples, too. Not a bad gig. So, this conversation. I was…

Because You May Find This Pinteresting…
Real talk: we probably all use Pinterest here, right? Pinterest kinda bugs me. I like having a way to store and easily find images of say, craft ideas and hairstyles and nail art. I think it’s a fantastic idea. However, you may have noticed that there are some insane people on Pinterest. Apparently, there are…

Shop Like An Adult
It might be a sign that you’re becoming an adult when you go shopping and instead of buying THIS: or THESE: you simply buy 14 PAIRS OF SOCKS. Well… maybe not TOO much of an adult: “These? Well, one does want a hint of color.”Nathan Lane as Albert Goldman, The Birdcage
