Spoiled Opportunities

I’ve been told so many time in my life (or just implied, I love implications) that I’m spoiled. Funny thing is for the first 10 years of my life I was viewed as quite the opposite from just about all the kids I knew. At that time I was living in a very poor city [...]

I Blame Mr. Neilsen

  So the story of my life, or rather my tv life, is my favorite shows being cancelled long before they got to really finish out their storylines. My first experience with this was My So-Called Life, which by the way still stings to think about, and that was only the beginning. As a naive [...]

Style Me

Because I trust your opinion and because I rarely trust my own, help me pick my next pair of glasses. Keep in mind they are all black, a couple of the pictures the frames look more blue but they are all actually black. I won’t tell you which frames I am leaning towards. Which Glasses [...]

The Single Life

It’s strange to me that even though I’ve been in a serious relationship for more than 7 years now I still remember vividly what it was like to be single. Before Manly Man I’d never had a relationship last beyond about a year and most of the involvements I’d had (I’m not even sure if [...]

Oh and it’s also available for instant viewing on Netflix, which lately speeds up the process of me watching things. The Basics: A couple [...]

Nutrionist Best Friend For Hire

I’m still bitching about the wedding stuff from this weekend. I’m still annoyed about the “photographer” who the mother of the bride invited just for the ceremony and who got in my way. I’m still annoyed that I was given a sandwich, chips, apple, cookie and water as my dinner there. Vendors deserve better than [...]

My Fascination With The Disturbed

I have a fascination with things that are disturbing. I read true crime books, watch true crime shows, I love abandoned buildings (particularly the mental hospitals), I seak out those movies that most people can’t bare to sit through and someday I genuinely hope to visit Chernobyl. Many times my husband, who is weird in [...]

  Tomorrow is my last vacation for a little while, I’m off through next Wednesday. I have a wedding to do this weekend, this time the friend I’ve known since 7th grade. I haven’t seen her in like 10 years I think and she now lives in Germany. She is marrying a guy from Germany, [...]

The Wit of David Sedaris

One author I’ve come to love like a best buddy who you find really entertaining but doesn’t even know you are alive is David Sedaris. He is actually the brother of the actress Amy Sedaris, which I think should be reason enough to read his books. I however, like I do with most books these [...]
