You Can, In Fact, Get Hit On While Wearing Crocs

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

So I’ll be wearing them more often. SORRY, EVERYONE WITH TASTE. You can’t see the Crocs in this picture and that’s a damn shame. But we clean up nice, right? Even if my sequin quotient is entirely insufficient. This weekend was all epic, all the time. From buying bunny tails to muppet photo bombing to [...]

How To Ingratiate Yourself to the World At Large

Monday, November 8th, 2010

If someone gave Sasquatch a sledgehammer and a cappuccino and set him loose in a newly constructed Ikea, he would have more delicacy than I do. On Friday night, I was at a bar with some friends, including one who cleverly maneuvered the entire group to the spot where his new crush was hanging out. [...]

Lessons Learned From Children. And Chickens.

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Guess what new and exciting fact I recently added to my life repertoire of new and exciting facts, ones that help you in your quest to be a responsible adult who can be trusted with other living creatures? I learned that even if a sick child does not want her formula, no, not one bit [...]

Exercise Entitled “Can I Write a Blog Post On My Phone Before the Train Gets To My Stop?”

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Today, I left my house. Which proved itself a very good thing when I was handed salad and poached chicken, met a very sweet dog, was given a glimpse into my new dream apartment, got complimented on my shoes, and received several emails of the “we would like to consider paying you for your awesomeness” [...]

Today Will Henceforth Be Known As “That Time I Danced With Brittany From Glee”

Monday, June 21st, 2010

My deep and abiding love for Glee is no secret. This love has grown exponentially as beloved characters develop and even Sue digs deep in her brittle rib cage for a feebly-beating heart. Also: I got to dance with Brittany. For those of you don’t watch (and if you don’t, WHY NOT?), Brittany is the blonde [...]

Now I Will Go Eat All The Bagels In All the Land

Friday, April 30th, 2010

My ass has been well and thoroughly booted. I’ve taken this bikram yoga class four days in a row now, and after each one I stagger out of the room, scarlet of face and dripping of body, and proceed to stare blankly at the row of lockers, wondering where I am and what exactly just [...]

OOTLS 3: The Big Fat Squawking Chicken Edition

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

OOTLS 3 is here! Just in time to find you stuffing an oversize ham in the oven and hoping Great Aunt Violet doesn’t decide to perform a soliloquy from Othello next to the Christmas tree again. Yes, I’m thinking it too: the first few weeks of December might not be the time to dive into [...]

If God Really Is a Big Chicken, Colonel Sanders is Screwed

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

You know your dietary standards are slipping when you walk into the kitchen at work, see a large chocolate sheet cake, and think, “Ooh! Breakfast!” One unexpected downside to letting myself eat whatever I darn well please for a few months is I start thinking traitorous thoughts like: “Maybe a lean cut of chicken and [...]

Brain Wants Mac and Cheese

Monday, June 16th, 2008

When I was four, I had the great honor of being a flower girl. According to my mother, I was so excited that I gave myself a fever. Yes, I actually made myself physically ill from the glee of wearing a flouncy dress. She thought I’d be kicking up my little patent leather heels at [...]

The Crash, It Was Resounding

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Tonight’s dinner almost convinced me to abandon my worship at the altar of seared flesh in order to spend the rest of my days gnawing on lettuce leaves and small carrots. Cutting the tips off naked, goosebumpy chicken wings is gross. There’s no other word for it. Stomach danced the revulsion jig, I braced the [...]
