1. I have lost my muse. If you see it, email me and I’ll give you my address so you can send it back. 2. Question of the day: If you were new to a job and a colleague (executive) you don’...
You really get me Mostly, I’m posting today just to tell you to go read Boniverotica right away. (It’s not actually erotica. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) I can’...
June 2011 I admit to myself that I am powerless over pyramids of overpriced, pretentious produce, and also that I am a cook only in my head, not in real life, which is where all of the food I buy rot...
1. Self-promotion: DC people…I will once again be gracing–or perhaps awkwarding–a stage this weekend, trying to be funny, except this time the other people on stage will be actual p...
1. Start your sentence with “Look.” Make sure I can really hear the period at the end. It makes the muscles in my neck clench, so I can hold my head up and make meaningful eye contact wit...
The 411 from the 4/11 one. Where you come from shapes where you end up, one way or another. Better living through chemistry is not only possible, but transformational. Living the unexamined life soun...
Wild Geese * Mary Oliver You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love wha...
My friends always work their way around to asking me if I’m dating–and no, I’m not. I feel like I should be but the effort it would take to do so is laughably beyond my current capa...
I wrote this then. Good to see that I have experienced a lot of personal growth in the intervening seven years. Apparently my whole life is groundhog day. You can look forward to increasingly morose/...
Celebrities to whom I am theoretically attracted (in no particular order except for Marky Mark being number one) 1. Mark Wahlberg (Even sunlight loves him) 2. Colin Farrell (Have I ever told you tha...
My sister wants to hike Macchu Picchu, or possibly go to Cambodia. She is training for some kind of running event– for fun. She never stops moving (and I celebrate that about her when I can qu...
A long overdue response to a tag by the lovely Trapped in North Jersey. I would like her to come decorate my home please. 1. I will be performing, live and nervous and on stage, at a student ...
So, you didn’t graduate from college. (Why is that, anyway? Were you dumb? Poor? Lazy? Mentally ill? Inconsistent with birth control? A Phish fan who couldn’t resist the lure of the tour?...
Sooo. I work a lot. I have a lot of papers to write for school. I usually fall into bed by 10:30, and I frequently have 8 a.m. meetings. I do nothing else. Mostly, I don’t know what people are ...
My first day at work was good, but incredibly overwhelming and stressful. I was there until nearly seven, and went to bed at ten. …And woke up a little after two, to the sound of running feet a...
I used to love to watch him drive. Something about handing over the keys to my Jeep and settling in to the passenger seat, the chance to study his profile unabashedly, made me deeply, profoundly con...
Guest post today at Reading and Chickens! As an addendum, my aunt did finally send the picture of me holding the chickens with a look of absolute horror on my face, but MAN I looked like shit that da...
1. Bye Bye Miss American Pie. This is the one that people inevitably use to lure their drunk guy friend onstage, because he loves that song, bro, and he knows all the words. First of all, no he doesn...
1. True or false: I should sing “Fancy” by Reba McEntire at live band karaoke on Wednesday. Did you know that I love karaoke? It’s true. I think saying that on my blog gives me the ...
(EDITED TO ADD: I have a whole new, never-before-seen post on Thought Catalog about dating divorced men. Remember when I used to date? Those were some good times.) Last night I dreamt that: – I...
I’ve never really had any professional ambition, other than to be able to buy myself things and go on vacation and have people like me. I entered college as an international studies major, some...
I have a much more interesting blog post percolating about ambition, but for now: 1. What would you wear with this dress? I particularly need shoe help. I want the most comfortable ones possible that...
Don’t think about how your current desk, in your current office, is the only place in the world where you can get anything done, how you come in on the weekends sometimes to do homework or file your ...
1. What’s your all-time favorite TV show? This one sounds pretty good. The Greatest TV Show in the World …in my best estimation, the blueprint for the greatest television program the wor...
I have so much job drama going on. So, so much. It’s all I think about, dream about, wake up fretting about. I am not good with uncertainty. Nor change, as it happens. Unforttunately, in this c...
So, last week was a doozy. My poor head was spinning twenty different ways–mostly good ways, but still. A friend of mine who has successful lost weight and kept it off said that the two most im...
Obviously, I read every book, including Farmer Boy. Only poseurs skipped that one. I coveted every detail–bonnets and petticoats and tin plates and Ma’s china shepherdess. Remember when they go...
1. Hey, remember when I used to write stuff that wasn’t lists or sponsored posts? Those were some fun times, back then. I mean, I cried a lot more often, but I think me bleeding all over the p...
“But how do you feeeeeel about that?” “But how do YOU feel about that?” “I think you’re angry at your mother.” “Seems like that’s really pinging ...
And I’m not counting them. Don’t ask me. Today has been an amazing day. I’d say I’m loathe to talk about it for fear of jinxing myself, but I have called and emailed about 90 ...
