Its not who gets there first that matters.

Facebook is going public today. While I am not a Facebook aficionado (yes, I read your notes, no I will not set up a profile anytime soon) I do appreciate the concept from a purely optimistic viewpoi...

Stuff we said that time

"So has it improved or is it still weird?" Jen asked. "I cant tell," I said. "Its like being trapped inside a black and white farce movie where everything is -- oddly enough -- su...

Some dawns wait

If we are being honest and not-smartypants I did not think of that title. Probably it is a line from another Langston Hughes poem since that is all I am reading in the bathroom while being literary f...

Monday morning, shes a cool cat

Clearly Frankie T. Cat also appreciates The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes. Shis a hip cat, a cool order, a fluffy tail, of course she likes poetry from the 1930s. Her current fave: ADVICE Folks,...

Mean Girls

You expect mean girls in junior high, high school, and the hallowed halls of freshman rush season. Its like acne or failing drivers ed, a stumbling bump on the road to adulthood. The pleasures of get...

Dig and be dug in return

Now listen, I am not what you would call a poetry lover. In my world only two kinds of poetry exist -- remarkable poetry, which is so rare its almost extinct, and the other crap. The other crap is al...

We Need To Talk About Boggle

In times of heightened stress, my release-valve pastimes include wine drinking, TV viewing, experimenting with new and unusual make-up products, and playing online Boggle. When the stress is very int...

The return of the clean-crazy

I have been on a tear these past few days, bringing on a total terrorization of clutter. I have no idea where these moments of clean-crazy come from, but when I wake up feeling the deep desire to do ...

All the things plus that time I almost burned down the building with a pop tart

The first thing you should know is that I paid almost $300 to have someone professionally install the new version of this software on my server, because upgrading from 2004 MT software to 2012 MT sof...

In which I recap TV as if I were at the Entertainment Weekly staff meeting

Oh, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Mondays, 9 p.m. Bravo TV, also in infinite repeats forever especially on sick days.) I may be venturing to your Villa Blanca and I may be indeed loving your crue...

Los Angeles at night

Raindrops keep falling on my head

I love rainy days in Los Angeles. The building next door has tin rain gutters and the sound is surprisingly comforting, like soft southern rain on a barn roof. The bathroom in the hallway has a skyli...

Rise of the machines

The DVR cerebellum is mighty. Somewhere along the line my Tivo developed a brain of its own and grew wise and now outranks me in IQ. Proof? A few weeks ago it spontaneously decided on its own to stop...

Bold

Oh Magique! Are you a stripper? A sparkling body spray? A purveyor of magic tricks? A master of disguise? So many questions! So little time at the red light.

I learned to Dougie, and other signs the world may indeed be ending.

Last night I went to a hip hop dance class at a local studio. This is part of my effort to get out of my house at night instead of staying home alone with my boyfriend, Tivo. He loves me ... but he w...

Mayan Calendars, Mayan Onions

Did you make any New Years resolutions? I made a few small goals for 2012, assuming the planet stays intact. I love that NASA felt the need to issue a press release stating that the world will not ac...

One foot in front of the other

This first week of the year is known in my neighborhood for the appearance of two things: 1) Mysteriously growing piles of poor, dried-out Christmas trees on the curb. 2) A flood of new exercisers on...

This day, this crazy summer (January) day.

By now you already know this little stretch on the calendar is one of my favorites, the end of an old year and the crisp optimism that comes with a brand-new set of months. All possibilities are back...

Christmas 2011

I was on the phone yesterday with Jennifer N., talking about the holidays. "You are the only person I know who loves and hates Christmas so much," she said. And it is true. The expensive ther...

Three good things

There are eleven days left in 2011. The end of the year is always a tangled time especially for those of us who naturally bend toward insanity, but I like the dusting out of the old year and finishin...

Thursday, the best day of the week
