ISO Guy with Dentist Pen

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

I’ve been to see “He’s Just Not That Into You.” After having read the book and immediately returning it years ago (I was deep in denial when nearly half the book pointed out that my long term relationship was with someone who apparently wasn’t “that into me”), I was prepared to hate this movie. In [...]

Totally Effed

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

A couple of months ago, my lady doctor recommended I switch up my birth control. Last summer, the one I had previously been on for 10 years let me down, resulting in my fainting on public transportation and an unfortunate Visit that lasted for THREE whole weeks.

Made to Be Broken?

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

As my former blog description noted (my journal wants a trial separation ambivalently mocks me), in addition to my writing here I continue to keep a private journal, the contents of which I sometimes peruse in reflection.

Friday, April 4th, 2008

So I was talking about London the other day during lunch with a mixed group of my co-workers, and happened to mention something about Goodge Street. At which point, I saw one of the younger girls seize up in shock and dismay that I would utter such a word so nonchalantly.“Did you just say what [...]

Pregnancy is the New Black

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Holy hell, what are they putting in the water in Hollywood? Half the town is gestating! First it was Britney and Angelina. Then Kat(i)e Holmes Cruise. And then- gasp!- Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Alba. And now, good Lord, it’s 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears. And Lily Allen. And Jennifer Love [...]
