America’s “Future”….STD Repositories

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

So there I am, driving along in my boyfriend’s car (which he is so kind as to lend me whenever I choose to drive rather than take the train to work), smiling at all of the Little Faces out for their morning walks, singing along to Lady Gaga (Teeth), you know, generally minding my own [...]

Color Me Indecent

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I am, at present, besieged with inner turmoil, an ethical and moral dilemma, a conflict of righteousness of my own making.

I am getting my hair cut and colored once again this Saturday. Having decided that the shade of brunette I chose last November is “way harsh” for my pasty-ass skin tone, I have been looking [...]

Race Relations in the Race to the Altar

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I haven’t posted in a week. I’ve been stewing over something that I’m not exactly sure how to appropriately articulate, and lo and behold it has to do with another one of my friends.
There we sat, discussing a friend of a friend and the outlandish lengths she’s gone to in order to meet “someone,” expanding [...]

Baby Shower Bamboozling

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Can someone please explain to me what the hell a “Couples Shower” is? Because I just don’t even know anymore.
My friend Mara, the same one who got married in all kinds of annoying ways, who went AWOL after ascending to the state of wifedom, and who is now in the family way; has sent me a [...]

The Essential Art of Bus Seat Selection

Monday, January 25th, 2010

After five years in this city, I find myself  no better at bus seat selection. I get flustered and dismayed that everyone is looking at me and my mind is screaming “HURRY UP get out of everyone else’s way!” I board the bus, scan my card with a hello to the driver, and briskly approach the [...]

Jersey Shore is Creeping on My Subconscious

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

So last night I slept like a punk per usual. Asleep by 11:15, awake again at 3:30, back asleep around 4:40, then up for work at 5:30. I suck at sleeping. It’s epic.
In the middle of all of this nonsleeping, I woke up from a crazy ass dream. Apparently, I was meeting the cast of [...]

My Ever-Lasting Bra Strap Fishing Expedition

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

It really is never ending, people. And I just don’t understand it.
I go to Victoria’s Secret. I get fitted for a bra (don’t get too excited boys- no nudity or boob fondling is involved), which is generally a sad experiment because each attempt seems to yield a different result. 32B. 34A. 34B. Triumph! They’re getting [...]
