Ticket in hand, I stood in the streets with some 60,000 people, passed through four security checks, and just made it in. There are few words to describe being there except to say it was emotional and I couldn’t help but be overwrought by its effect. I made it home at 1:30 this morning, I’m [...]

After this week’s developments (looks like my Dad might have a job opportunity!), I finally got around to carving my pumpkin last night- the pumpkin that my deer-hunting, Republican, Palin-loving Uncle gave me from his garden. I can’t wait to send him an email with this picture attached! MOO-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA!!! Also, thanks to Emo always reading [...]

I also am generally opposed to placing my political beliefs upon those around me, including on this blog (unless it’s to decry my own apparent penchant for only meeting and dating Republicans as it were). That said, whether you’re labeled a “right wing hate-monger” or [...]

It’s been a difficult couple of months. I’ve been listless. I’ve been annoyed. At times, I’ve even been desperate. How desperate?I’ve become a frequent viewer of Deal or No Deal.As aweful as that sounds, I’m sorry to say, it gets a lot worse. I’ve been brought as low as The Moment of Truth on Fox. [...]

Yes, we’re still chatting about the Superbowl (take that you cad, Tom Brady!), the commercials (kinda boring, no?), and digesting last night’s bagel dogs. And yes, we’re only three days into New York Fall Fashion Week, and I’m glued to the The New York Times coverage. And yes, tomorrow’s Fat Tuesday (meaning there are many, [...]
