Want him to flatline at the very sight of you? Skip the flats.

November 26, 2007

I recently read this ridiculous little piece, A pair of cute flats could be your key to a night of romance, and just couldn’t help stepping onto my soap box about it (which, incidentally, isn’t much of a hike when you’re already wearing heels). OK, seriously…flats…for a night of romance? Uh, only if I’m planning [...]

Tales from Hot Roller Hell

November 20, 2007

When your hair is two feet long, or hell, even close, do not forego all logic and think (even though you know better) that you’re going to put hot rollers—with TEETH—on your own head.

A Visit to Mommyland

November 15, 2007

I visited Mommyland, U.S.A. today, briefly. Where is Mommyland, you ask? It’s the McDonald’s Playland during lunch on a weekday. And why was I in Mommyland/Playland, you ask?

Flipping the Switch—or the Bird

November 7, 2007

Do you ever wish there was a switch you could flip that would just turn off all emotional thought? Even if only for five minutes? Without divulging details, I must confess that I feel a bit like a fish out of water at the moment. Like I am looking at my life through a crystal [...]

American Gangster

November 5, 2007

Go see it. It’s good on the level of The Departed, and as long, but not a dull moment. And seriously, does Denzel Washington ever disappoint?I am not generally the type to sit through movies that spend two hours laying the groundwork in a gritty, complicated, and boring fashion. I can appreciate layers of plot [...]

Even if I wanted to escape it…

November 1, 2007

the pregnancy/baby topic, that is, I couldn’t. Everywhere I look, everywhere I turn, there it is, and there they are (babies, baby bumps). Today, I got adorable (and welcome) photos of my best friend’s son in his Halloween costume. Then, unsolicited, I get my cousin’s kid in her costume as well. Then (and hell, this [...]
