Today was hands down the best Saturday I’ve had in quite some time. I’m talking the whole day here. It was awesome for several reason, which I’ll rate in order of the lessor awesome (obviously still bitchin’) to most awesome.
3.) The curtains of doom are finally GONE! I started hating those things pretty much as [...]

I’ve done something I never thought possible: I walked into Lowe’s today and bought an item to improve my home that is not electronic. You hear that, interwebs? I walked into a home improvement warehouse. And bought something. My first ever set of blinds, to be specific.
Tomorrow, one set of the eight-foot tall by ten-foot [...]

Future graduate students be forewarned: graduate school eats weekends whole for breakfast and doesn’t even spit out the bones. And if you think for even a minute that you can use your weekend for interesting things like little day trips across the city, trying out new recipes to change things up a bit, or even [...]

I didn’t consciously do this, but I’ve developed a secret code word for annihilating and/or relocating unwanted crickets from my home. It started thanks to the many numbers of crickets who consider my homestead a Beverly Hills mansion in their own little world of real estate. Every time I’d see one of the things, I’d [...]

Make way for one doozy of a list. This one: “All things that may or may not be sucking the life out of me.”
1.) It’s almost Monday, and being the lousy blog-contest host that I am, I cannot yet announce the winners. Jana had a bunch of gigs in a row this weekend, and I [...]

I was so pumped to write a new post about how excited I am that I bought a couch. But then, after steam cleaning it Sunday afternoon and then doing mad homework and study Sunday evening, it occurred to me that I didn’t feel so hot. Not feeling hot to the point that by the [...]

I really didn’t need it, but I now have super awesome closure from my many months of living with the vile swamp creature that is my former roommate. As we last stood, we had spoken on the phone and she had informed me that, because she’s the quintessential bitch, she was keeping $150 from my [...]

Today marked the second occasion, within the last two weeks, that a relative stranger informed me they thought I was straight. It’s not on account of anything even remotely masculine, either. I’d venture to guess that it’s more out of learning of my good Jewish upbringing than anything else. Or missing the guy in the [...]

Red is the color of many things. Roses. A number of my shirts. Blood. Watermelon. Fruit Punch. And, the whites of my eyes after spending an hour in the pool. Or, more specifically, an hour swimming laps in the pool in the backyard, sans goggles, chasing the dog through the water.
I’ve long believed that a [...]

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would have to become so butch in order to live in this new place. I suppose that’s just part of the package deal that comes with moving into a place that was built over 50 years ago. Basically, if this was 2003 instead of 2008, [...]
