When I woke up this morning, two things were immediately clear: My sinuses, one. And two, it’s kinda chilly out. I can’t even describe my joy. I bounded out of bed. I was a happy, slobbery puppy. I got coffee. I did a little boogie. I applied eye makeup with ferociousness and without fear. I [...]

It is raining ah. gain. How can that even be? Is there really that much available water in the sky? Really? Really?
I am sick of walking in the rain. I am sick of babysitting my wet umbrella on the El so it doesn’t get too close to some other innocent rain victim. I am sick [...]

Today is rainy, but I’m getting better at my rainy day procedure. First of all, I bring two sweaters, one with a hood, that’s the rainy sweater. One without a hood, that’s the indoors sweater. Second, I bring an extra pair of sandals too. I know it sounds dumb, but sitting at my desk dripping [...]

My car, an adorable green 96 Saturn, is named Rex because I think it looks like a dinosaur. And sometimes I call it Sexy Rexy as though I named it after Empire Records, but truthfully, I just thought that the car looked kind of like a dinosaur face. Anyway Rex is not doing so well. Pretty bad, in [...]
Not all that cold

I have not been all that cold yet this winter. I think there are two factors contributing to this. For one, it has actually not been that cold yet this winter.
For instance, a little comparison: Last year (aka “The Long Winter” by ML) our heat did not work properly so my apartment was chronically below 60 [...]

1. I am laying off the caffeine. (you: what?!) You heard me. I just had a mug of tea for breakfast. (you: tea?!) Yes. I have been making tea for myself in the morning. The reasons for this are twofold: Firstly, I have a whole lot of tea in my house. So muchthat it warrants [...]

Well, for one thing, I started reading The Neverending Story, as recommended to me over and over again by Joe and Wayne. I am currently on page 20, that’s about 15 minutes of progress or so (lunch, yesterday) and already I found a quote that I think speaks volumes about my childhood. Hahaha. Also, I [...]

One of my frogs is missing. Wait, that was not dramatic enough. ONE OF MY FROGS IS MISSING. It is by far the biggest unsolved mystery I have encountered for quite a little while. I do not know what could’ve possibly happened, but it can’t be good.
Wayne, if you remember, bought me some adorable little [...]

To start, a short list of things that are Very Common that seem Very Unique and Even Worth Talking About when they are happening to you:
1. For boys, growing a beard. I find that every single guy who has grown one talks incessently about how much it itches for like two weeks.
2. Growing out your bangs. Ditto, [...]

Today is Wednesday that feels like Tuesday, one of my favorite kinds of day. Generally my brain catches up later in the week, but it’s those first two days that every time you think, “What day is it?” you go, “Tuesday– no!– Wednesday.” I like it. It’s another thing that’s like standing on your bed and [...]
