Why is it difficult to write the words (where someone else might read them) “I am a feminist”?  When I say or write these words I am worried someone would make fun of me, berate me, or invalidate my argument.  I really wonder sometimes why appeals for feminism have to be prefaced with caveats and […]

I’ve spent the last few nights watching the Olympics from the comfort of my bed.  It’s been nice, and I am a big fan of everything Olympics related.  However, I never knew how exciting it is to watch swimming events.  Swimming is what NBC is broadcasting the most, I think because every newscaster has a […]

Today I’ve seen three goatees.  I am hoping that this trend isn’t making a comeback…   Facial hair configurations are seriously the worst.  BEARD OR SHAVE PLEASE?!

I figured this year’s move would be better (easier) than last year’s.  The idea of moving three blocks instead of across the state tricked me into thinking this; and mostly both sucked because both involved the city of New York.  And jesus god, I never want to move again.

It looks like a political figure has once again been caught (or appears to have been caught) in a scandalous situation.  This scandal is bigger than the Spitzer scandal in the scandal matrix, because Edwards has not only been unfaithful to his wife, who is battling breast cancer, but he also has fathered a love […]

Yesterday I bought insoles, today they’re in my shoes.  I have been wearing these shoes, insoles inside, for approximately one hour and a half and they are vastly improved.  My walk to work used to hurt a little, just from my shoes, and today I walked faster, and yes, even bouncier.  One thing that was […]

It’s not often I’m confronted with my “I’mtooyoungtofurnishmylivingspacethewayIwanttobecauseI’mpoor” lifestyle.  But last night, I went to Ikea for the first time ever and it was really nice.  My mother was looking for a computer desk and a little table for her kitchen and I was along for the ride, and mostly because I’d never been to […]

Whenever I visit my parents, I make sure to visit Target before returning to stupid target-less NYC.  I mean, targets exist here, but not in the wonderful, stocked, convenient glory of the suburbs.  Last weekend, my mom bought me this great lime/mustard green sweater dress with a drawstring.  I secretly suspect that my mom bought […]

Just read this story about a modern day case of slavery.  This woman “employed” two Indonesian woman.  And by employed I mean she beat them and abused them while they worked for her; after she had confiscated their passports and visas.  The family paid the “housekeepers’” families 100 dollars a month.  Besides, doesn’t she just LOOK […]
