accountability/ flashback friday
11 July 2008Okay, sports fans– I am cutting all of my hair off tomorrow. (Also, my new “thing” is to address people as Sports Fans in situations where it in no way applies. I would never say it to my fantasy baseball league, but somehow, it’s okay when I say it to my book club. So look [...]
notes on having missed my calling
17 June 2008I commute now. Not only is this ruining my day-to-day life, it’s also kind of wrecking my future plans– I always thought I’d keep it real for the next decade or so and then move back to the jerze so that my children could grow up knowing what grass smells like and in a house [...]
I have way too much to say on this one
10 June 2008NYT article about how to make more young people move to the ‘burbs over the city. Good luck, brave urban planners!
a beautiful day in the neighborhood
10 June 2008This morning Aunt K emailed out this article about all the reasons to love Mister Rogers, which lead me to this Mister Rogers profile, which I think originally ran in Esquire, and single handedly restored my faith in mankind. What a guy.
Hi. I live in new jersey.

- Deciding it was a good day to break my One Diet Soda Per Week Rule (I have an [...]
Something in the way she moves
27 May 2008I’m moving Friday. It’s going to be hilarious (I hope). Or, it already has been, sort of– I’ve been enjoying my “coping” mechanisms from kind of a third party viewpoint a la “Isn’t it so interesting that instead of packing/ repainting the living room/ spackling the nail holes that are dotted all over this place, [...]

breaking news
10 May 2008Turns out I have curly hair in real life. Who knew??
new happy place
22 April 2008I watched this video 8 times before 9:15 this morning. And kind of teared up a little, but was mostly overcome with giddiness. As Work Friend Sarah says, “I thought that the best part had to be the giant squid. Then Steven Hawking showed up.”
Trust me on this one– and happy earth day!
