Loading ...Recently, some friends of mine have diagnosed themselves as lactose intolerant. One realized that milk in her coffee could result in hours of pain, the other was a lapsed vegan and spent an evening in the fetal position after reintroducing dairy to her routine. We went for frozen yogurt on a perfect May […]

I love a terrible chick flick as much as the next girl, but sometimes you need a night with the boys to have a quality cinematic experience. Below, I’ve listed some movies my guys have endorsed or introduced me to, and hope you love them as much as we do:
Swingers. “You’re so money, […]

Comments (4) What You CAN Do with a B.A. in English
May 12, 2008 - 9:30 am
What can you do with a B.A. in English? What is my life going to be?
Four years of college, and plenty of knowledge
Have earned me this useless degree
I can’t pay the bills yet, ’cause I have no skills yet
The world is a big scary place,
But somehow I can’t shake the feeling I might make
A […]

Comments (8) Spice It Up a Little
May 11, 2008 - 12:00 pm
Moving is one of those experiences that forces you to look at what quantifies your existence in the real world. As I box up books and birthday cards, clothing and toiletries, it occurs to me that my possessions are ideal for a nomadic lifestyle.
Aside from my bed, I could pick up and go at […]

May 10, 2008 - 11:30 am
I’m really not a crier. Not at movies, when I’m sad, when I’m frustrated, nothing. It just doesn’t happen. My entire family is that way, we just aren’t wired to shed tears.
I flew home for a funeral two months ago and my mom’s best friend from childhood came over, sobbing her condolences as […]

No-bake cookies may not be aesthetically pleasing, but they’re so delicious it’s worth embracing your inner chubscout and forgetting their appearance. You can make them on the stove, get your chocolate fix, and keep the mess to a minimum. A-mazing.
Please note that there is peanut butter in this recipe, so for those with […]

Comments (3) Your Friend’s Friends… Too Much? Too Soon?
May 9, 2008 - 11:30 am
A close set of girlfriends is like a corset, generally helping you maintain as much poise as possible through all walks of life while proving to be an incredibly tight system of support. If you’re lucky, they know you better than you know yourself (or than you’d prefer to admit to yourself) and love […]

Comments (0) A (French) Toast to Sunday Brunch
May 8, 2008 - 12:30 pm
Mmmm, brunch. Hands-down, this is the best part of my weekend. I love a diner as much as the next New Yorker, but I was raised in the Midwest on the kind of French toast that will have you longing for lazy Sunday afternoons in your kitchen. This is what I usually […]

Comments (1) “This Friend”
May 5, 2008 - 11:30 am
People in relationships baffle me. They spend their lives living vicariously through singles, dragging them into their cult of couplehood, when really, what must they want other than to be back in those uncomfortable but oh so attractive shoes? It’s schaedenfreude.
They’re not happy until we’re miserable like them. They obsess over […]
