Last year on St. Patrick’s Day, I was in Montueka, New Zealand, wearing an “Irish I were drunk” shirt drinking Baileys Irish Cream alongside new Chilean friends while filming a “Happy Birthday” video for my ex-boyfriend that I would give him belatedly in the States. This year, however, I was not celebrating St. Paddy’s Day. … Continue reading The Roswell Death March
It’s Friday, y’all! And it’s the Friday in which Brutus earned his way into the 9th level of Hell! Here is a testament to my week. It all went downhill on Wednesday, hence the delay in posting a blog. As usual, I wrote a blog draft on the morning of Weekly Writing Wednesday, but I … Continue reading Beware the Ides of March
“This show is my life” Every six months or so, I become obsessed with a new TV show. It started with Friends (and will, to some degree, always be Friends **head bowed, fist in the air**), then it moved to Sex in the City, Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, and now it is … Continue reading My Life in TV
Just yesterday I had a long conversation with a Bostonian about what type of person is “difficult,” in the business-consumer kind of way. I claim it’s the boss-type, one who is used to having power and/or wealth, such as CEO’s, AVP’s, those girls on Sweet Sixteen, “experts”, etc. I do not, myself, exhibit this behavior … Continue reading The Gum Crisis (And My Governmental Conspiracy Theory)
I have discovered, yet again, that there is an inverse relationship between wanting to write (or feeling the pressure to write) and being able to produce something that doesn’t suck. I have wanted to write a blog for nearly a week now, and even though I have a bunch of “material,” nothing comes … Continue reading Worst Blog Ever: an Ode to Valentine’s Day
A QUESTION OF LANGUAGE My college students read an essay by Gloria Naylor entitled, “A Question of Language,” and I have several things to comment about this experience. The first is that hooray for me, I actually got my college students reading! Last semester I could have dropped my class into a pot … Continue reading I am Tiger
THE PLAGUE OF PEANUT BUTTER I’ve been running experiments to see what causes my weird, fluctuating weight gain. Despite the obvious hypothesis of “Hello! How about that daily intake of ice cream?” I refuse to believe it –though I DID switch back and forth between no-sugar added and low-fat / no-fat ice cream, and … Continue reading Have a butcher’s, mate
A Tale of a Nalgene I’ve been without my Nalgene for eleven days now, and I’m a pitiful case without it. Anyone who has ever seen me—like, on a bus or at school or in a RESTAURANT (it’s rather embarrassing to realize I’ve walked into an establishment that serves food and drink, and I … Continue reading Misconceptions and Considerations: Dearly Beloved H2O
It has been brought to my attention that there could be a fourth reason why men would not want to read a blog about relationship advice written by a woman (more specifically, by me), and that could be this: The advice is stupid. “Make it rain”? Really, Jenny—make it rain? Not “fix … Continue reading Men Vs. Women II
The Blogging Conundrum Answer me this. Recently, one of my friends found a blog by this guy who answers women’s questions about relationships and how to score a man and all of that. And his blog went viral—like thousands of women flocked to it. Now, being a blogger who doesn’t experience quite as much traffic … Continue reading Men Vs Women
