OK so I got up a little late, I’m a little late to the party.
But all is well. Hey, if every day for the next eight years I get to wake up to Rahm Emmanuel high-five-ing various other men in suits, I can slash my porn budget in HALF.
Man is Sex-ay.
While I was making my [...]

So I’ve been jetting up to Boston a lot lately, trying to get accepted to my school of choice for that elusive graduate degree. (This effort would be greatly assisted if those who have been asked for recommendations would send them in. Just sayin’.)
Most recently, I was back in the Back Bay for my admission [...]

So I’m at some lousy store, spending the $50 gift card that somebody who does NOT know me very well gave me for Christmas. I actually loathe this store, as it gives me awful, vivid flashbacks to my childhood of penury, but hey, $50 is $50, and I have needs.
Today my needs are focussed on [...]

What do you think? Do you think that of the two parties in an argument about money, in which one party disputed the wisdom of saving versus spending, and the other party — the pro-saving party — was HERSELF accused of being a poor saver, and was thereby provoked and incited to apply [...]

Today I amused myself by spending all my holiday gift cards and gift certificates. It almost ended in astonishing tragedy! because I couldn’t find one of the best ones: a gift certificate to my favorite yarn shop, Adventures in Knitting!
C’mon. Yarn shops have to have totally queer names. It’s the law. [...]

Today was a busy day!
I had a lot to do, and not many hours to sleep before I did it, so I set my alarm to get up at a reasonable time that would allow me to arrive at my work-related destination AND allow me to purchase a large steaming cup of coffee at my [...]

So we’re off to Syracuse for Christmas tomorrow. Not that I want to, but I have to. You know how it is. In-laws, and all that.
Well, at least going to Syracuse and being only mildly uncomfortable will relieve me of the obligation of staying here and being truly uncomfortable with my family. I just wish [...]

So I blew off an evening with my dear friend Saucy due to extreme emotional exhaustion. We had a date to watch a some Hugh Grant or Colin Firth movie or something, but I called it on account of Fucking Tired.
And although I am sorry to have to postpone an evening’s debauch of watching emotionally [...]

Dear friends and colleagues;
You may officially herewith desist from averting your eyes. No, seriously. It’s safe to look. I waxed.
Yes, I have been aware of what the heck was going on above my upper lip these last two weeks. Yes, I have seen your eyes float innocently down to the lower half of my face, only [...]
