First, two obnoxious things: First: Knock knock. Who’s there? To. To who? To WHOM. (You have to say it as primly and severely as possible. And choose your audience wisely, because let me tell you how uncomfortable it is for everyone involved when the person who’s hearing the joke doesn’t get it: VERY uncomfortable. Very. [...]
I wish I were the kind of person who could watch this video and think, oh, how sweet! Instead, I am a bitter hag and I think bitter thoughts. Why do people DO that? Why can’t anyone say what they mean? Why can’t I say to Lieu, I love you, and the way you treat [...]
(If you’re visiting for the first time, take a minute to enter the giveaway for a $50 Amazon gift card and some blog assistance. Thanks!) Reading this recent interview with one of the two (male) authors of a forthcoming book, “Premarital Sex in America: How Young Americans Meet, Mate and Think About Marrying”, I thought, [...]
You know, when we embark upon new things, some old things are lost. Which is just a heavy way of saying: the new blog structure means I had to re-submit email subscriptions for those of you who had subscribed by email.

Isn’t it pretty? The old design was hurting my face. To celebrate the launch of the new design, and give me something fun to do, we’re having a giveaway! Yes, you too could benefit from my January blahs, with a shiny new $50 gift certificate from Amazon.com, and one of two prizes from my [...]
1. Mirroring For a while when things were at their worst, I attended group therapy sessions with a bunch of other depressed women. It was just about as awful as it sounds. I hated it, partly because sessions were held at an inconvenient time, partly because I am a control freak who prefers to lead [...]
I recently found one of my high school best friends, Heidi, on Facebook. Heidi and I were fiercely connected–I was her labor coach when she had her first baby at 19–but we lost touch after I returned to DC for good. (The first picture of hers I saw on Facebook was of that now-16-year-old baby [...]
At dinner with my Philly friend, the night before my first class, we were talking about boys. PF, who is lending me her spare room for the next two years, has been one of my best friends for going on 14 years. She started her own battles with online dating and the quest for capital-L [...]
…is not a phrase that has ever been used to describe me…though I do actually have a surprising penchant for such things as white water rafting and riding roller coasters (or I did, until a roller coaster tried to kill me last summer, but that’s another story.) I also kind of love that stomach flop [...]
