I still don’t have cable, so my viewing habits are like this: I wait for a show to get popular and run at least a full season. Then I rent it from Netflix. I consume every last bit of episode. If it is a still-running show, I befriend someone with TV to watch it at [...]

Failure is not an option
Just post a link? It must be Wednesday. I’d hate to miss a day of posting because I am not a failure. Like all these people. I hate that sometimes the meanest stuff makes me laugh, but it does. Aaron, there’s even a Star Wars item in there for you. Oh, and your Bloglines did [...]

And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
I shouldn’t let another moment go by without mentioning the coolest thing I did this weekend. I went to a seminar at Adam’s Fairacre Farms called “Getting to Know Tofu.” I had to drive all the way to Newburgh to get to it, as I had missed it when it was at my local Adam’s [...]

Cringeworthy
I was at dinner with a guy last night* (*blind date) who told me, “I’m probably the most interesting person you’ll ever meet.” It was a nice try on his part considering I had eliminated the possibility of him becoming the next Mrs. Noelle Tannenbaum before we even sat down. Also, when you weigh in [...]

Wade, I’d like to participate in the “Why I vote Pro-Choice” memes. However, time constraints are keeping me from writing something something of my own. Instead, [...]

The Great Oz Trip
Most of you know or figured out that “Noelle Tannenbaum” is not my real name. You may also have figured out that I don’t use my real name on the blog out of respect for the member of the Canadian Parliament who shares the exact same combination of vowels and consonants on her driver’s license. [...]

After this, I’m so done writing about me.
Some more advice from this side of 30: I was talking with a guy last night,* and in the course of the discussion, right after I mentioned that I love my bed and got it for a college graduation present he said, “are you sure that you’re as old as you say you are? Because [...]

Why didn’t anyone tell me my ass was so big?
Today’s lesson is about ice on the windshield. Some people will tell you that the best way to get ice off a windshield is with a credit card. But those people are wrong. On one hand, you don’t want to go getting your credit card too icy, and on the other hand, the surface area [...]
