I went to the orthopedic surgeon (the new one, not the jerk) yesterday to get new x-rays on my ankle. Things are looking good, and we’re talking pin removal come January so I can gain enough flexibility to go down stairs normally again. Woo-hoo! Also, provided my employment stays the same, insurance covers the whole [...]

Quid Pro No
Before I moved to the Hudson Valley, I was a location manager for films and television shows in New York City. For most of my jobs, I was just a locations assistant, taking orders from my boss, telling pedestrians to clear the shot (walk on the other side of the street) and ask anyone in [...]

Preferred whoever
I’ve been getting a lot more junk mail at my new place than in my old place. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the landlesbian isn’t taking it. When it came to the mailbox we all shared on the farm, she always had first dibs on “resident” and “occupant” [...]

10. The Towne Crier
“The problem is that I’m seated and sober.” – Birmingham As I was saying yesterday, the key to being happy and single is to keep doing stuff. So when Birmingham invited me to see The Young Dubliners on Wednesday night, I had to go. In hindsight, I should have probably taken a few moments to [...]

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose
I’m a little late on this because it started on the 21st, but Happy National Singles Week everyone! I know that “happy” and “single” are words that stereotypically don’t belong together, but I think that’s hooey. Since Birmingham and I split, I’ve been thinking a lot about the nature of being single or married and [...]

Home again
I’m back! I had a lovely few days of spending quality time with the Northeast’s finest booksellers. I felt like a rock star, waking up in one city and going to bed in another, and then waking up again not certain of what state I was in. However, I went to bed before midnight every [...]

Gone Fishing. And by “fishing” I mean working.
This Thursday through Monday, I’ll be gone off at trade shows for work. First I’m going to lovely Boston, followed by even lovlier Cherry Hill, New Jersey! Becasue the nature of these shows means I’m standing all day and nowhere near a computer, there’s a good chance I may not blog, (not that I EVER [...]

Mommypants
After work on Friday, I took a journey to the wilds of New Jersey to do some new-apartment shopping with my mother and the IKEA that’s oh so close to where I grew up. Because I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, we took a leisurely stroll through the showroom, where everything’s laid out for [...]

NSFW?
On Saturday, I was hanging out with a friend from swimming and he asked me about my plans for Sunday. “I’m going to ask Birmingham to come over to my place and screw.” “Does that mean you guys are back together?” “No, it means I have some shelves I need to be put up and [...]

Ask a Canadian
I know that things keep getting political around here, and I sort of apologize for that. It’s just hard to feel really strongly about something and not think about it all the time. And one of the things I was thinking about recently was the fact that so many of us Dems are threatening to [...]
