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 [...]

And So I Poured the Milk
Last night I was treadmilling at the gym and my individual controls were stuck on the local Fox news station which was showing the 6:00 news. The news of the day was the untimely death of Heath Ledger, not the fact that I actually managed 30 seconds of jogging. (Which I did!) From my vantage [...]

On the stem
I did one activity yesterday: I got a ride to the feed store to get the lovely Micki more cat food. That one trip made my ankle feel out of whack for the rest of the day. Since I go to the doctor tomorrow to get the stitches out, and I feel like I’m cramming [...]

Pushing House
Remember, back in the days of the old blog, when I contemplated getting cable at home? Well, I never did it, and now my neighbor has WiFi, so I’m getting rid of my cable connection to the internet and piggybacking off him. (He said it was okay as long as I kept offering brownies to [...]

Stranger than Fiction
Sometimes, when I’m doing my mundane weekend cleaning, I like to imagine that my life is being narrated as if I were in a movie or play. It may look like I’m just vacuuming and dusting and whatnot, but at any moment, some inciting incident may cause my life to arc and I can either [...]

If I did it
After all the craziness of the Harry Potter movie and book, I feel full to the brim with cultural relevance. Now that the book has been read, I have to replace its place in my heart with The Simpsons Movie, which will undoubtedly be the biggest event ever of the weekend. I’ve loved The Simpsons [...]

Random Monday: What I did this weekend in five bullet points or less
Birmingham and I saw a white knuckle suspense horror movie over the weekend. He spent the two hours alternately grabbing the side of the theater seat and covering his eyes with his hands, muttering “this is not happening… this is not happening…” Meanwhile, I laughed at him while secretly feeling scared to my core. The [...]

Almost as good as the "in memoriam" part of the Oscars
I started writing a long post about the nature of driving in New Jersey based on observations I made while driving my parents to Newark Airport last night. But what can I say, it just wasn’t interesting. I bored myself while proofreading it. So let me sum up: If you are driving in New Jersey [...]

Just my type
It’s Friday, and I’m tired, and I have random bruises all over my shins from last night’s kickball game, even though 5 innings + 18 players on the team = only one “at bat” for me. The bruises must be from the pre-game practice where I put all my energy into getting that damn rubber [...]

Linky loo
Recently, Birmingham told me to just put a link in a post and not worry about what to write. So, to get the taste of the World’s Worst Movie That I Saw This Weekend out of my mouth, here’s a link to a photoshop contest of movie posters re-done in the Grindhouse style. I’ll tell [...]
