Thank you all for your lovely advice. I probably should mention that I am the product of a loving union between a Democrat and a Republican, so I’ve seen evidence that politics needn’t be a dealbreaker. Man, it is a hard one to get over, though. I don’t want to say anything to fast too [...]

My mouth tastes like purple
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 [...]

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 [...]

Your Monopoly’s a joke
My sister just moved to a new apartment and is now living with her boyfriend. Did you hear that, Birmingham? My YOUNGER sister is ONE STEP AHEAD in the dating / moving in together / getting married / having babies / living happily ever after game. Please take note. Thank you. Speaking of games, the [...]

If you can’t take the heat, get a kosher kitchen
When it’s hot like this outside, so hot that I can FEEL the air, think I’ll never see blue sky again, it reminds me of a day back when I was working in a bookstore in midtown Manhattan. The owner of the store was a very nice lady (I’ll call her Maxine for blog purposes.) [...]

I’m smiling like this because I have no idea what’s going on
I think I broke myself. I’ve been wanting to do so many things since I got back from the weekend (including writing about the weekend) but I’m hex-austed, physically and mentally. I’ve been going to these conventions since I was a kid, but now that I’m an adult representing a company not owned by my [...]

I choo-choo-choose you
I took Metro North to and fro the Mets game last night. They won in the 12th inning, but I had to leave by the 7th, foreseeing that the game was likely to go into the extra innings. One of my favorite things about the trains on the Hudson line is that the cars on [...]
